The ProsourceFit Doorway Pull-Up Bar is a versatile fitness device designed for upper body and core strength training, suitable for home use. It allows users to perform various exercises such as pull-ups, chin-ups, hanging L-sits, elevated push-ups, and dips.
Function Description:
The primary function of the ProsourceFit Doorway Pull-Up Bar is to provide a stable and adjustable bar for bodyweight exercises within a standard doorway. It enables users to engage multiple muscle groups, including the back, biceps, shoulders, chest, and core. The bar can be installed at different heights to accommodate various exercises. When installed at the top of a doorway, it facilitates pull-ups, chin-ups, and hanging exercises. When installed at the bottom of a doorway, it can be used for elevated push-ups and dips, offering a comprehensive upper body workout. The design emphasizes user safety and adaptability to different fitness levels, including options for assisted pull-ups using resistance bands.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Adjustable Length: The pull-up bar is adjustable from 24 inches to 39 inches, making it compatible with a wide range of doorway widths.
- Weight Capacity: The device has a maximum weight capacity of 220 pounds. Users exceeding this weight limit should not use the product.
- Components:
- Pull-Up Bar: The main component, featuring foam grips for comfort and secure handling. It has a twisting mechanism for length adjustment.
- Metal Bar Holders: Two pieces designed to securely mount the pull-up bar to the doorframe.
- Rubber Limiters: Two pieces that are placed between the screw and the metal bar holder to protect the doorframe and enhance stability.
- Wall Screws: Eight screws (4 per holder) are provided for permanent and secure installation of the metal bar holders into the doorframe.
- Required Tool (Not Included): An electric drill is necessary for installing the wall screws and metal bar holders.
Usage Features:
- Installation:
- Measurement: Measure the doorway width to ensure the bar fits. Hold the bar with the logo facing up and twist the ends to lengthen it, marking the desired position for the metal holders.
- Holder Installation: Secure one metal holder to the doorframe. Place a screw through a rubber limiter and drill it into the middle hole of the holder. Use three additional screws to fully secure the holder. Repeat this process for the second metal holder on the opposite side of the doorway.
- Bar Placement: Once both holders are secure, place one end of the pull-up bar into a holder. Lengthen the other end by twisting towards you until the bar fits tightly and securely between the holders.
- Exercise Versatility:
- Beginner Pull-Ups: Users can utilize X-Fit Power Resistance Bands for assistance. Start with a heavier band for more support and gradually transition to lighter bands as strength improves, aiming to perform pull-ups without assistance. Hands should be placed on the foam grips, and the core should be engaged during the exercise.
- Pull-Ups for Strength: Perform as many pull-ups as possible until muscle failure. Aim for four sets of repetitions and track progress. Once 12 standard pull-ups can be performed, users can progress to endurance practice. To increase resistance, add ankle or waist weights (5-10 lbs) or attempt one-arm assisted pull-ups.
- Hanging L-Sit: Hang from the bar with hands placed on the grips and head in a neutral position. Keep legs together and relaxed. Slowly lift legs until they are parallel to the floor (knees can be slightly bent if needed). Hold this position for 10-15 breaths. This exercise targets the core and hip flexors.
- Full Body Stretch: Grasp the bar firmly with palms facing away and elbows bent. Keep feet flat on the floor with heels together. Lower hips and bend knees while keeping arms straight. Release the neck and stretch the entire arm and back. Hold for 15 breaths. This helps in decompressing the spine and stretching the lats and shoulders.
- Elevated Push-Ups (Bottom Installation): Install the bar at the bottom of the doorway. Place hands on the bar and extend legs behind you. Keep the core engaged to prevent arching the back. Slowly lower the body towards the bar as much as possible without compromising form. Return to the starting position with control.
- Dips (Bottom Installation): Sit on the floor facing away from the pull-up bar, installed at the bottom of the doorway. Place hands on the foam grips with fingers turned inward. Extend legs with heels firmly planted on the floor. Tuck elbows in and slowly straighten arms to lift the body up. Lower with control until arms are at a 90-degree angle and repeat.

- Always inspect the product for missing, damaged, or defective parts before use. Do not use if any issues are found.
- Ensure the doorway frame is stable and capable of supporting the pull-up bar and user's weight.
