Refurbished Fitness Equipment: Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar

Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar - Extreme Edition

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a little leery of making this purchase.Normally, products that seem too simple for too reasonable of a price just never end up satisfying in the way you hope (e.g. The Dodge Neon, anything on Jack in the Box's value menu, my two years at DeVry).But this?Oh.Oh, my faith has been restored in cheap American products.

Because, you see, kids.This is a WELL ENGINEERED cheap American product.Yes, a rarity.I was worried that it would be difficult to assemble.I was worried that it wouldn't really hang from my door frame.I was worried that it would break under my underwhelming 155lbs.I was worried the Utah Jazz wouldn't be able to gear up and start winning road games as the playoffs grew nigh.

I mostly worried for naught.

I assembled the Iron Gym Extreme in about 15 minutes.Probably could have done so a lot more quickly, but I was distracted by Boston Legal on DVD, and by gunning my power ratchet wrench at my cat to stop her from playing in the packing materials.

(Note:You do NOT need your own tools to assemble this product.It comes with a little tool.But you can speed up the process with your own tools.You should have your own tools anyway, you know?Be a man.)

Once you assemble the Iron Gym Extreme, you'll need to pick a doorway.It seemed to fit all my doorways perfectly, but I have heard word of older houses having issues.You will need to insert a small metal wedge into the top of your doorjamb.This helps to secure the device and make sure it doesn't fall on anyone's head.It's not as scary as it sounds, you just kinda shove the thing behind the wood.Then you kinda wiggle it and say "Will that hold it?"Then a few minutes later you say "Gol-darn, it WILL hold it.Ain't that somethin'."Should any friends be standing nearby, this would be an excellent time to exchange high-fives.

I then chin-upped.Well, I tried.God as my witness I had no idea I was such a puss.I had like no upper-body strength.I'm pretty sure I heard my cat laughing at me somewhere down the hall behind me, but the blood was thumping in my ears so I can't be sure.But the bar sure worked!

I didn't give up and kept at the bar.Now, no, several weeks later I'm nowhere close to entering any Ultimate Fighting Competitions or anything, but I can do buttloads of reps now, and my cat has stopped mocking me.

This product has been excellent.Buy with confidence.

The Utah Jazz, however, appear to be headed towards a first-round sweep at the hands of the L.A. Lakers.

Crap.

Product Description:
Strengthen your back, chest, biceps, shoulders, abs, and more in the comfort of your living room or dorm with the Iron Gym Extreme Edition workout bar. An upgraded version of the original Iron Gym, the Extreme Edition boasts two additional grip positions for a total of five: the default narrow, neutral, and wide positions of the first Iron Gym, plus alternate wide and side grips. When installed in the doorway, the device lets you perform pull-ups and chin-ups, with several options for working the inner and outer back. Once you're done with your back workout, you can quickly move the Iron Gym to the floor, where you can perform pushups while facing down, tricep dips while facing the other way, or sit-ups using the Iron Gym for foot stability.
The Iron Gym is the ultimate workout tool for people who want to shape their upper bodies and tone their midsections. And unlike many other workout bars, the Extreme Edition installs conveniently in most doorway frames without damaging your walls or doors with a permanent installation. Just take it off the door when you're finished--no harm done. Sporting a durable steel frame, the Iron Gym Extreme Edition holds up to 300 pounds and is designed to fit residential doorways between 24 to 32 inches, with trim or molding up to 3.5 inches wide.
