Pretty cool. I've seen commercials for it and wondered how it worked. Both how it stayed on in the door (figured that one out :wink2:) and how effective it was. Kind of looking at this and "The Perfect Pushup" thing as an interesting at home workout options. Not sure I'd use them though. When I'm at home I'm lazy. I have to go to the gym to get motivated to workout.

 

Seeing these things pop up EVERYWHERE. When you start seeing them at the check out at Wal-greens thats funny.

Thanks for the heads up Slick. Think I might go pick one up....Oh and I have also heard several bad things about the "Perfect pushup".

IMO, the "Perfect Pushup" would involve Jennifer Aniston or Farrah Fawcett...but thats for a different thread :lol:

 

I was thinking about getting one. Now I definitely will. Do you have a link though?

 

I've been looking at this as well, but I already had a screw-in bar, so I decided not to get it. I agree w/ all of you about the 'Perfect Push-up' though; definitely not worth the plastic they're made with. Don't know why anyone would want to mess w/ a pushup anyway...

 

I dont understand how it wouldnt rip the doorframe apart, but I guess it doesnt. Does it have some kind of weight/stress limit to it that you know of? I was looking at it a bit but im not a small guy and dont feel like combining workouts and home repairs lol.

 

I ordered mine today :up:

 

got me one....we should invent something like this for squats, they have done everything for the upper body, time for the lower body, i cant get to the gym so my pushup iron gym routine is perfect, just need something for the lower body..

 

I think they already did; it's called 'gravity'.:tongue2: Seriously though, try a one or two-minute wall squat...or 100 strict body weight squats- if you can get that high:wink2: That'll kick your butt somethin' serious.


*Or you can do what I do: sling your wife/significant other across your shoulders and do some squats that way. If they struggle, it becomes a great core workout as well!:lol:

 

Lunges on a step for your legs. Great way to include your hamstrings into the mass portion of a workout. Make sure your groin is stretched though, or you'll know about it in a hurry.

 

How does one stretch their groin :huh:

:lol: I do that almost daily but I don't think this is the same thing........ ....

:shifty:

 

The thing about chin ups is you will always favor one arm, and not generate even muscle gain.

That pretty much goes for any two arm exercise, but more so for chin ups.

Be sure to do single arm curls and what not.

 

:lol: No, no, no man- I meant 100, as in doing a hundred, body weight squats in a strict manner, ie- keeping to strict form (just like a regular squat, only using just one's own body weight). Believe it or not, it doesn't take a whole long time to do a hundred squats- it just hurts like hell!:yes:

To me, a wall squat is a static position, hence they are timed, not recorded by number of times done. If you know of a different way, I'd love to hear it. I'm always down for something new- if it's effective that is.:knucks:

 

Man, got mine today (been wanting soething anyway) for 30 bucks at wal greens and I have to pay 8 bucks for the ab straps :( Will be worht it if it works out I guess but I didnt' cmoe out as far on top as I'd hoped lol.

 

Iron Gym arrived today :up:

 

Yeah, others found it for $20.00. I found it for $30.00 with no straps :( BUT it's ok, I've had an incredible streak of luck lately and if I have to compromise here then so be it :)

 

I'm TWO SCREWS SHORT OF A BAR

****! :tantrum:

 

yeah... i just put it together wrong :(

I used to put together patio furniture for two years.... :pity:

 

It hurts like a mother****er :lol:
