pull bar

Ceiling-mounted exercise handle

A pull bar is a horizontal bar mounted to a wall, door frame, or ceiling for doing pull-ups and chin-ups.

Home fitness versions often use tension or leverage to wedge into doorways without permanent installation: I mounted a pull bar in the hallway.

Also called a pull-up bar or chin-up bar.
