Hello everyone! This is my first post on Boards.ie
I think these "door-loop" things from amazon look fairly good. All they appear to be is two separate plastic hand grips that hook onto the top of a door which are held in place when the door is closed. You pull yourself up by them to perform a pull-up. They're designed to be taken anywhere and have zero set up time, which is good.
http://www.amazon.com/Lifeline-Power-Up-Chin-Ups/dp/B00065BT3G/ref=pd_sbs_sg_title_3
They're reasonably priced and have had mostly positive reviews.Two (minor for most people) draw-backs are 1) that they chip the paintwork and might damage the top of the door slightly, (but probably not noticeably) and 2) that the pull-up you'll do with them won't quite be a conventional pull-up, as having the door closed alters and restricts the type of movements you can perform quite a bit.
I think I'm going to give them a go anyway.
They can be purchased from here;

I am sorry man but they are the worst idea I have ever seen! You are in Ireland yea? Do yourself a favour and just get a chinup bar in argos for a tenner, they work better than the ones in your link and will be much cheaper by the time you spend 20 dollars on them, atleast 15 shipping, import duty and vat!
The benefit of the one I sell is that you are away from the door frame, you can do normal chin ups, hammer chins, wide grip pull ups (the best back building exercise ever) and inversion work and it removes completely from the doorframe and doesn't require screwing or drilling into the doorframe like the argos one.Hello everyone!

Do yourself a favour and just get a chinup bar in argos for a tenner,
I bought that very one a couple of years ago, it was about 15 or 20 euro at the time I think, and it's the best money I ever spent on a piece of exercise equipment.
However I now want something that's portable and, just like the original poster I don't want to have to get out the screw-driver every place I set it up.
A regular chin-up bar probably would work better but as regards price; I've already ordered them and postage to Ireland was $9.99 + the price of $19.99 = $30 or about 20 euro altogether. The item will ship as a small packet and in my experience customs aren't interested until you get up to about a 100 euro value on a parcel including postage.they work better than the ones in your link and will be much cheaper by the time you spend 20 dollars on them, atleast 15 shipping, import duty and vat!
I don't deny that that is a quality piece of equipment, but it's not exactly portable though, and it appears to require about 6 inches of clearance on both sides of the door frame, which is something a lot of people living in flats and apartments (myself included) won't have.The benefit of the one I sell is that you are away from the door frame, you can do normal chin ups, hammer chins, wide grip pull ups (the best back building exercise ever) and inversion work and it removes completely from the doorframe and doesn't require screwing or drilling into the door frame like the argos one.
This is what I have to deal with;
As you can see I have no clearance on either side of the door-frame so a device like the one you are selling would appear to be out of the question for me.

Just the fact that your weight would naturally hang exactly where the door is so you have to drag yourself up a door with pretty much your whole bodyweight on your elbows. Then there is the fact that the whole weight is on the door, it would be fine for a front door but an internal door would break pretty quickly I would think... I got stung for a small pack coming in with dhl, 7 euro vat, 2 euro duty and 12.50 for dhl fee to collect cod!0 -

^ Get one of the ones that screw into the door frame. They don't harm the door frame at all unless you count the holes for the screws as harm.
I have one of these, it's all you need. There are fancier ones with extra bars for different grips but when you have them up it looks like you have the frame of a bicycle bolted to your door.
I also tried the ones that consists of two seperate "hand loops". They hook over the top of the door itself and are held in place just by friction. They weren't a sucess at all, and did mark the top of the door quite noticably.0 -
