FlyBar 2006 ChinUpSitUp bar

Very good quality and the seller shipped it really quickly to my house.

It installed (with a power scewdriver) in about three minutes. It's rock solid. My son uses it constantly. His bedroom door closes easily. I installed it an inch or two higher than the recommended height because I'm 6'3" and didn't want to hear regular "a man walks into a bar" jokes from my kids. Didn't affect anything - works great.

This Chin-Up/Sit-up Bar works great. I've had it for a week now and it's easier than lifting weights. I keep it mounted to my closet door and do a handful of chin-ups everytime I stand up to walk around my room. I weigh 240 lbs. and it shows no signs of weakness. I'd recommend this for anyone who is too lazy to pick up weights, but still wants to do strength training for the chest and arms.

When I removed the chin-up bar from the package, I was impressed with the quality of the manufacture. It was easy to install, and after I installed it, and used it the first time, I was pretty pleased. However, as was noted in another review, each time I used it, I had to retighten it to prevent the bar from rotating when I was using it. Retightening is done by rotating one end relative to the other, which causes the bar to lengthen and press the padded ends more firmly into the mounting sockets. After several times of doing this, I realized that the bar was getting loose because pressure from the chin-up bar was causing my doorframe to expand. The casing (trim around the doorframe) is separating at the corners, and the frame itself is widening where the chin-up bar is installed. I think that any design with round ends that is kept from rotating merely by pressure against the door frame would be subject to the same problem. I have noticed other designs that have square-sided end... Read more

Easy to install - This took less than 5 minutes to put in and put to use. Comfortable to use - This is a sturdy bar and doesn't rotate during use like some of the others reviewed on this site. Some slight negatives - The hand grips are a little difficult to adjust (but they probably should be). You occasionally need to hand-tighten the bar between uses.
