Anyone got an all-in-one push-up/pull-up/sit-up bar?

Even though there are pics, I still dont have faith that it would hold me, the door frame will snap, I refuse to believe, I will have to get one though.

 

I completely understand your concerns because like I said it took a leap of faith for me to put my entire body weight on it the first few times. I weigh about 80kg at the moment, it holds me fine.

Before you buy it, make sure it fits the width of your doorway if the one you get isn't adjustable.

 

I purchased one about a month ago.


I really only use it for pull-ups but I love having it since I just leave it up in the doorway of my bathroom. Anytime I have to use the bathroom, knock out some pull-ups and go on my way. You can do that throughout the day or if you got some time, do a short stint of 3-5 sets. It has multiple grips on it so you can target different muscle groups.

I saw someone was asking what kind of grips for pull-ups and there are a lot of variations you can do. You can do the standard over-hand to build you upper back, under-hand will target the biceps. If you use the handles sticking out, I find that burns more through my deltoid and you can get a decent rear deltoid work-out with that. Using your imagination, you can switch up or make variations of the grips with the simple piece of equipment.

My chief complain about it though is that it isn't wide enough like using a real pull-up bar. If you want to thicken up your lats and really make them strong, wider the better is what worked for me.

 

The one I have even says it works as a dip station for tri's but when I tried to use it(and I'm a Lightweight too), there wasn't enough room to do the full extensions.

As for push-ups, I'd imagine its not a huge difference from doing them as you normally would but it does take away the full range of motion and it only targets one head of the chest's tri-head makeup.

Sit-ups I don't think is even possible with the one I have is it certainly wouldn't be able to hold me in place.

*For all you guys worried about ripping the doorway down from when you use it*

I haven't had anyone over 195 lbs doing pull-ups on the same bar but even when I'm using the tool, I feel like its pulling on the doorframe from my own weight. I checked the backside of the frame through and it doesn't feel any of it has moved or shifted out of place with all the use I've been getting out of it. It comes with a warning that limits its users up to 400 lbs but I wonder if that weight was found just when it snaps in half :happy

 

If you're worried about it taking your weight, bang an extra 4-5 nails in the top piece of architrave. Or do a proper job, take the top piece off and screw and rawplug it.
