hey everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we'll be looking at this pull-up bar made by the company called perfect for $30 I found this at the local Walmart and it's found also online at amazon.com now I've done the same review on its competitor the iron jim pull-up bar which is the same exact price now I'm not sure why this particular bar isn't as popular as the engine but watch this entire video and I'll go over if and why this may be a better alternative than the iron jim pull-up bar so without further ado let's get started so the exterior color is white and black and constructed with steel tubing plastic and foam mounts the unit comes unassembled with a separate bag consisting of your screws nuts and washers they also included a two-sided tool one end has a wrench and the other end has the Philips head screwdriver which means you don't need additional tools to put this thing together assembly was easy and took about 10 or 15 minutes for myself using its picture diagrams now this pull-up bar is securely held on by the doorframe and does not require any drilling or screwing now per the Box this unit fits standard door frames from 27 inches wide to 35 inches wide and for the thickness of my particular door it is five and a half inches thick and before I get started with the pros as a disclaimer I'm not a fitness instructor or claiming to be some great famous advisor I'm just the average Joe just looking for good products to use so if I do have bad posture or not so perfect form please this review is on the product and not me so I'll start with the pros here now I've had the Iron Gym for over a year now and it's never failed both pull-up bars do work though but the perfect pull-up bar does feel like it has thicker steel tubing the bar doesn't flex as much compared to the Iron Gym when I'm on it and I love lightweight weighing in at about 160 pounds so in my Iron Gym video several fans mentioned it didn't fit their door as well the perfect bar comes in gracefully with additional mounting positions to ensure it fits your door though if you're a bit taller you can also adjust a back bar by several inches up to give you a bit more ground clearance again this is something the Iron Gym cannot do I also wanted to mention these wide foam pads help the door tremendously it gives more weight distribution to even the load giving more stability and longevity to your door trim and the pull-up bar itself as you can see these black marks on my door frame is actually from the Iron Gym with these foam pads on the perfect pull-up bar I don't foresee that happening if anything I can always play small washcloths there to prevent any damage or further damage lastly what Iron Gym could not do was truly give me wide grip options because of these protruding foam pads here it leaves this area for me to grip I can work more my lats with more range and motion the foam padding extends all across unlike the Iron Gym as well you can perform an assortment of pull-ups have your hands face your body and do standard pull-ups to work your biceps face your hand the opposite way and work on your forearms and lats and sometimes I hold myself up and do leg lifts to work them at legs abs and also my core muscle groups as well and just like the iron gym there's other functions of this particular product such as foot anchors for setups elevated push-ups and doing dips as well so there's a good variety of music there and less few items I can easily dismount this and place it in hiding or moving to a different room in seconds so the only con I really had was although the pads are soft but over time I'm sure will give way again it's just normal wear and tear though but I'm certain you can place washcloths there to help protect your door or even buying thick felt pads if you ever need to repair or replace an area so on that in my opinion is this better than the Iron Gym I'd say definitely yes I'd say it's worth of I especially because it's the same price for either bar and I've had the Iron Gym for over a year now and use it often and I ran across this and said hey you know why not if this is actually better so I'd say give it a try if you're in the market for a pull-up bar in general so that's it for this review I hope you enjoyed this review of this pull-up bar made by perfect for $30 and if you have nuts please take your time to like and subscribe to this video for future alerts to new products this is Jimmy from Jim's review room take care for one bye
