In other words, the chin-up bar or pull-up bar. Quite a mouth full Iron Gym has managed to string together there. Once you get past spitting that out, you end up with a very nice, serviceable workout bar. This is a key piece of equipment for P90X, as listed in the manual. Beachbody of course sells the P90X Chin-up Bar, however, it’s a little pricier than this comparable offering from Iron Gym. The Iron Gym Uppoer Body Workout Bar looks to be almost the exact same product when you examine the two. Both appear to be assembled the same and have the same grip positions. They both attach to the door frame the same way, as do most of these in door pull-up bars. Besides the price they could be identical. The differences appear to be all comsmetic.
I have not used the P90X bar, instead opting to buy the cheaper Iron Gym Workout Bar. It serves it’s purpose and holds my considerable weight without making me think the whole thing is coming down. It’s a fairly sturdy, door frame chin-up bar. My biggest complaint is the width for the wide grip which doesn’t seem to allow for a very wide grip. When I think wide grip, outside the shoulders I think more than an inch or so. There doesn’t seem to be much difference between the standard grip width and the wide grip width. This can probably be said for both bars. In the end both use the same design principle to allow you to hang in your doorway and do pull-ups for the P90X workouts. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. Probably should check the door widths of your house and the requirements for the bars before purchasing. That was the biggest problem it seemed people were having once they bought a bar. The doors were to wide and the bars didn’t hit right on the support points.
