Hey all! I’d love some reviews of your home chin-up/pull-up bars! I’m looking for one because I’m getting really frustrated with not being able to do them, so I want to be able to practice outside of the gym. I do need one that I don’t have to screw in – one that hangs in the doorway perhaps? We are putting our condo on the market, so one that will do as little damage as possible to the walls or door frame is great! And I’m on the heavy side so it needs to hold me without bringing the house down, lol.
Thanks!

    You don't look like you are on the heavy side but I do have two and this is my second house using them in. I bought them at Bed, Bath and Beyond but I have seen them at Marshall's and TJ Maxx and Amazon. This is the one I have. I have not had any damage. I do put a little thin pad, foam like, where the pads hit but that is probably paranoia on my part.

    Thanks! Do you know the brand or anything? The few in shops around us all have screws and anchors and I don't want to put any holes in the walls or doorframes, then the two I looked at on Amazon (before getting overwhelmed with thousands of options) both had weight limits of 150 pounds, which I am over that!
