1.0 out of 5 stars Sounds great -- but a few observations., October 24, 2008

Sounds great - mount a pullup bar in your standard door frame and make workouts easy. Unfortunately, they didn't tell you that you need to be short in stature to use the thing efficiently. By the time you mount the PP system in a standard door frame, and hang the grab handles on the bar, you're hanging so low that (if you're taller than 5'4) your knees are resting on the ground, making a full arm extension impossible. The screws that mount the brackets into the door frame are dangerously short and install very close to the outside of the door frame. If your door frame was shimmed out during installation (a common practice), the supplied screws might be too short to go into the studs, with potentially disastrous results. For your own safety, you might want to get some screws at least an inch longer from your local hardware store. You also need to consider carefully which door frame you install the brackets to; the PP bar swings out pretty far, and if your door frame opens into a hallway or near anything within four feet, you're going to bump into things while using the PP system. In my house, there are only two doorways that have enough clearance to use the PP effectively, so now I have brackets on the dining room entry - a great conversation starter. If you're using the ab straps, you hang almost as low as you do when using the grab handles, and my ab straps DID NOT come with the metal carabiners shown in the ad pictures, so in order to put the straps on the bar, you have to DISCONNECT the whole bar from the brackets each time, a big PITA! Evidently the carabiners are a bit expensive, so they've deleted them and now show the ab straps in a closeup picture, not showing how they attach to the bar. Unfortunately, they didn't lower the price, though. All-in-all, in my opinion, the Perfect Pullup is an interesting idea, poorly executed

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pullup experience, January 10, 2009

I've recently installed the Perfect Pullup in my doorframe, and here are the observations:
1. I'm 6'2" and when hanging on the grab handles and fully extended, knees DO touch the floor. This only happens, though when you completely relax and allow your shoulders to fully extend. It was easy enough for me to do normal pullups without banging my knees on the floor.
2. Carabiners for ab straps are NOT included in the setup, but are readily available in any Home Depot. I got the ones branded WorkForce HANGALLS Jumbo Carabiner. $2.99 each. Rated at 150 lb. max, so if you're under 300 lb, you're fine.

Bought the Perfect Pullup with ab straps and I must say that it works quite well. I had no problems installing the brackets using the screws provided. I'm just under 200 lbs and the screws are long enough to hold me. I live in an older home with low doorways so I do have to do the pullups from my knees...which isn't a big deal. It's more a product of my low doorways & the fact that I'm 6'2. Some other doorway pullup bars I've tried did not work with my doorways but this one is fine. Once installed, the product is very easy to use. The bar is easily removed from the brackets for storage in between workouts..and they reattach perfectly. Same goes for the ab straps.
I would definitely recommend this product.
