Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a place i could get a chinup bar that fits in a door frame BUT DOES NOT require drilling or screwing anything into the door frame itself.

Still living at home and i am quite sure they would not be pleased with holes in their door frame.

Any help appreciated.

Go to any GNC, they'll have a chin up bar. I got a 225 lbs. guy to test it out and it worked without the bar slipping. It made the whole wall shake though.

awesome. I peak at about 167... so it should be plenty good.

I am looking for one as well. A co-worker just picked one up at Fitness Depot. He claims it was the last one though.

I will be calling Sprt Chek etc.

The Chin-up bar from Beachbody.com is pretty sweet also. It can be removed in a few seconds from the door frame.

try the one in market mall. they dont have the same one as the website which is weird... the edges are hexagonal. the bracket doesnt fit my door but the circle edge does. gonna be looking for that one.

i looked around everywhere.. these chin up bars sell out quickly. if anyone sees good ones, give a shout out. ill keep posted.

This is from the P90 thread. And the one I am going to order, cause I will be starting p90 again pretty soon. This time won't be going to the gym, so gonna get the equipment for home.

The one I posted can hold about 300lbs, so you should be fine. I am around there as well, just a little more than 200.
