Pull-up bar recommendations

breadmonkey

Looking for some advice on a pull-up bar. I'm starting from scratch with the goal of improving my grip strength as well as the strength and mobility in my back, chest and shoulders.

My understanding is that I should have something that will allow me to progress to a wide grip. That precludes the design where a bar is wedged between the door frame.

I'm looking at something like this:https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001EJMS6K/ref=as_li_tl?provider=amazon&ascsubtag=00jvxI0wwx1MTlt6wLG76zS&linkCode=g12&creativeASIN=B001EJMS6K&tag=offerscom0f-20

I also like this design as it has other bars that can be used for push-ups. (I have a mobility problem with extension of my right wrist which is aggravated by the push-up motion). It also doesn't require anything to be drilled into the wall or doorframe which appeals to me as I'm living in a rented apartment.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I've a similar bar bought in Lidl, have been using it regularly for the past 3 years without problems.

No drilling required hooks in around the door frame.

the one you linked does not really allow for a much wider grip than the ones that are wedged. Your hands do not go further than the door frame.




the one below is another style which has additional bars beyond the doorway. This is meant to be more stable too due to the mechanics of the design.



some go up high which would be good if you wanted to use gymnastic rings or rope or towels on it.


this has removable dip bars too.
