I'm a big heavy guy. like 300+ and I wanted to start this p90x. The bar specs say it'll support me but will the door frame?

That might all depend on the type of wood it's made out of; that's all I can really say.

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.

I use 4 of these for p90x workouts. Heavy equipment is no problem for these. They are great.

Unless you are squatting 100lbs and less, this bar would not be the one I would get if any squatting above 100lbs is your aim. I would only squat lightweight with this (my wife) and me (for warming up and just stretching), so I just clean it off the floor. It is a nice bar for curling and pressing but I think I am going to just go ahead and buy the Olympic bar , so I can only recommend to buy the Olympic full bar and especially if you are buying a rack. I am not sure if that answers your question but my opinion.

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.

I am currently squating with 315 and it feels solid. I contacted York and they don't think that you should put over 315lb on the safety bars, but I think it would hold more if you needed to drop the load. I live in a condo and highly recommend this to anyone with limited space.

I have a 7ft. 2" olympic bar and it works great. I have 315 lbs. with it also.

Absolutely! My rails are being used by a person weighing over 300 pounds with no problem at all. The most important question is how strong and solid are your bed frame and the slats. If your frame is designed to support an adult (not just a youth or teen), you should be fine. Upgrading the slats also adds strength and stability. We use six 1"x6" red oak slats cut to a width that fits snugly between the rails to minimize shifting with body movement. The bed frame will fail long before the rails would.

I weigh 265 and it easily accommodates me. I would guess that you will be fine!

My wife and I use the bar for bench press and squats and it works fine. We are both 60+ and don't load the bar very heavy. The bar is very solid.

the only time I put that much weight on the bar was on the rack ..I loaded it and let it sit for a little while and then unloaded it .... 600 pounds is a lot of weight ... If you are actually capable of squatting or dead lifting that much to be safe you might want to go with a stronger bar .....This is a really good bar for your average person and will do really well for most, except for super strong people

It may leave a slight impression on the inside wall above the door. But the molding and door frame should support it as long as you don't jump on the bar.

Yes, it would work for you. You would not need to use the extra bar set since your door is narrow.

Absolutely, but need a secure place to anchor it. I did not find a door to be stable enough. I use a Smith Machine that also stores weight plates as a solid base. Suspension training is wonderful. I think you will enjoy it.

I think you will need a 100" bar. You need double the width of your door if you want it to open completely and then another 4" on each end for the mounting hardware. You might want to explore using 2 sets and 2 smaller doors that open in the middle. There were some questions/answers from someone else about this

It should no problem. Just be careful when getting up or laying down to not put your hand in the center and put all your weight on it. Use the edge of the frame if at all possible. I weigh about 255 and only broke one of the slats by doing that.

I'm not exactly sure, but I can tell you that I have a different pull up bar - not a P90X one and it works great.

If this rack truly has a "250 lb. load capacity," then they should show us a picture of it supporting five 45-lb. barbell plates. This is only 225 lbs. and should pose no problem for a "commercial grade" clothing rack with a "250 lb. load capacity." I seriously doubt that a rack whose top and lower bars come in two pieces can support a fraction of that rate without bending, bowing or collapsing.
