I brought that pull-up bar from argos in a pack set with a sit-up bar and some press-up bars for £14.99. Not sure of the item number im afraid.
Just remember to fit the bar properly! Or you'll end up on your backside like me when it slipped out of position!!

BenGee1981, are you sure you aren’t a Argos sales man, or perhaps some kind of Argos obsessive? Three out of you're current four post have included Argos in some way shape or form
A rather worried

I get all scared in those places, to many numbers and things to do
give me Macro anyway.

Stokey, what are "muscle ups" ?
When I first tried pull ups they quickly turned into f*** ups, but I'm good at them now

It's a bit weird at first but when you get the hang of it your forearms hang out as if you've been on a climbing wall for a while.
You'll need a decent grip for the ropes, Tarzan and Assault courses etc and this seems to do the trick.
Not sure if you can get them at Argos though

Those muscle ups look well good. I've never heard of them before, be handy for climbing over tall walls.

That muscle ups vid is great, what skill!
Now will have to see if Argos sell some of those rings to put in my doorframe along with the chinning bar

Once tried the Armstrong pullup but it all went tits up as I did not have the Moons Gravity to help me...........Coat please gentlemen.
Press Ups, Pull Ups...............If you can't hack the requirement needed for the PRMC then don't bother attending in truth.
Sorry but questions like this have been done to the death. Use the search button, please!

I Screwed a 2 foot long, 4 inch thick piece of wood on to the top of my garden Shed Doorway with 5 inch Screws.
Works a treat.
I can do plenty of underhand ones but my overhand ones are terrible.
I can run at the bar and pull myself up, drop down half way and pull up again but I cant for the life of me pull up from a locked arm position.
Going to buy a broomstick and start doing some reverse ones lying on my back and see if they work.
I've never, ever come accross anything as impossible as overhand pullups
Lol
