You'll be hard pressed to find exercises that are better for muscle growth than the push-up and the chin-up. Mastering both will result in stronger and more toned chest, back, arms, shoulders, and core. This bar can be placed at the bottom or top of door frames so you can switch between back, chest, and abdominal workouts. The bar adjusts to fit doors from 26 inches to 36 inches wide. Adjustable hand grips ensure you can comfortably do any exercise, while the thickest gauge steel of any chin-up bar on the market (tested to hold up to 400 lbs.) will give you the confidence that the bar won't fail you.
Even the most focused and dedicated people have trouble getting to the gym all the time. Whether it's adverse weather conditions, business travel, or just general busyness that's keeping you out of the gym, Altus Athletics home gym equipment is the perfect solution for the space and time constraints that hold most of us back. Carried in stores like The Sports Authority and Olympia Sports, Altus products are known for their quality and affordability. Each one of Tastefully Driven's owners uses Altus products as part of their health and fitness routine.
Chin up, pull up bar, push up bar and sit up bar it's all the same, it's one product. This is a great home fitness product for all the exercises you can do with it. Being able to adjust the bar either at the top or bottom of the doorway gives you an assortment of exercises. The bar has an adjustable width that fits different sized doorways, along with a solid build makes this a great candidate for anyone looking for a quality, versatile home fitness equipment. I can do a variety of exercises like dips, pull ups, push ups, sit ups and more, hitting the upper body and abdominal muscle groups. This pull up bar is sturdy and removable which is the most important to me. Now it's not screwed in for good and always in the doorway. Lastly I trust the stability of it as long as I trust the doorway I've installed it in.

I'll have to admit, once this thing is installed (make sure you have a power screw driver) it is awesome. We set it up in our warehouse to film the video. It's extremely sturdy and could easily hold 200 lbs + in our not-so-strong doorway.
I have a different pullup bar that I purchased years ago by another brand. This one is similar, except for two things: the grips and the second set of clips to put the bar in. The grips are non-slip no matter how hard you twist, which is huge to me because I hate that slippery-metal feel. The second set of clips is seemingly minor, but enables you to have the chinup bar at two levels so you can also put it down by the floor for pushups & situps.
