  • yeah i've had a similar thing for a couple years. works great. kinda scratches the paint directly above your doorframe but otherwise is pretty much awesome and doesn't fuck up the molding on the doorway. seems useless for situps/pushups/dips though.

    next get yourself some rings [www.ringtraining.com]

  • ok, if you look in the picture on the top, there are cross bars that brace on the side of the door. I'm not a scientist, but I believe it transfers the weight to the sides of the door. i dunno, its fucking magic and i do pull ups on it.

  • the curved metal part is not long enough and it hits the door frame, which prevents it from locking on top of the molding. i owned it. it work on standard molding, but not the really old/large molding.

  • yeah, that's why that blue ab slider thing up there is good. it's got a spring mechanism that helps push you back up a bit, so you can start using it right away with proper form, etc. that wheel on a stick thing, which I also had, is not for beginners. I actually hurt my lower back using the plain wheel on a stick ab roller device.
