Adjustable Pull-Up Bar

A free-standing pull-up station rather than a doorway bar, which means it needs no fixings, leaves no marks, and does not depend on the width or the strength of a door frame. The A-frame legs splay front and back to resist the swing that a pull-up puts into a frame.

Both uprights adjust through a punched ladder of holes secured by pin and chain, so the bar height is set to the user and to the ceiling. The top bar is wrapped in black with red foam grips at each end, giving a wide grip for pull-ups and a narrower one closer in. A second pair of padded bars sits lower on the frame for dips, knee raises and inverted rows.

The whole thing folds down flat against itself for storage behind a door or under a bed, and unfolds back to position without tools. Set both uprights to the same hole and confirm both pins are fully home before loading. Use on a firm, level floor with clear space overhead.
