Features that you should consider before buying a pull-up bar
The type of pull-up bar you choose
There are two types of chin-up bars that are currently on the market, one is the simple bars, simply composed of a bar with different types of anchorage, thickness and models. The price of this type of bars is usually lower since the amount of exercises you can do is lower.
Then we have the multifunctional bars that incorporate other features or additional uses, where we have two types of anchoring, one is on the wall and the other is on the ground. In this type of bar you will be able to work more muscle groups since it incorporates another type of grips, an anchor for an Olympic bar and, in some cases, a bench.
There are different anchor points
Here it depends a lot on where you live and what you need. There are different anchor points, on the door, on the wall, on the ceiling or mixed. Each one has different characteristics, the bars with the door anchor are usually simpler than those on the wall, where there is usually more than one bar.
Depending on your needs and limitations, and the training you are going to do, you can choose one anchor or another. There are bars that do not need the use of a screw, so in certain situations it can come in handy, which are usually the bars with anchoring in the door.
