Pull up bar recommendation

sheriff2

Hi all,

I have looked through previous threads but was wondering had anyone purchased a screwless pull up bar recently and would they recommend it. I had planned on buying one that loops over the door frame but then due to my Google searches I'm seeing ads for the telescopic
type. Any suggestions

I got this one Elverys a while ago and find it good. You attach it to a door frame no screws needed.

Thanks for the response, I seen that one but it was sold out. I ended up getting an Adidas one from Lifestyle. Had one picked on Amazon but Amazon now has 2 week lead time plus import duties

Is there any advantage between the telescopic and the door frame pull up bars? Looking at these two:

I don't think I could trust the telescopic one, the grips look very small. There are telescopic bars with much bigger grips than that but they are 70e to 100e on amazon

Perfect pull up bar. It's got this rectangular mounting that has not screwed my door frame as much as some of the others.

They have a few models but check the reviews people tend to be happy with it, amazon's shipping it with a 5-7 day delivery

I have both and the one that hooks around the door frame is definitely better and feela more sturdy, just be sure to put some cardboard over your door frame to avoid marks and you're all set.
