@stonefist911 look on ebay there cheaper there you don’t have to get the exact same one as this guy just get one that attatches to your door
@stonefist911 Any way that you can find to do pull ups will work with P90X. You will be doing a few different grips on the bar, but just get one wide enough to do wide grip pull ups at least.
Do I have to buy a P90X bar for P90X, or can I buy a cheaper pull up bar
Good video.
@SelejX On the p90x videos, you will see the workouts being done 3 different ways. One guy will not use a chin up bar, but show you how to do the workouts with a band. You should get p90x, it will change your life.
@shah80145 total thickness of door and frame should be 4-7″. the frame itself should be more than a 1/4″. If you have a thinner frame or no frame at all, use the J-hooks that come with the bar.
I have the same issue as the top of my door frame goes into the ceiling. There is no extra wall, just frame then ceiling. Does that mean I’m sol and have to find an alternative to being able to do pull pus. If so, does that mean P90X won’t be useful to me as I won’t be able to partake in that part of the workout?
I’m about to start P90X. Guess I have to wait a few weeks to start using the chin up bar. I’m a little over 300 lbs. Another motivation point
@Chino956 No, I have not had any issues. If you are worried about how soft your doorframe is, you can use a folded piece of cloth to protect it.
does it mess up your door in anyway?
my doorway(closet) is small and only 1 side of the lil curved parts rests on the door frame so it makes and indention on the door frame
i weight 280
and i do the assisted pull-ups
so really its not 280lbs pulling on the bar
(just in case my fellow fatties are scared to buy it)
ohh yea u forgot too mention that u can do dips with the bar
and i slide mine under the bed to were the curves are underneath the bed frame
and then i do sit ups (keeps ur feet down)
Also, yes I live in Canada (GTA)
I ordered mine, plus a yoga mat and a push-up stands (handles) on Sunday.
They shipped it on Monday and I received it today (Wednesday).
And shipping was only $12
I have a question for anyone that lives in canada. If you ordered the p90x chin up bar how long was the shipping to anywhere in canada?
how thick does the wood (door frame) have to be in inches?
i have the same problem
Check out my video titled “Re: Chin Up Bar Questions”
Pretty much all of my doorways are in the corner of a room. I’m worried about this because I’m afraid the outer ends of the bar will bump against the perpendicular wall and I won’t be able to use it.
ok cool, thanks for telling me, no i dont have another door that has a frame for it to rest on. Im in university halls, and i think the architect was on crack when designing it lol
thanks
Yes, this is a problem because the bar needs to rest on the top side of the door frame. Do you have another door that you can use?
after the top of my door frame, i have no wall. It just goes door frame, then ceiling, would that be a problem?
hope i explained that well
Use them if you think that your door is to weak or your trim is to thin. Be sure to screw them into a stud or they will fall right out.
What do youreckon about the “J” bracket mounting?
Great video mate, I’m going to order one vert soon
