Value Engineering

There is this thing called Value Engineering (VE). Basically, it's when you design something, and then have to change it to make it cheaper.
I tried to mount a hangboard above a door in my apartment recently. After about 20 exploratory holes, I found the studs above my door were VE'd out of the design.

If you're looking for some good resources for hangboard workouts, check out this list.

    He he... coincidence, I just hung ours yesterday. I had some trouble finding the studs too, but I shrugged it off to our complex being built in the 50's(?). Anyhow, 7 of the 10 screws struck gold.

    Funny. Now you're going to have chalk all over the apartment.

    I just took mine down, and have stud holes all over the wall.
