I knew a friend who just go to a door and strench the bar to the door frame that has rubber ends and he can just pull ups all he wants. I don’t want the one that has screws in my door frame. I could take it with me on vacation with ease.

I bought a Gold’s Gym doorway pull-up bar from wal- mart and it came with foam grips but they were crappy and they ripped. Now ive been using my pull up bar without grips and is too slippery especially when my hands sweat which makes pullups a lot harder and less effective. Some say to use athletic tape but some say it gets to sticky some say to use tennis racket or baseball bat tape but some say not to. what would be the best thing to use without having to replace it too often?
okay I know they have those neww pull up bars that just go up and come down but I have the classic screw in wall pull up bar but my mom wont let me put it up because she says it will damage the door because it must be screwed in. Is there a way to put it up without screwing it and damaging the door?
my question is can i put the pull up bar I have now up another way except screwing it in.
what would be the standard that is set for a male to do as far as pull-ups? When i was doing infantry training, i maxed out at 26 chin-ups, and averaged a basic 20 chin-ups. For men of all ages.
P90X is a workout for use in your own home. Since P90X requires chin ups (ok ALOT of chin ups), you need a place to do them. This might be a good alternative for you providing your door frames fit the requirements. www.extremely-fit.com
What’s best between these two? Or are they relatively the same thing?
Can I get the same muscle workout with resistance bands as I can with pull up bars?

For more workouts: goo.gl Pull-ups are one of the BEST exercises for your back. They’ll put muscle on your back fast — and you don’t need any equipment to do them! Not only do they build muscle, but they also build great functional strength and athleticism since you are lifting your body weight. But — it’s VERY IMPORTANT that you do your pull-ups the RIGHT way! Otherwise, you risk injuring yourself, and you won’t get the benefits of the exercise. I also show you 3 pullup variations — one to add width to your back, one to add thickness to your middle back, and one that also works your biceps in addition to your back. I also give you a KILLER 12 set pull-up workout to do. You can add a lot of size to your back just doing this. Of course, it’s best if you have a full back routine with dead lifts, rows, etc… but if you only have a pull-up bar, doing just this is a great start.
