chin-up bar

Mounted pull apparatus

A chin-up bar is a horizontal bar mounted at a height that allows a person to hang from it and pull themselves up, typically installed in doorways, on walls, or as part of gym equipment.

The exercise performed on it—the chin-up—involves gripping the bar and lifting your body until your chin clears it: He installed a chin-up bar in his garage.
