CHIN UP BAR  Your Chin Up Bar does for your arms, shoulders & back what the Hex Bar does for your legs. Furthermore, your Chin-Up Bar will be one of the LEAST expensive purchases you will ever make! So what should you look for in this remarkable bar? Your Options:Chinning Bars come in all styles, shapes, sizes and flavors, from the wall mounted chin up bar to the portable. My bar hangs in a garage doorway, and cost me twenty bucks. I've had the bar over ten years and despite some wear and tear and the odd fleck of rust, it has given me unfailing service. It just goes to show, you don't have to spend big to buy quality: simple, functional, and basic gets the job done... Does this sound familiar? ;-) But what if you DON'T have free access to a doorway; what do you do then? How does THIS sound? Wall Mounted Chin Up BarIf you've room on your garage, or home gym wall, this is a terrific option. Fixed to your wall, the bars - like the doorway bars - are available for immediate use: reach up, do your 3-5 repetitions, and your upper body workout is done! Like the doorway bar, the wall mounted option comes in different flavors. Some are fixed, or have the flexibility to alter your grip, or even have adjustable arms. As with the squat bar, I suggest you go with what you can afford - but consider: your purchase, if treated right, will last you a lifetime :-) But what if wall space is at a premium?
 Free Standing Chin Up BarThis option gives you the bonus of portability. Coupled with dipping bars (many free standing chinning bars have this added extra), you get the best of both worlds. Again, go with what your purse or wallet will allow. If you buy quality, you insure your workouts will be safe and super-productive... Always buy bomb-proof! And remember: the bar doesn't have to be fancy. The ordinary joe philosophy is to get the biggest bang for your buck! This means exercising PRODUCTIVELY and buying your equipment WISELY. There really is no need to spend a fortune on some weird, home exercise gizmo that will spend the rest of its life under your bed! Instead buy for function: A solid set of chinning bars are exactly that!
A Word On Making Your OwnFor the creative amongst you, there are excellent resources online where you can get details on how to make your own chin-up bar. However, the cost of a doorway chinning bar is SO wallet and purse-friendly, unless you are a whizz in the workshop and want something uniquely your own, go with basic :-) PowerhouseWe've seen what's available for exercising your arms, shoulders & back, but what about the powerhouse that is your chest? Do you remember that hothead brother of The Invisible Girl? Well, it's time we got to visit Human Torch's equipment of choice! Go to The Dip Bar!
