P90X pull up bar

[FAMOUSX1]

So I ordered a pull up and and it came with some brackets to install above the door. I thought the bar was supposed to support itself? Anyone else have this? Do you use it without the brackets?

Same here.

If you weigh more than a little girl, your going to have to install the brackets, or throw a efw more nails into the moulding. Personally i just hammered the brackets into the wall with picture nails, and I have done hundreds of pull-ups since w/o a problem... I think the bar itself will break before the brackets come out.

Thanks for the info, I used it for the first time today without the brackets, im not gonna chance it next time and will install the brackets!
