Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar (no screws required)
- Multiple grip positions
- Holds up to 300 pounds
- Portable “no screw” installation for doorways
- Designed for doorways 24 to 32 inches wide
- Provides multiple upper body and core workouts
Perfect for push-ups, pull-ups, dips, crunches and chin-ups. 3 different cushioned grip positions support men and women of all sizes and weights.

(Consistently the bestselling pull-up bar on Amazon.)
Amazon customer satisfaction rating – 4.1 / 5.0 stars (more than 1,000 perfect 5.0 ratings)
Big Mike’s Fitness Deluxe Doorway Pull-Up Bar (screw-in required)
- Holds up to 300 pounds
- Permanent pull-up solution
- Fits doorways up to 36 inches wide
- Screw-in brackets guarantee safe performance
- Durable chrome plated steel bar with cushioned hand grips
This is the perfect single bar pull-up solution for common doorways and those wider than standard size (up to 36 inches). Comfortable foam hand grips and durable chrome plated construction mean years of use. Bar can be removed when not in use, but screw-in mounting brackets stay in place. Because of the single bar model, production cost is low, making for a very attractive price tag. (Some previous purchasers have reported using the Big Mike’s Fitness Deluxe Doorway Pull-Up Bar without installing the screw-in brackets, but this is not recommended by the manufacturer.)

- 2 options fit doorways 24 to 37 inches wide
- Optional wall brackets are included, but not required
This is one of the more versatile pull-up bars on the market.

This means you can create a permanent solution or benefit from the portability that this bar offers. The Yes4All Deluxe Chin Up Bar comes in 2 sizes – the 28 to 33 inch door model and the larger 30 to 37 inch choice. You can also purchase the bar with chin-up assist kit or the bar only. If your door trim is less than 1/4 inch thick, the permanent screw in mounting bracket hardware is recommended for safe use. This is one of the heaviest (10 pounds, 4.5 kg) and most durable high grade steel pull-up bars available.
