Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-06 Summary: So far, so good! ... 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 ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-11 Summary: Perfect pullup experience ... 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. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-19 Summary: Best results of any method of exercise I've used ... I'm eating as if I was a wild animal (unprocessed, natural foods all day. Read: no high fructose corn syrup), I'm getting lots of sleep, I eat 80% vegetable protein and 20% animal, no supplements and I use this combo. Using a gnarly cordless drill, an 1/8" drill bit, and a #2 phillips bit, I had this up in five minutes (I'm in a carpentry related field so it might take you six). Booyah, this thing rocks. Major abs from the ab straps: do not allow yourself to swing! Counteract and you'll feel the results for two days, ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-26 Summary: Works as expected ... The pull up bar works very well. It's a bit tricky to install as the two brackets need to be at the exact same height off the ground for the bar to be straight, but if you take your time and use a tape measure, you'll be fine. My friends and I have been using it every day for weeks and it shows no signs of wearing. The grips can be moved with minimal trouble if you turn them while pulling. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-03 Summary: Fine pull up bar ... the bar is great. Only problem is the screws they give you to install are kind of crappy and the heads strip easily. Either install them very carefully or plan to use your own screws. The bar itself works fine. Only issue is that the hand grips make your hands smell. No biggy. I would buy it again. ...more
