Ranked #4 in Best Doorway Pull-Up Bars
ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar
1 sourceall derived$35.99as of Oct 17

The ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar trades the Iron Gym's simplicity for grip variety, offering eight cushioned foam grip positions for wide, hammer, close, and neutral pulls plus hanging ab work. Its wider, longer bar is noticeably more comfortable for taller users, it fits doorways from 24 to 39 inches, and it installs without drilling for around $36. Reviewers like the stability and grip options, though it can mark or stain the door frame and a minority report durability concerns.

Strengths
  • — Eight cushioned foam grip positions for varied pull-up angles
  • — Wider, longer bar is more comfortable for taller users
  • — Fits a wide 24-39 inch door-frame range
Watch-outs
  • — Can damage or stain the door frame
  • — A minority of users report the bar breaking under use

Ultimate Body Press Elevated XL Doorway Pull-Up Bar
2 sourcesall derived$82as of Oct 17

The Ultimate Body Press Elevated XL is an over-the-door pull-up bar with upward-curved handles, an adjustable 24 to 36-inch crossbar and a 300 lb rating, and it doubles as a floor brace for push-ups and dips. Wirecutter names it its top pull-up bar: the sturdiest of the doorway bars it tested, with thick grips and raised handles that give taller users more room, plus a 10-year warranty. David's Review Roundup says his has held up well over more than five years of use. It suits tall users and anyone wanting the steadiest no-drill bar; people with little storage space or who want a quick, simple setup should look at something smaller.

Strengths
  • — Wirecutter found it the sturdiest bar it tested, with very little movement
  • — Handles curve upward, giving taller users more room for full pull-ups
  • — Crossbar adjusts from 24 to 36 inches to fit many doorways
Watch-outs
  • — Took Wirecutter about 30 minutes longer to assemble, with a one-diagram manual
  • — Very bulky to store when off the door
  • — Shorter users with tall doorways may need a step stool to reach the top grips

How they stack up

ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar

The grip-variety pick with eight foam grips versus the Iron Gym Total Upper Body's three, and a wider bar that suits taller users better. Its weight rating sits below the Ally Peaks and the Pullup & Dip, and unlike the Pullup & Dip it does not double as a floor dip station.

Ultimate Body Press Elevated XL Doorway Pull-Up Bar

Where the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar is aimed at users under six feet, this bar's raised, upward-curved handles are built for taller people, and it competes with the ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar for that buyer. Like the Ally Peaks Pull-Up Bar it adjusts to the door, here from 24 to 36 inches, but it is a large bar that needs real storage space when taken down.
