Iron Age Doorway Pull Up Bar
This bar solves the primary flaw of doorway bars by using a patented 'hook' design that sits higher than the door frame, allowing for full-height pull-ups even on standard doors. It uses high-density carbon steel and requires zero assembly.
Quality & Materials
Uses thickened carbon steel tubing with a 1.5mm wall thickness and professional-grade NBR foam grips.
Evidence & Testing
Weight tested up to 440 lbs; design minimizes leverage-based stress on the door frame compared to cantilever designs.
Brand Transparency
Clear specifications on door width (27.56" - 36.22") and depth requirements provided upfront.
Value Assessment
Exceptional value for renters who cannot drill into walls but want a stable, high-clearance bar.
Why Not Alternatives?
Traditional 'telescoping' doorway bars can slip and damage frames, while standard multi-grip bars sit too low. Iron Age's design protects the door trim by distributing weight against the wall rather than the molding.
