Someone sent me this link, thought I'd pass it on. It's an option for pullups, ie. as in P90X, but it's not a door attachment.

That looks cool too, thanks! I was looking specifically for something that could be used on the floor, ie. not attached to a door, ceiling etc. I was thinking of purchasing the bars used in my original post for incline pushups as well, which is shown on the website. I'm trying to improve and do "big girl" pushups, and someone suggested doing wall pushups then gradually progressing to the floor, hopefully this will work for that! Kinda pricey though...grrr.
Hi Stacy,
You could easily make a set of those out of PVC pipe for about $20. I made a set of parallettes that are exactly the same, just a little shorter. They're very sturdy and only took an hour or two to make.

ETA: When I made mine, I found pre-cut PVC pipe in 24" lengths at Home Depot. That decreased the cutting necessary.
