How to Set Up a Chin up Bar:
Setting up a chin-up bar in your home can dramatically improve your upper body strength if you use the bar properly. Doing chin-ups, pull-ups and leg raises strengthens your back, arms, stomach and can even improve thigh strength. Having a home chin-up bar is an advantage when you cannot make it to the gym. Chin-up bars are quite easy to install and usually rather cheap. Putting one up in your home can take as little as two minutes.- Find an appropriate doorway to place your chin-up bar, preferably one made of steel and away from people traffic.
- Unscrew the part of the bar that extends, making sure not to extend it wider than the door frame in which you will place it.
- Place the bar in the door frame four or five inches from the top of the door and extend the rest of it until the rubber stoppers on either side of the bar are pushing against the door frame and holding the bar in place.
- Test the sturdiness of the bar by pulling on it and then hanging from it. If it moves or seems loose, extend the bar further so that it stays in place.
- Begin your workout.
How to Use a Chin Up Bar To Do a Chin Up Exercise:
Chin ups are one of the best exercises that you can do for upper body strength. Doing chin ups on chin up bars forces you to lift your entire body weight with your upper body. This is the reason why chin ups are very effective in building muscle. They help to build muscle in your biceps, shoulders and forearms. Here is how you can properly do a chin up on a chin up bar.- Stand underneath a chin up bar. You can use an actual chin up bar for exercise or any stable bar that will hold your weight. You can even make your own chin up bar using steel bars or wood bars and fasten it to a doorway or your basement ceiling.
- Grab the chin up bar with your palms facing towards you. Your hands should be approximately shoulder-length apart, in a hold that is comfortable to you. Make sure that you hands are not too far apart on the chin up bar.
- Hang you body directly below the chin up bar, straight down. If your chin up bar is not high enough to do this, then bend your legs back at the knees so that you are not touching the ground, but your body is hanging straight down.
- Using your upper body, pull yourself up so that your chin is above the chin up bar. Make sure not to hit your chin on the chin up bar as this can injure you. Try to use a smooth motion as you lift yourself up and make sure not to swing your body.
- Lower yourself back down so that your body is hanging straight down from the chin up bar again. Do not touch your feet to the ground.
- Repeat the exercise, lifting and lowering yourself for as many times as you can. Chin ups are not that easy of an exercise and it may take you some time to work up to more repetitions.

12-16-2010- Other Thoughts: After buying this chin up bar and reading its great reviews I decided to test its strength. I weigh about 165lbs. and the bar held me sturdily without the hardware. It also worked just as well without the hardware for my friend who is about 250lbs. Even when we both hung from it the bar held strong. I wouldn't recomend tandom pull-ups, however, because it put too much stress on the door frame. This is a much nicer product than the everlast bar. Buy with confidence.

02-12-2011- Other Thoughts: Well I read all the reviews about how this guy is this tall and weighs this much and it still holds, but I am 6'4 and weigh 200lbs. and even though I know I should have used the support brackets I didn't. It's still holding, no problems, and if I ever lose my car jack I think this could substitute.

11-17-2010- Other Thoughts: I agree with all the positive reviews of this product, and agree with the people that say you really should use the mounting hardware and that it only takes a few minutes to put up. However, the screws that came with the mounting bracket are very soft, and the head of the first one I tried to drive in just turned to iron filings, so I grabbed 6 decent wood screws and put them in. As near as I can tell, the cheap hardware is the only real corner they cut.

01-07-2011- Other Thoughts: I put up this chin up bar with the brackets. Installation was extremely easy. The cushioned handles are a nice touch. The only issue I have with it is that it twirls a bit in the bracket. That probably can be fixed with setting the adjustment a bit tighter, but it seems to be as tight as I can get it adjusted by hand. That being said, the bar works well and I would recommend it.

01-19-2011- Other Thoughts: Bar finish (chrome) and grips are good. Bracket finish not so good, detracts slightly from appearance. Interface between rubber (or whatever) ends of bar and screw heads inside brackets is a little funky. But overall it's great, perfect for a few in and out of the w.c.
