This is a robust and simple pull-up bar that gives you additional position options because of the add-ons shown in the picture. Unlike other models, this gives you more options without the added bulk and assembly hassles.
However, attachment is probably more tedious because it requires you to mount holds for the bar at the sides of the door, using brackets - each secured with 5 screws. At first, I thought 5 screws per bracket was overkill but it really gives a more secure and tight fit compared to similar models that are of the "twist-to-secure" variety.
Once installed, the brackets seem to "lock" the bar in position and it won't twist or even move like other bars once you use it. It almost feels as if you bolted the bar directly on the door!
Highly recommended!

GoFit Dual Mount Adjustible Chin-up Bar - Red
These hand weights are perfect although I will say that they are a bit bulky and will not stay upright on your hand because the elastic is so flexible but they grip well and are perfect for strenthening your forearms/arms.
I ordered this beaded jumprope with removable weights and recieved a black speed rope that looks and is used for a different function all together. I even tried having them send the rope out again and they sent the same wrong jumprope again and I eventually had to order my jumprope from some else that wasnt quite what I was going for. Plus the speed-rope they sent me cracked a few weeks after I got it and broke right off. I hate to do this but this was the most unsatisfactory purchase that I have ever made on the internet in the last 10 years that I have been shopping online.
I purchased this item because it came highly recommended in many PT and fitness articles. Also, I had tried, what I thot, was a similar wobble board at PT. What a surprise at how hard it is! The minute ball underneath for balancing makes even easy beginning is a real challenge. No doubt that I'll benefit if I can just 'hang in there' til I show some progess. The DVD which came with it, apparently has been fixed. It's very straight forward, no non-sense marine style exercises. Wish they would show people over 50 using and succeeding at this. Would recommend a much more forgiving balance/wobble board for beginners..
