p90x Workout Routines - Take your Workout to the Limit!

A lot of people feel that the p90x chin up bar is the most effective and practical piece of exercise equipment in the world - especially if you have just started the p90x workout routines. A genuine follower of the p90x would tell you that the whole program is virtually incomplete without the p90x chin up bar. This bar lets you strengthen your shoulders, back and chest. The bar is easy to install, and this write-up will take you further into the installation process and some other aspects of the chin up bar.

The best part about installation of the p90x chin up bar is that it is designed in such a way that the whole weight of your body is distributed along the frame of the door, and therefore, you would require only two small brackets to support the bar. These brackets help the bar to be in place, and also help in distributing your body-weight along the frame of the door around which the bar is installed. The first step towards installation would be to assemble the p90x chin up bar, exactly as illustrated in the manual. Once installed, the bar has the capabilities of holding up to 300 pounds of weight, without faltering.

The second most important aspect that needs to be looked at before installing the p90x chin up bar is the location you want it to be at. The golden rule about locating a suitable doorframe for the installation of the p90x chin up bar is that it should not be a high-traffic area. You would also need to look at other preferences such as the television and the fan etc. It would be great if you could get the bar installed near the TV set, so that you don't get bored while working out. Vicinity to other similar things that you might need at hand during the workout is also important. One last thing you would need to pay attention to whole narrowing down on the location where you would like your bar is the size of the door. Ideally, any door between 24"’ to 32"’ would support the bar, therefore, it is a must that you take down the measurements of the door's rims before actually installing the included brackets.

Once the brackets are installed, you would need to do a bit of calculation in order to fix the screws that have been provided in the kit. These would be four in number, ideally. Another thing that needs to be taken care of while installing the brackets is that they need to be installed on the appropriate side of the doorway, which essentially would be the direction where the door opens in to. Measure the center of the horizontal distance between two ends of the doorway, mark that location, measure 4" towards each side of the measured point. In this way, you would have created a total of 8" along the center of doorway on either side. Now set the screws in this 8" space which has been created between the brackets, and you are all set to carry out your chin-up routine with a bang.
