Are Doorway Pull-up Bars better than Standard Pull-up Bars?
There is a debate among fitness enthusiasts about the pullup bar rod for home. Many consider that standard pullup bars that are attached to the ceiling are better as they can hold your weight and allow you to do multiple exercises at a time.
While, there are fitness instructors who think that doorway pullup bars better for homes because they can easily be removed and they can also hold the same amount of weight.
We have tried to help ease this debate by providing pros and cons of both.
Doorway Pullup Bars:
Pros:
- Removable from the door frame
- Can easily lift your weight
- Come with multiple grips
- Lower in cost
- Don't ruin the ceiling
Cons:
- Can ruin the door frame. Many users have reported that thin door frames can't hold someones weight.
- Can limit the types of pullup exercises you can do
Ceiling Pullup Bars:
Pros:
- Can lift your weight easily
- You can do multiple exercises on the ceiling pullup bars
- They are easier to use and you aren't limited by the door frame
- Can be bolted to the ceiling in any room you want
- Provide better exercise routine
Cons:
- Not easy to bolt to the ceiling. You need a drill machine and a big stool
- Not everyone is big enough to reach the ceiling pullup bar
- Ceiling pullup bars can sometimes ruin the ceiling of the room
Conclusion?
Both types of pullup bars are fine. It depends on the user how he uses them. As you can see, none of them is perfect. One will ruin the door frame and the second will ruin the ceiling. So, the best thing is to see which one will fit your home and buy it.
