trying to find more info on this item. It's a wall mounted
chinning bar. There is some basic information on it
but nothing else is available.
http://www.bodysolid.com/Item.aspx?ItemID=190

If anyone has it please let me know how easily you
were able to mount it in the doorway. How comfortable
is the grip. Any recommendations on other chinning bars?
I definatelly need one where I have some distance from
the door. The ones that mount _IN_ the doorframe just don't
give me enough room to do the pull ups comfortably.

thank you very much.

Look closely. The grip area is narrower than the doorway. Therefore,
the breadth of your handgrip wouldn't be any better, although you
might have a little more room for your elbows to move outward with a
pronated grip.

READ closely.

Thirty-eight inches is hella wide.

To the OP: Spring for a wall-mounted job. Where do you work? Get one
installed there if you don't have the wall space or a garage at home.

Try to find a wider one that's out from the wall more.
You'd probably want to open the door there (not necess. a prob).

There are a few Chin up bars on amazon.com.

This company has wall and joist mounted bars.

Sure if you have a door wide enough for that.
