Iron Gym vs P90X chin up bar

I would say this was my first mistake when doing P90X.  I knew I needed a doorway chin up bar, but I wanted to go the cheap route.  I knew the Iron Gym chin up bar was at walgreens and was $20, so the day P90X arrived, I went to walgreens and bought it.  It was only $20.

I got it home and put it together.  It goes together just fine.  I actually didnt even realize that I should have done differently into a little ways into it.

The Iron Gym pull chin up bar works.  If you want to go that route, go for it.

The Beachbody P90X pull chin up bar is a doorway chin up bar, just the same as the Iron Gym. They will both good fitness chin up bars, however, the 90x pull chin up bar has more hand positions.  Still though, that is not the main reason I recommend the 90x pull chin up bar.

This is the Iron Gym pull chin up bar.  The top part that you see goes on the top frame of the back side of the door you put it up on.  The horizontal bar that you see presses in on the door from the side you are using it, meaning this… Even though it looks like you can get a wide grip pull up, you can only get 1/2 of your hand on the grip, because the other part of the grip is pushed up against the door.

Now this is the Beachbody P90X pull chin up bar. In my opinion, this is by far the better doorway chin up bar.  As you can see, it has the same top bar, there is not a lot of difference there.  Look at the horizontal bar though.  The part that goes out againstthe door is set aside as such.  It offers a much better hand position and wide grip, and you dont have to worry about getting your hand crushed against the door (it happens with the Iron Gym)
