Review of the Perfect Pull-up Bar

The Perfect Pull-up bar is the most affordable and versatile of all the pull-up bars on the market. For $20, you are getting the most for your money. With that said, you are also installing much more and putting more holes in your door frame. Though you get more, is it really worth it? It all really depends on the individual. If you don't have much upper body strength and struggle with pull-ups then the Perfect Pull-up is a good fit for you. The Perfect Pull-up has options that allow you to perform a modified pull-up while leaning back on your feet so you are only lifting a portion of your body weight.

For the more advanced user, the Perfect Pull-up bar doesn't add much out of the box. There are upgradeable accessories that you can add such as arm straps for performing suspended leg lifts and even a dip bar so you can blast your triceps. The Perfect Pull-up bar can be much more than a pull-up bar if you are willing to pay the price. After you have purchased all of your upgrades, you will have paid about $100. Instead of transforming your doorway into a metal clad part entrance, part gym cyborg, you could afford to buy a very decent home gym that you can use to get a total body workout.

Though I wouldn't recommend buying the accessories, I do recommend the Perfect Pull-up bar for anyone who doesn't mind drilling holes in their doorway. Despite the on the box claims, the Perfect Pull-up bar doesn't add anything for the advanced user but neither does any other pull-up bar. The most basic pull-up bars start at $20, and the Perfect Pull-up bar is far from basic for the same price. So, if you are on the market for an in-home pull-up bar, the Perfect Pull-up bar is the best choice you can make for the value.

The only scenario in which I wouldn't recommend the Perfect Pull-up bar is for people who don't want to drill holes in their door frame, and in that case I would recommend the Iron Gym Pull-up Bar.
