I had seen the Perfect Pullup bar in the local Target store. But $99 seemed pretty expensive for a pullup bar. Though it did look pretty nice, and well built. And it was cool that it was designed by a Navy SEAL. But still…

I checked out ebay, and found the Perfect Pullup bar was still pretty pricey. So I decided to see what else was available. I found a variety of different pull up bars available online. I thought I might check out what was for sale at Walmart. So yesterday afternoon, I drove to Walmart, and after looking around, I found a Gold’s Gym Exercise Bar for Chin Up, Push Up, Sit Up for $12. For $12, I thought it was a good deal. It turned out to be a great deal since online I found the same bar seems to sell for $30. Nice!

I installed it in a doorway when I got home. Actually, I had to wait till my cordless drill battery recharged. Install was easy. It’s in a doorway I walk through often. I decided that when ever I walked through that doorway, I would do either pullups or chinups depending on the direction I went through. Today, I am kind of sore. I am planning to take the day off from pull ups and chin ups to let my muscles recover. But tomorrow I will get back to pullups and chin ups. Maybe make it an every other day thing till my muscles get acustomed to doing these new exercises.
