The Crossgrips by Jayflex were quite the find. While expensive, they have been the best overall pull-up bar to protect my doorframe that I have tested so far. If this is a big concern for you, like it is for me renting a house, I recommend you check out this brand to see if they can assist you in keeping pull-ups in your workout program. Be fit, game on!

Awesome great review 👍🏿 👏🏿. Breakdown with pros and cons just what I asked for. Had no idea these had been out this long. Just saw an article about them for the first time today
Great review vid! Very thorough. Interesting to see some of the alternative uses for the bars. Been looking for a door frame pull-up bar but was worried about damage and unexpected detachment. Will definitely consider these ones. Thanks for the info. Keep the vids coming!
Thanks for watching. So far so good after 30 days but I'll have another at 3 months to see if anything changes.
GREAT TO THE POINT REVIEW. I first saw these on amazon and I am going to buy a pair even though they are pricy. The bars are so hard to use these days because my doorways are modern and very wide in my condo apt. The bars today they make are just not wide enough to reach the edges. These cross bars eliminate the problem of narrow bar vs wide doorways. I have a pull up bar I used in my old apt that had some narrow doorways but now it just sits in the garage. So this means I will never have to buy another pull up bar again. Thanx again for the review.
I personally love these. I am trying to find equipment to get off the doorframe (like the IronMaster Super Bench Pro I have) but I haven't found exactly what I want yet. Just make sure your frame is strong enough.
Just ordered. Look forward to using these. I think I'll wrap rhe handles with foam padding and tape though.
Tape could be a good idea, especially if you get sweaty hands.
Hey Gamerbody! Love the videos! What do you weigh your backpack with? Thanks for your reviews.
I don't weigh it. I have the Core Adjustable Dumbbells where each is 5 lbs so I just track that weight.
The scale I own right now is the RENPHO Bluetooth scale, but I don't weigh my backpack on it.
This exactly the review I was hoping to see, Darrik. I've been wanting to get them, but afraid they would damage the door. Seems like they are a better option than the standard door pullup equipment, plus they are portable. Thanks for sharing the review!
Yeah I just wish the price wasn't so high. It's one of the major reason people will not buy it which is unfortunate. I am now a huge fan. Just needs some minor adjustments to avoid pinching my fingers and slightly larger groups, but once that is set these will be perfect. I hope competitors start price wars soon.
If you are looking for another alternative to test I can add some insight on the Evolve-Over pull up bar that is quite popular. I bought it and It is as sturdy as they say but my doorframe is too weak, so I fear that it might push the doorway apart. It did push the paint in a corner apart and I hear creaks so something like this would be better for me personally.
This type of bar is getting more common. I do plan to check it out, but I need to make sure it will fit in my doorframe. Thanks for the insights.
The scary thing is putting the whole weight on the top of the doorframe. But that part of it is easier to replace than the main doorframe. And could put heavy duty screws into it to make sure the trim stays up. My other alternative is waiting until I can buy a halfrack with a pull up bar. 🤔
Oh, another option is to raise up the dip bars with something like flat chairs.
Edit: hehe ended up here again. XD I really don't trust my doorframes to hold my weight. They are very weakly made it feels like. I can just about bend them with my hands.
I hear you. I was very skeptical with my Crossgrips but so far they feel even better than my old bar that came down over the sides of the frame as well. I'm very impressed but we will see in the 3 and 6 month updates :)
When I first watch this I was thinking "God damn how broad is this guy's shoulders?! They take up the whole door frame." Then I realized you set them up on a closet door.
Haha yeah this doorway is a bit narrow. Good for chin-ups but tough with regular pullups. My shoulders aren't that wide.
thanks for the review. I ordered and received these and the right handle on mine isn't at 90 degrees like the left handle is. Are the handles on yours both 90 degrees? I noticed at :35 that it looks like the left handle on yours is slightly angled similar to mine, but it could just be the angle of the camera here. There are a lot of reviews on Amazon experiencing the same thing unfortunately.
I think mine has a slight angle, but as soon as I put my weight on it, it levels out regardless. It should be fine unless you see it slipping off the doorframe.
I looked up this device and stumbled upon this channel. After I saw the name of the channel I knew the right thing to do was subscribe lol
Thanks for subscribing! As of right now, these are the only doorway pull-up bars I recommend. There are similar ones I may test out, but the Crossgrips are excellent.
Heads up. They don’t fit on all door frames. But if it fits your door frame the quality is really high.
Yes, make sure you have flat frames on the top and that they go out about 0.25in from the wall. I believe you have about 6 inches for the width of the wall.
I notice when you do your chins or pulls you don't raise yourself up all the way, is it because you are afraid of what could happen if your weight gets beyond a certain height?
I try to avoid.losing the tension but I'm very close to that point. My head is still reaching my hands level (might be hard to tell in video) I also don't fully relax at the bottom so that I keep the constant tension throughout, but I'm very close to that position.
Using Fat Grips helps with the narrow grip circumference
If they stay on it might work if you need them to be larger. It could be annoying if they rotate around the handles though.
Do you think it would be dangerous to attach TRX cables to the Crossgrips?
Yes. I personally would not trust that.
Think they would hold up my TRX trainer?
Maybe, and only if you did vertical pulling. I would not trust it if you are going into a horizontal pull.
I'm debating getting the Ryze-ups (their upgraded model)... But I'm 250 lbs... So... Yeah....
Hmm yeah I'd avoid it until you lose a bit more weight. You won't want to stress the max weight limit. I will be testing it after the 6 months of testing the Crossgrips to see which is better :)
Good complete review.
Sadly, 1 year later they are actually even more expensive.
Yeah up a little bit. Personally, I would still buy them for this price, but it is getting expensive.
can you close a door with it on
No. One of the downsides.
hey man I saw these dumbbells on amazon that are near identical to the yes4all ones that are 200 bucks cheaper at 400 and they are called cap barbell adjustable dumbbells' and they even have the same sizes to choose from so maybe when i start mowin ma neighbors grass for money ill get em so i can finally build my legs and other lacking body parts
Remember you are young! Learn those basics and calisthenics now and then add on as you get stronger. You can get very far with just bodyweight and save until you decide you need more.
a good way to train legs without expensive adjustable dumbbells btw are shrimp squats and pistol squats (both are one-legged squats). if you can do sets of 30-50 of those, your legs will be stronger than the average person who squats their bodyweight on a barbell. that ought to be good enough to start out with, after you have achieved that then you could add weight to your legs. i do own the yes4all set (bought it before the pandemic back when it was just 200 dollars instead of the current 600 or whatever) but i still do pistols and shrimp squats for training legs, as well as using the dumbbells on a box for box squats (with a weighted vest, so i have like 2x 100 pound dumbbells and a 60 pound weighted vest, for a total of a 260 squat onto a box. still not very much, but it's all i can do with the equipment i have). and even with the 260 in weight, the no-weight pistol squats and shrimp squats are almost as challenging if you do them for high reps.
@@rinkuhero That’s what I want the weights for so I can build my strength up for a pistol squat because I can’t do nothing pistol squat related
@@calisthenicsbeliever7602 look up pistol squat progressions on youtube, you can do them by doing slightly easier versions of them.
@@rinkuhero None of them help me
its 120 now on amazon.
Yeah, unfortunately prices for almost all my equipment has gone up in the past year because of demand.
How far can they stretch out?
It can expand to 6 inches.
Should wrap the grips with electrical tape or use some type of grip tape
Yeah that should help a bit.
Have you thought of maybe putting a BMX bike grip on it?
I have not, but could be helpful.
@@GamerBody I would be very interested to know if it works.
Man the price is fine.... U want them to be free or what.... not over priced ....seems like a good product.... appreciate ur review Good job
They are £175 on the UK Amazon store 😮
Everything just keeps going up in price :/
I think my shitty door
Frame would break
So far I've been lucky and no door frame has ever broken. I've had bars in the past that left markings, but that's it.
I'm 190 at 5'9" i just dont trust my weight
As of this past Sunday, I'm 198lbs. Still works great, but make sure you door frame can support the weight as well. The handles feel solid though.
This product is the worst and I regret purchasing. The pipe is thin and painful to grip; nothing to do with grip strength. You can see in all your demoing how much pain you look like you're in.
If that were true, I wouldn't still be using them (I used them in my workout yesterday). Seems like for you they aren't a great option, but they are still my favorite doorway pull-up bar/handles.
AS A PROFESSIONAL CARPENTER, I DON'T RECOMMEND USING THIS PRODUCT ON A DOOR CASING...YOUR GOING TO GET HURT, AND DESTROY YOUR DOORJAMB...
Doesn't fit old houses - why don't you warn people about that before talking about how it works in an "acceptable" door frame
