Anyone has this and if anyone else can comment? So, this orange portion width below is about 5cm and door frame width is just 3cm so it will protrude 1 cm on both sides if I centre it.

Would this hold 95kg in that case?

Flip it - I will just buy it and then return it to sportsmans warehouse if it doesn't fit. I usually don't like to do returns as all our returns have indirect cost to consumer later on.

Also either way I hope you have dentistry cover to some extent.

We are all trying to save you a fortune in medical bills and deep [ego] bruises.

By the way, dentistry cover is only needed if you do a pull-up too quickly, thereby slamming your face into the top of the door frame.

For the rest of the potential incidents, you usually need back-of-the-skull cover.

It will fit, fit isn't the problem.. the question is whether the missing surface area on the door frame is enough to cause the supported weight limit to be decreased..

When these things were tested, they were likely tested with the full pads contacting a door frame on either side and supported weight would have been based on that test..

Less surface area, less friction, less weight it can support..

One advantage that this design has is that you can drill support blocks underneath the two edges, straight into the door frame sides.


Pro tip: Just make sure the door can still close before you make the fixtures permanent.
 
ok. Ok. I will not buy this one. I get your concern and really thanks. :cool: I will make another plan now.

If that's the case, you're not going to be doing pull-ups or chin-ups on the regular.

Rather take the landmine approach?

no its for when the bar lets go and the pulling force of your pull up causes the bar to hit your face before gravity overcomes you and the bar, basically you hit your face then you both hit the floor.
