P90X Chin-Up Bar Review
The P90X Chin Up Bar does a good job of of making any doorway a great pullup bar workout area. Construction of the bar which comes in various lengths of metal bars was intuitive, but it also comes with step by step instructions if needed. The bar was reasonably sturdy for my weight of 175 lbs. and allows close grip, medium grip, and wide grip pullups. Whether someone weighing much over 175 lbs. (say 200-250 lbs.) would put too much stress on the bar is a concern. You can leave the bar up or take it down after each workout, which is very convenient if your workout area is also your living area.

Great product. Im 210lbs and it has held up for the last 90 days without a budge. Solid, easy to take down and put back up! I have worked out with it on the p90x program (great program) and it has done great for my back and strength training. Best product for the money spent. Enjoy!

I bought this because I lived in an apartment. I did NOT use anything other than the bar to work out with; in other words, I did NOT use the extra brackets. It is my opinion that you don’t “have” to use them, but they are there for safety/legal reasons. If you have controlled and thoughtful motion, the way it sits on the door frame and pushes on the sides makes it sturdy enough. However, to remove the bar, you lift it up (as seen on TV). If you were not paying attention during a workout, I can see where the lawyers are afraid you might dislodge it… so therefore, the extra security of the brackets. Your choice. Beware, however, that the bar fits only standard doors. I’ve since moved into a townhouse with smaller spaces, and if there isn’t room ABOVE the door, it won’t work (the ceiling is flush with the door frame in the areas I have doors). Also, your door can’t be WIDER than the bar (as in two double doors that open), because it needs the sides of the door frame to push against. If you have normal sized doors, this is the one for you. The brackets? You can probably do without, but in case a lawyer is reading this… I’ll say that you should use the brackets.

The P90x chin up bar is an excellent chin up bar with multiple hand grips for the best possible workout. I’ve been using it with the P90x tapes, but will continue to use it even after the 90 days. At first, the nuts were difficult to fasten, but after pulling out my drill, they easily tightened. I also did not use the metal plates over the door frame. I’m a female, 5′6” and weigh 125 and the bar stays firmly in the doorway without shifting while I workout. It fits very snuggly without them, but I think they are more for securing purposes. Also, at first, the black part of the bar that goes over the door frame was rubbing off some black color on the white walls in my apartment, so I improvised with some clear plastic wrap (the kind that sticks to itself easily) and problem solved. I would definitely recommend this bar over others.
