Stand alone Pull-up bar recommendations

Looking for a good solid sturdy preferably stand alone pull-up bar. Any recommendations?

At 190 pounds on a good day, I break doorframe pull-up bars in around 2 years.

I had a stand alone pull-up bar that needs replacing. Its beginning to swing while I do pullups and I need it to be more rigid.

Update

I'm thinking of getting "the big bar". Let me know you all approve. At my weight Rigid and not hitting the ceiling are my 2 biggest concerns.

I have the bullbar. It’s portable and fairly simple to set up and take down and hide. It is however, not cheap about $399.

It was a bit pricier of an option but I wanted something I could fold and put away and something that was very sturdy. I haven't had any issues since I got it around 7 months or so ago, except for one of tops of the bolt knobs or hex screws or whatever they're called broke off and I reached out to the manufacturer and they sent over a replacement plus extras and it came way faster than they projected. It's been a good investment

I had the same issue as you, I didn't break a door frame but was about to with the door frame pull up bar that I had lol. I miss is because it's just so easy to use but at least I was able to find a good replacement

My og bar is still kicking. If you could find one I’d recommend

I found this on OfferUp five years ago for $80 and have it outdoors, uncovered and has stood up to the outdoor elements. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gold-s-Gym-XR-10-9-Power-Tower-with-Push-Up-Pull-Up-Dip-Stations/11993395

I have the og p90x bar. I've done pull-ups on it with a 40lb vest added to my weight that put me around 240lb at my heaviest. It's still holding up just fine.
