So I’ve been meaning for a long time to pick up a pull up bar. I’ve enjoyed doing pull ups, but there really wasn’t anything around that would be able to hold my weight while I did the pull ups.<\/p>\n

I decided to pick up something at Amazon.com: GoFit Chin-Up Bar<\/a>. For $15 (+ free shipping since I have Prime), it sounded like a decent deal. Reviews of the item are pretty good too.<\/p>\n

I got the Pull Up bar today and installed it over the corridor that connects my kitchen to my dining room:
\n\"pull<\/a>\"pull<\/a><\/p>\n

At first I had not planned to used the brackets, which you screw onto the wall to keep the bar from slipping. However, after reading this review:<\/p>\n

Like all of the other people here, I bought this bar and it has performed magnificently. $15 is ridiculously cheap for the high build quality of this item, but **BEWARE**.<\/p>\n

******* DO NOT USE THIS ITEM WITHOUT THE BRACKETS ******, no matter how strong you think it is.<\/p>\n

I am approximately 165lbs teenager and was using the bar sporadically throughout the day just for fun. Again, I hung this WITHOUT the brackets, which I learned to regret.
\nOne time when I was pulling myself up, the bar fell broke off and fell, leading me to land party on my back and neck.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I immediately got back up like nothing happened, but the next day my back and neck are experiencing shrieking pain.<\/p>\n

The use of brackets is not only recommended, but required. It takes only a few minutes!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I decided it was in my best interest to install the brackets before using. It sounded painful to have the bar slip while doing pull ups.<\/p>\n

After installing, I was excited to try it out. However, I was shocked to find myself even struggling to do 1. I was able to do 5 easily just a few years ago. Guess I’ll be practicing more on it. Chin ups on the other hand, I was able to do 3 easily. Must be the push ups I’ve been doing and it’s been strengthening my biceps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
