Rafter mounted pull up bar

I have a spare room with a tall rafter cutting across the ceiling. It looks like the perfect place to mount a pull up bar and hang my rings. I'd like to find a bar to mount on the back side of the rafter, so it won't show (my fiancee's request of course :) ).

Can anyone recommend a good product?

EMT electrical conduit and some metal straps. Put some sturdy blocks into the backside of the rafter, and then attach the conduit to the blocks with the straps.

Thanks for the tips guys! I ordered the above the door bar from New York Barbell. I'll post a pic when I get it.
