That one doesn't appear to extend above the doorway...? It might have to be custom made...?

You might be better off getting one that you can mount to the studs. They are safer and sturdier.

If you have to go with the above door mount, this is the best I've seen: http://cgi.ebay.com/PULL-CHIN-UP-BAR...742.m153.l1262

Hi,

I've been using UD-5 from pullupbar.com. They also have a wider version called UD-6. This thing is pretty good to get you started, but if you're looking for a more solid solution, a permanent mount or a separate standing unit or rack would be better. Don't get me wrong, UD-5 is good, but you need a solid door frame, and even then the thing will leave marks on the frames - but that's easily paintable. Also, after 6 months the foam of the handles started breaking, not sure how this compares to other ones on the market, but considering it's pretty expensive I'd expect it to last longer than it has been. Now that I have a rack, I feel much more comfortable than using the door frame, especialy if one day I start adding weight to my pullups (hopefully soon enough) ;-)

I dont like the idea of door mounted chin up bars. There must be an alternative? even if you dont have much space.

Yep, here's a nice wall-mounted bar:



Even a wall mounted dip station:


Ceiling Joice mounted bar ... which is the one I have:


Some pretty cool options available.

Where can the bottom one be found that would work great in my basement!

This is the eBay seller that I bought mine from. I don't see any of the Hammer Pulls listed in his auctions right now, but you can ask if he'll be listing any soon. Weighted Hammer Pulls are my favorite!
