P90X - What chin up bar do you use?

GreenLifeGirl

I am starting P90X in January and am about to order the chin up bar. Do you have any recommendation or advice on which is best or what you have used? Also, have you had any problem with it damaging your doorways?

These are the three highest rated on Amazon...

ProSource Heavy-Duty Easy Gym Doorway Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar

Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar

Maximum Fitness Gear All-In-One Doorway Chin-Up Bar

I use the "Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar Extreme Edition" and it does the job.

First need to measure your door, then look. I have the Gold's gym one and also the one you can order with the P90x but prefer the gold's gym.

We use the iron gym. However I still can't do a real chin up, so I use the chair like he shows how to modify in the DVD or I use resistance bands and hook them over the bar.

Keep working on them using the chair as little as possible, and you'll be able to in no time!
