just bought a pullup bar that you install on your door frame but the instructions are pretty crappy. I have no indication on where i should install the brackets. How much clearance should i have between the bar and the top of the door frame?
thanks

2.5 inches from the top of the brackets to the height of the clearance of your doorway should (hopefully) be enough so that you can drop the bar in without it getting stuck.

Dude, they make ones that you can take down and install over and over again in any doorway. Im lookin at one someone gave me right now. It used a board to hook up above the doorway on one side then on the opposite side the actual bar itself anchors against the frame. So you have to lift up to take it off but it wont fall cause all of your weight is pressing down.

I've heard horror stories of those ones breaking the top of the frame or slipping off though. That and I got a really good deal at big 5 sports on this bracket mounted kind (14.99 sale)Originally Posted by Anwynd
