You should consider substituting another pulling back exercise, such as the (bent over row). If you do that, it shouldn't make a very noticeable difference.

I do have a house with the room. I have a pull up bar. I personally hate pull ups so I don't do them. When it's time for pull ups I just do more push ups instead. I am not an expert but I don't think it would significantly impact results as long as during that time you are still doing something. Also it's not every tape that you have to do pull ups any way. Only like maybe 2 of the DVDs have a pull up section. There's not one DVD that is ONLY pull ups. Every DVD has a variation of things your going to be doing.

If you substitute something in the pull ups place you will still get one heck of a workout. And if you do push ups instead I feel you are basically muscles so not much of a impact on the results.

Unfortunately, no. I didn't pay close enough attention when I bought this, but instead of returning it I rigged up a bar to hand it from. This is definitely not a hang from any kind of a door item.

Our doorway is pretty standard (sorry I don't have a tape measure handy) but we have the bouncer set at the highest position (it can extend quite a bit lower than what we need). Hope this helps!

I mounted mine on a concrete wall so I bought different mounting hardware. I don't rmemember it being a big deal. The pull-up bar is strong and well made and a great value for the money.

You can still open and close the door and leave the bar attached, if the closed door is not flush with the doorway front and back... You can close the door in the doorway you would be thinking of using, and you will see how much room you would be dealing with to attach the ends of the bar to. You only need like just under 2", I think they are anticipating that you'd be using a doorway that's not completely filled by the closed door

I used to be that heavy as well and can relate to questioning if this product can support you. I can tell you that you shouldn't have a problem as long as you follow the p90x routine. In the routine, Tony will suggest using a chair or bucket to support the weight if your having difficulty. You could used that method to lower the load on the pull up bar. Also, try to use metal anchor screws.

The bar fits on the outside of the center frame that the door closes against. As long as you install it on the correct side of this frame (generally the outside of the room that the door leads to), you'll be fine. Just so you know, this means the gravity bar is visible from outside the room so you don't want to install it in an area you like to keep nice for visitors.

I don't see why not. The pressure is above the door frame on the wall at the back, and on the door frame on the front. As long as you can't throw your body onto your door frame and knock it down, simply lifting your weight should be fine

It will be fine. My bedroom has a hollow door and you have to make sure that your door is shut and that your pulling against the frame. In other words, from the outside of the door. It makes your workout so much easier and faster.

Not sure how you would anchor it to your ceiling. It comes with door anchors that may be useful for that. I throw it around a chin-up bar installed in a doorway which kind of mimics lat pull downs. This is an amazingly useful set and the number of excercises you can do with it are pretty limitless.

No, this bar attaches to a pulley weight machine.This is for doorways: Sunny Health & Fitness Door Way Chin Up

I only use the door and don't see where that looses any effectiveness. Honestly I don't know anyone who uses it on a bar although I think there are some great things that could be done using a bar or attaching it even to a tree limb or a bar in a playground.

Craig, as far as attaching the GoFit Straps to a hanging pull up bar, it would take some improvision because the Straps do not come with D rings or clips like other ones out on the market. These GoFit Straps work well between a door and the top door frame, preferably in the direction you would close the door.

Hello, I think you will need to put a hook or something, but will have to put that hook very firm to support your legs weight. I recommend you to use it in a strong door or in any strong bar like the kind when people do Chin-Ups & Pull-Ups, it's easier. I hope I could help you.

There have been no responses to your post, but did you ever find an answer to this question? I have the same problem with large moulding above my doors. I purchased a Gold's Gym version of the bar and it would not fit!

I'll get back to you tomorrow morning.. I use a 6' bar and it makes it with some room to spare so my first impression would be no. I'll give you a more precise answer tomorrow when I get home.

Yes you can - we do. It doesn't matknup the door frame any more than the bar already did. It is light so adds a very minimal amount of weight.
