Hi Perry,

you should have trim for the extra support. The brackets are supposed to be screwed in above the trim, but there should be something there.

Hi Raul,

that’s a tough one. The brackets are supposed to be screwed into the wall above the trim, so it might be ok. I would try it out. If it doesn’t work, you can return the bar within 30 days.

Do you have to have molding around the door frame for the chin up bar to work? The door frame in my apartment doesn’t have any. I’ll put some up if I have to, but would prefer not to have to do that.

Thank you

The trim on my doorway at the top is rounded instead of flat. Will I still be able to use the P90X chin up bar? Is there enough contact to hold the bar from sliding down the molding or bending the brackets?

You also have to watch the back side of the door where the bracket lays atop the trim, the screw heads will put indents into the sheet rock

Hello CCV,

that section shows each DVD that is included. You should either have dumbbells and the chin-up bar, or the resistance bands with the door attachment do to the chin-up exercises. Or you can mix and match. Basically, you need either the dumbbells or bands to do the resistance, and you need either the bands with the upgrade kit or the chin-up bar to do the back exercises. You will also need a yoga mat.

On the main site page there are pictures under the “THE P90X WORKOUT SYSTEM INCLUDES…” of guy using dumbells and bar bells. Not sure if P90 X workout assumes that one should have all that equipment?

Somehow the instruction paper on how to install my chin up bar is missing. Do you have any link to how you install it?

Hello Lisa,

The chin up bar can not be mounted directly on the wall. As you will need the support in order to do the workout with the bar.

The chin up bar ,while may be sturdy, will do damage to your doorway trim. I suggest using alternative if you have beautiful trim work or just don’t want to damage your trim. The damage can be lessened by placing a washcloth, sock, etc. against the doorway trim while putting up the bar. If I had to do this again, I would never have allowed my husband to purchase the bar. Also as far as installing goes the enclosed instructions are completely inadequate. The brackets need to rest directly on the door frame or they will bend. Also, do not use the measurement guide on the instructions, the 13.75 inches between brackets is totally wrong. You need two people to install. One person should hold brackets above doorway and the other should place bar on and then line it up with the outside trim. The brackets should be on the inside of the veritcal attachment bars. Mark the holes of the brackets with a pencil and then remove bar and brackets and begin drilling. Installation is relatively simple from there.
