    All I have to say is MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL IT CORRECTLY.

    See YouTube for hilarious examples.

    Unless your house is made of Cheese Nips or you weigh 400+ lbs. I doubt you'll damage your door frame.

    *full disclosure* I own a door frame model

    First one is way better. You don't have to screw anything in, you can store it when you're not using it, and you won't have to look at an eyesore of a pullup bar anymore if you eventually get lazy and stop using it.

    I'd just...use my...like whatever.

    Buying a pull-up bar seemes useless! You can make one with all the risks and dangers included.
