The Iron Gym

The Man-Cub had been wanting a pull up bar - they have one at his Tae Kwon Do dojang (that's what they call the gym) - but I didn't want to screw one into a doorway anywhere - and when he saw this nifty over the door model at Stuff Mart - he decided to spend the money he had gotten for Christmas on it...

...and then he wanted to put it together all by himself...

It has to go in the bathroom door (24 - 32 inch doorways only)...

and he has to jump to reach it...
but, unlike me - he can actually do a pull up - I'm still working on it...

You can take it down and use it for push-ups too - I'm not sure that's such a good idea though as they have to do them on their knuckles at TKD...

You can also turn it around and do dips and put it on the floor in a doorway and do sit-ups (it will hold your feet)...

I see some mighty sore arms in our future...
