This bar is very useful in a multitude of ways. I like the fact that you can do about 5 different kinds of pull ups using the bar, and probably more if you got creative. In addition, you can use it to do a few different types of pushups. Your pushups can be deeper as a result of the bar being a little bit off the ground. One other thing that I like about the pushups is that if your wrists are bothering you, since you are grasping the bar itself and not bending your wrists on the ground, there is no discomfort. Made of high quality material and it works like a charm.
