Equipment Review: Ironmaster Chin Up Bar

Normally I love Ironmaster and all things they make, but I’m sorry to say this was the one thing I wish I hadn’t bought from them.  Basically it wobbles too much due to the fact it relies on the Super Bench for stability, and while the bench itself is good and solid, it just doesn’t have a large enough footprint for the job.  I mean the feet on the bench are only around 20-some odd inches at their widest, nowhere near the size required to prevent any kind of sway.  At first I thought I was just being nitpicky and then I went to the park and did some pull-ups on a jungle gym and there was no comparison.  It’s well constructed I’ll grant, but you’re way better off buying one of those bars that jam into a door frame for like half the price.
