This chin up bar works good. I'm 160 lbs and I haven't had any problems with it. I also have an Iron Gym but my door frame doesn't have a top edge for the crossbar to rest on, so I can't mount it (it works good for push ups though). The Sunny Health bar fits in my door frame and I can still close my door (another bar I bought locally had square brackets and I couldn't close my door with them installed--other reviews about chin up bars with square ends on amazon also talk about this as a problem). This chin up bar has circular ends and doesn't rely solely on it's brackets to keep it in place (which is good because it didn't quite fit either and I could only put in 2 of the 3 bracket screws in on each side). In addition this bar extends on BOTH SIDES to apply pressure to your door frame, which helps to keep it in place and keeps the grips centered--unlike most other bars that only adjust on one side, leaving the grips off center. It also doesn't move/turn when you're using it or after you've used it. It stays in place good and I haven't had to readjust anything. The only thing about this bar is that the screws that came with it are cheap/stripped, (they were also a little too long for my door frame...)--but that can be fixed by a quick trip to the hardware store and about $1 for new screws.

This chin up bar is good because it can be used for chin ups. This chin up bar is awesome because of a few little features that are genius.
1 - The bar extends from both ends so you can keep the hand grips centered so you'll never have one hand on one piece of pipe and the other on a smaller piece of pipe (which I find really annoying). You could also intentionally offset the center bar if you wanted for some reason.
2 - The way the bar extends is like a turnbuckle where one side unscrews turning clockwise and the other counter-clockwise. This means you can get really good tension on the bar easily.
3 - It can be mounted with the big steel cups that encompass the outside of the end caps on the bar or can be mounted using small plastic inserts. Mine didn't come with mounting instructions so maybe you're supposed to use both but I just used the plastic inserts and it works fine (I'm 165 lbs). If you're using the plastic inserts I recommend you pre-drill a pilot hole and do the final tightening by hand to reduce the chance of cracking the plastic.
I'm super happy with this bar and would recommend it because it does what it's supposed to very well and it was designed in a very user friendly way. Remember to keep it tight, yo.
Minimum door width using metal cups: 25.875"
Minimum door width using plastic inserts: 25.5"
The maximum distance the hand grips can be apart is about 18.5" on center. The grips are just over 4" wide.

There's really not to much to review with this product. It's a chin up bar. It installs easily and it holds me up. Enough said. I use it 3 times a week. I weigh 175lbs., and it's quite durable, so it will probably last a very long time. I thoroughly recommend it.

It is actually pretty good for the price. it is solid and i'm 205 lbs, and it carries me fine. Great exercise tool, just be careful when installing it to the wall the nails get twested sometimes, but over all it is a good buy.

Exactly what you need for a home pull up bar. Mine is study in the door frame even without the screws (though I weight 150). Good budget item.
