Hello all
Can anybody recommend me a good doorway chin up bar for heavy weighted chin ups?
This is the chin up bar I have at the moment: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Golds-Gym-Te...4161320&sr=8-1
I was doing weighted chin ups today I heard very ominous sounding cracking noises coming from my door frame, and also the paint is all cracked around it (the max weight of the bar I have is supposed to be 100kg)
Thanks for any help

Power towers that are decent will be around $300 too
Maybe you can find some place to hang rings?-!!!---!!!- No Excuses Homemade Equipment Crew #24 -!!!---!!!-

I use this one, I got the "Iron Gym" a few years ago and it's still going strong. I only weigh about 150lbs but when I was at my strongest I had an additional 45lbs in plates so the Iron Gym comfortably held 195lbs.
Currently, I'm working up again at 15lbs of plates in a backpack.
Door frame undamaged though black marks are where the foam rests on the frame. I've since put wax paper at the foam rests which stopped additional markings.

That sort of bar looks promising. Something like this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klarfit-KS2W...4264761&sr=1-5
Can it just be bolted to a regular indoor wall and hold that much weight? Thanks for the help.

Here's the photo:
This could work depending upon the spacing of the vertical supports and the construction of your doorway. You will want to locate the studs above the door frame and make sure that their spacing is the same as that as the vertical supports on the pull up bar.
If they're not, you can mount it to piece of plywood and then drill holes at appropriate points in the plywood for mounting above your door. I did this for a couple of climber's hang boards that I also use for pull ups. Here is a photo. Note the position of the various lag screws.
