JayflexCrossGrips Compact Pull Up Bar - Pull Up Bar Door Frame for Work from Home Fitness - Adjustable Door Frame Pullup Bar Handles - 250 lbs Capacity

I recently moved to a new apartment. I have used the regular pull up bar that you attach to the door frame for the last 3 years. However, it did not fit on my door frames at my new place. The door frames are slightly more narrow than most door frames. These worked perfectly. Price is more than what I would normally pay but there is literally not another pull up tool like this.PROS: It fits all door frames. I'm a 5'9 180 it supports me just fine. There is no slippage. Can easily use neutral grip and overhand grip. It's portable and you can use basically anywhere.CONS: If your door frame is narrow like mine you won't be able to do wide grip pull ups. Also do not swing while doing any type of pull-up. It's meant for strictly going up and down. Don't get me wrong it's pretty secure. But I can see that swinging with a lot of force can cause it slip off and fall. But like I said you will have to have a lot of force and momentum to get it off the frame.Overall it's great for home.

Love love love! Feels a lot more sturdy than the typical doorway pull up bar. I like how you can change the width and move easily

For years I’ve been using the more tradtional doorway pullup bars that mostly rest on the edges of door frame s, have been using the kind with neutral grip options and happy, no damage to the door frame either, especially because I use extra padding between the door frame and pull up bar. But I started looking for another option that is more travel friendly because I’ll be travelling for work more often and recently went on a two week trip overseas. These work great! They are compact and worked just about everywhere I stayed except for a hotel in an island off Greece that had no tradtional door frames to grab on to. Ive even been using now that ive been back and dissassembled my old bulky pull up bar. They grab around the frame nicely and leave no marks at all so far. Only two issues: 1) the little grips that fold down are useless, I tried to put some weight on them and one began bending so I stopped and now it’s permanently crooked, for me it’s fine because I prefer the neutral grip but if I didn’t it would be a deal breaker because there is no way those straight grips would’ve held my weight 2) I definitely heard more creeking from the doorframe than I did with the other pull up bar but if I go slow it mostly stops, this has changed the way I do pull ups but am fine with it as going slower I feel my joints don’t bother me as much. Otherwise the pros outweigh the cons. It’s a little pricey but mostly seem well built and hopefully will last a long time.

I’m a personal trainer; and always looking for new innovative equipment to add to my arsenal. I bought these for my personal use at home since the door I wanted to mount these over is a double door and too wide for the traditional full bar door frame mounted pull-up bar.I’ve owned two other different full bar brands when using them on standard doors. One was $30 and the other was $50. They caused some damage (minimal where the foam pads on the end rest on the sides of the door frame.) Being at the low cost end I figured quality would be so.I have 2 ceiling joist x-mounts that I have my gym rings and TRX and was looking for a pull-up bar attachment that would connect but prevent swinging. After not being able to find a solution I bought these.I had them over my double closet door set up instructed per the manual. After a couple days and 300 pull-ups there’s considerable damage. The rubber has scraped the paint on the wall over the frame and when doing supinated grip pull ups or wide mounted grip when you release the bars tend to rotate/spring up and ding the frame. Since there’s an Allen key hole on the bolt I assumed you could tighten the handle in a fixed position but it did not come with an Allen wrench.Also, they’re not width adjusting friendly. If you want to change the width I’d recommend taking them completely off then out back on in the spot you want. If you pull them open and try to move them over if they touch the wall at all they scrape the paint.For $110 I expected a little better quality/usability. I believe these have potential for an updated model but, I would not recommend these yet. Also, put them on a door you won’t have people seeing. Haven’t even attempted to put hanging ab straps or suspension straps with them.Note: I’m 168lbs

A little deceptive. It seems like it can clear 7.5 inches. but it barely made it onto my 6 inch door frame reason being the rubber parts of the pull up bar add on another 1 inch-ish for both sides meaning it can barely clear a 6 inch frame. I also had to do some really awkward fidgeting and twisting and turning to get it off; most likely wearing the rubber part out and putting unfavorable mechanical stress on the item.Another thing that doesn't make sense is making this spring loaded. Why not make it a separable piece? That way it can be assembled onto the door frame regardless of how wide it is. Add some kind of lock in mechanism to connect the two bits together and you now have something that's significantly stronger than spring loaded action.The spring loaded action also means you can't use resistance bands for additional variety of exercises. This is good for pull ups period. Add resistance band work and the spring loaded mechanics fail to keep it in place. This is strictly good for up and down movement. Sideways and front to back movements fail due to spring loaded action, there's no way it can handle the weight. And could handle that weight then you wouldn't be able to pull it apart to open it up.At a first glance this seemed like a good product and it is but only strictly for pull ups and even then you might damage the item just from fitting it and removing it from your door frame due to its below 6 inches of clearance width.
