hey everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we'll be looking at this pull-up bar found at Walmart called the doorjamb trader made by Gold's Gym for only 20 dollars now this is the lowest price bar I could find so I wanted to compare it to the popular Iron Gym pull-up bar and my favorite the multi-gem from the company perfect you can click on either one of those videos playing right now to watch their reviews as well so without further ado we'll get started now the exterior color is entirely black and constructed with steel tubing plastic and foam mounts now the unit comes unassembled with a separate bag consisting of screws nuts and washers and they do include all the mounting hardware as well and assembly took maybe about 5-10 minutes maybe 15 minutes the most that I really didn't time myself just using their picture diagrams which was a pretty straightforward now this pull-up bar is securely held on by the door frame and does not require any drilling or screwing just like the iron jim and the perfect pull-up bar now for the instructions this unit fits standard door frames from 27 1/2 inches wide to 32 inches wide then as for the thickness of the door about four and a half to six inches is ideal in my personal door here and I'll show you the measurements it's actually five and a half inches thick and before I get started the pros as a disclaimer I'm not a fitness instructor or claiming to be some great fitness 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 the review is on the product itself and not me so I'll start with the pros here right off the bat the Gold's Gym bar feels almost identical to the iron Jim's the warning sticker right on the front the bar does indicate a maximum of two hundred and fifty pounds and I'm lightweight weighing in at about 160 pounds currently and it does its job though and it's able to hold me up perfectly fine and there is some movement that feels like the bar is flexing a little bit but most of that is attributed to the foam pads on each side and the flexing in the middle again it's not too much but it's also on par with the Iron Gym and the perfect bar actually was the most stable out of the three now in my iron gym video summer fans mentioned it didn't fit their door so be sure to rewind the video and double-check in those measurements just in case and now with this gold Jim's bar just like the other two it does rest on the front facing trim of the door and also on a tablet rim when mounted and that's where it's going to take most of the weights now the foam padding felt a bit thicker than the iron jims which is great but the design again is nearly identical as you can see on the iron Jim the foam breaks down and starts to leave scuff marks on the door trim in the wall now something to be cautious about if you choose to purchase this one as well now lastly because of the design of the of these pull-up bars you can do several types of workouts in general ok you can have your hands face your body and do standard pull-ups to work your biceps you know face your hands the other way and you can work on your forearms and lats I mean I hold myself up and do leg lifts to work my legs abs and core muscle groups as well now place the ball on the ground and you can use it as an anchor to your door to do sit-ups or elevated push-ups and doing dips so there's a good variety of Nusa GUI t'm easily dismount this and place it into hiding or move into a different room in seconds again it's not permanently affixed to your doorframe and with only this bar there is a workout guide which gives you some ideas on different workouts to do a food guide is also provided that I thought was pretty helpful providing you know some ideas on what to eat rather than eating the same stuff every week and lastly was a 20-minute workout DVD which they didn't need to put in the package to be honest with you but it was nice that they offered it though it's a pretty intense workout that really focuses around the use of the pull-up bar and whatnot so if you're into that I mean that's a huge plus there as well the only con I really had was although the foam is soft but over time again it will start wearing away and start breaking down technically it is wear and tear and again it does leave some scuff marks on your doorframe now if you want you can put some washcloths behind that I'm sure that it could protect your door but for my sake it's too late but I had the Iron Gym for almost two years now and although it's worn it still works perfectly fine and that's what I see for the Gold's the Gold's Gym the pull-up bar as well and considering this bar is ten dollars cheaper at twenty dollars it's a great alternative if you're on a budget now if you want to beef your bar with a little bit more support I'd say thirty dollars total and you can get the perfect multi gym so in my opinion is this better than the engine I'd say it's on the same level in regards to build quality but I'd say worth a buy though since it is obviously a cheaper option so I hope you enjoyed this
