Rogue Jammer Pull-Up Bar
With Rogue Jammer Pull-Up Bar, you can transport your fitness lifestyle without compromise into any room of your home or workplace. It is created to mount above a doorway frame on a standard wood stud wall and is available in your selection of a knurled or smooth finish. The knurled bar highlights a smooth center portion that’s 17.4″ wide, with dual knurl marks on each end that suit the spacing on standard Olympic and Powerlifting barbells. The knurl pattern is strong enough for a solid non-abrasive grip.

You can also choose from Rogue’s textured black powder coat, stainless steel, or any one of ten exclusive Cerakote color finishes.
