 You HAVE to do Pull-Ups if you want to be strong, sexy, and stable November 25, 2008
Pull-Ups are a MUST to a strong, sexy, and stable body. They are the best exercises for your upper body strength, especially your back, lats, and biceps.
There are so many variations of pull-ups you can do, from chin ups to pull-ups, from narrow grip to wide grip, and from middle to side.
If you live near a park, just use those natural hanging surfaces to do your pull-ups. If you don't have access to anything sturdy that you can hang onto, then invest in a pull-up bar.
Go to a fitness store and test out the different brands of pull-ups. See which one works for you, and buy that one.
If you don't feel the burn after 10 repetitions, you are doing the exercise wrong. In all exercises, it is the eccentric portion of the exercise that builds muscle. Do the exercise in a smooth, controlled fashion with a 3 concentric and 6 eccentric count. Squeeze at the peak of the motion to get that extra pump.
As in all exercises, make sure to keep your wrists straight and check your posture with these seven vital points: feet hips-width apart and pointed straight ahead; knees slightly bent; pelvis at perfect middle, as if you are sitting at a bar stool; stomach tight, but not flexed; chest straight and aligned on top of ribs; shoulders parallel to ribs; and neck straight on top of body.
Works Great November 2, 2008

Bar does not extend. Too short to fit in any of my doorways. DO NOT BUY.
For 20 bucks, can't beat it! October 26, 2008
I've had the bar up for about 2 months and its holding up pretty well. Installing the brackets was easy and simple. My only cons about the bar is that the hand grips start degrading with use so you might want to use gloves after a while. Also it can be difficult sometimes to take the bar out of the wall brackets, but besides that great buy.
Defective October 24, 2008
I basically payed for a metal bar. The product was defective, having only on piece of metal. This meant that it did not telescope and only stayed one size, about as wide as me. It was too small to fit in any doorframe, since the size was not adjustable.
Do not get this product.
I got a bar from Sport's Authority and it works fine. And if it breaks, I can always take it back unlike this bar.
