3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, June 19, 2008

This review is from: Valeo Chin-Up Bar (Sports)

I'll agree with the other reviewers that this thing is sturdy. I weigh 220 and it holds me with ease. I'll also agree that the placing of the hand grips is bad. The bar extends in one direction, so you end up with a hand grip that is butted right up against the door frame. Yes, you can move the grips. But, 1.) it's a pain, and 2.) your grip will become uneven because the extension pole is smaller in diameter than the stationary pole.

But, for the $$$, it works fine for me. I am planning on putting up a more permanent pullup bar (joist mounted) in my basement, so I won't have to deal with the grip thing much longer.
