I weigh 165 at the moment. I also don't hang much on the curved handles.\r\n\r\n2) Yes, so there is a clear side that you hang from to do pullups. The instructions should also tell you this and you should be able to see how the leverage works to hold it in position.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you plan to pull down and back with rows, you should be on the OPPOSITE side because of the leverage.\r\n\r\nIf you're doing pushups, stay on the same side you do pullups because you have a tendacy to push forward and crossover the threshold of the door.\r\n\r\nJust check and make sure the bar \"hook\" is always locked on top  of the doorframe....and don't ever push up on the bar while working out ...you'll lose it like I did. Its all held together by gravity and friction.\r\n\r\nI also use this to practice front lever progressions.....I'm sure I'll break it or fall again someday.","subreddit_name":"bodyweightfitness","author":"EstablishmentDry6009"},{"body":"There is one at my parents house that has been there for about 30 years.  Dunno if anyone uses it anymore :)  At least you won't have far to fall :)  We have one of these from P90x that has been in a doorway for about 10 years (so the door hasn't closed in that time unless we took it down): https://www.amazon.com/Prosource-Multi-Grip-Chin-Up-Pull-Up-Doorway/dp/B002YQUP7Q/","subreddit_name":"homegym","author":"QuietDelight1"},{"body":"I have a [doorway pullup bar](https://www.amazon.ca/ProSource-Multi-Grip-Chin-Up-Pull-Up-Doorway/dp/B002YQUP7Q/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3880PW2Z92SC4\u0026amp;keywords=doorway+pullup+bar\u0026amp;qid=1641172985\u0026amp;sprefix=doorway+pullup+bar%2Caps%2C132\u0026amp;sr=8-8), and rings. There is padding to protect the doorway but I would add a little more so you don't cause any damage. I loop the rings over when I want to use them. It works great. The only challenge is the range of motion. Sometimes I need to use more of an incline just to avoid walls, doors, etc.","subreddit_name":"bodyweightfitness","author":"MyBrainReallyHurts"},{"body":"I wish I had a better answer other than reputation, I slowly increased over the course of months and months. 1-2 became 4, that became 6-7, eventually 10 was a pretty good number I would aim for. I don't have much time for working out (two kids under 4) so usually am trying to push myself to new goals whenever I can, so as soon as my arms weren't shaking after 10 I was shooting for 15.\r\n\r\nOne other thing I have been doing recently is holding myself for 30 seconds after doing the pull up reps -- so doing 20 pull ups, then hang with my chin level to the bar for 30 seconds. Again, I'm no medical expert or physical trainer but I feel like its a small tweak to my workout that has made an impact.\r\n\r\nHere's the bar that I bought, I got it in November 2020 and it's still working great. I duct taped some old shirts around the handles like some of the comments suggested when I first got it and so far I've had no marks or issues on my door frame at all, so it's been about perfect for me.\r\n\r\nProsourceFit Multi-Use Doorway Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar, Portable \u0026amp; Easy Storage – Fitness Trainer for Home Gym Exercise https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YQUP7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZTBTD3G7C9C2A95AVDAA?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1","subreddit_name":"intermittentfasting","author":"the_ciamp"},{"body":"Thanks, here is the one I got.

Why don’t you get one that you can put in a doorway, like off of amazon for $30? The only thing to be careful of is to never do explosive movement or it’ll come off the frame. I think if you put this in a doorway and do one chin-up every time you enter or leave the room, you’ll make quick progress. https://www.amazon.com/Prosource-Multi-Grip-Chin-Up-Pull-Up-Doorway/dp/B002YQUP7Q","subreddit_name":"leangains","author":"thisisnotaflubbel"},{"body":"I'm not sure of the brand, but I got it at a sporting goods store.
