tack it to the casing - it's there for decorative purposes only and doesn't
need to be solid...fixing it to the casing minimises gaps when the timber
dries / shrinks / both - if it's fixed to the wall, expect gaps

I've seen a home gym apparatus that clamps onto the architrave and is
designed to hold an adult's weight.
Let alone how much you will weigh with all those extra stones of muscle
they promise !
