Anyone have a door frame pull up bar? If so, which one(s) would you recommend? I was thinking these two...http://www.amazon.com/Iron-Total-Upper-Body-Workout/dp/B001ND04U4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=exercise-and-fitness&qid=1273989798&sr=1-1http://www.amazon.com/GoFit-Elevated-Chin-Up-Station/dp/B0027ICCTA/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=exercise-and-fitness&qid=1273989287&sr=1-16

I've got one like the first one and it works fine, I'm only about 150 though, so not sure how they hold up for bigger dudes. Just make sure you don't move into a place with giant door moldings like I did.

I have the regular version of the first one and I know it can support into the 210 range on doors. Works nicely and if you are able to just leave it there you'll find yourself doing pullups more as you see it hanging in the doorway

I weigh 170-175, so I think I should be fine. I want the bigger ones, like the ones I listed, so I can do the pull up that works out your biceps more, when the bars face you.

I got a cheap ebay version, like the one up top and it works great. I'm over 200lbs usually.

I use the Iron Gym and I wear a weighted vest when I do them (ups my weight to about 190). I'd go with the Iron Gym.

I've used other people's door frame bars without problem, and I weigh about 280lbs. The pull-up bar isn't what you have to worry about though; the doorframe is what starts showing damage at that weight.
