Best Home Chin-up/Pull-up bar?

[VeeSix]

Does such a bar exist that doesn't require any permanent fixings to the door frame which can safely support ~90KG/187lbs without slippage or breaking the doorframe?

I've had the iron gym pull up bar up in my doorway for a year or so with no problems. I weigh 190lbs. As long as your doorway aint termite fodder it will do.

My coworker is about 215 and it's fine for him. That's about all I can assume for 240. It prolly wouldn't hold up to years of being your only pull up bar, but an occasional one I think it would do. The iron gym is pretty cheap, I bought mine at bed bath and beyond and used a coupon to boot. If you need a hardcore everyday gonna Kip and use wieght bar you may want to look into building a real rig.

Iron Gym is the way to go. It doesn't F up your door, very strong, and easy to remove. I got mine for $20 at Walgreens

Well on the plus side, my house is solid brick built in the 1910s.

I would say fro an occasion use it would be fine. and I mean occasion by a couple times a day. Even if hou have to replace it ecvery 6 months 20 bucks is not bad.

I used a door frame pull up bar for awhile but I eventually upgraded to a mount on one. It's MUCH better and not too expensive, I got mine from Pacillos.
