Im using this for about 6 months, work out at the gym lots but this is great, hooks into the door, no screws no damage, you only use the upper bar which is quite high off the ground.

Pull Up Bar, Chin Up Bar, Chinning Bar. Powerbar by Power Trainer Fitness, Gym Equipment

Oh, here's a question that came to mind: Does anyone that's taller, probably a lot of males here, mind that the chin up bar isn't full height and one has to bend their legs a bit? Is it a problem at all?

Learn from my experience. Make sure that the bar is wery well fixed with the screws. Several years ago, a work colleague had bought one of those bars and "fixed" it in the door frame without using the provided screws, but just by pressure. And it worked... until one day. When I was up there, chin over the bar and knees flexed, the bar fell, I landed on my knees... => meniscus rupture, surgery etc. So fix the bar very well!

He probably didn't fix those wood screws to the studs in the wall.

The iron gym thingy is surprisingly good. It feels stable enough. But its really not as good as a stand alone chin up bar attached properly. But in an apartment itll do just fine.
