Pull ups / tubing pull downs - quick question for SNM

[Gibbee]

Love the blog - but have a quick question.

I know you're coming out w/an alternative to pull ups but I was wondering what the piece of equipment is that cedie is using in the photos... is this something commercially available?

TIA -

Just wanted to add to SNM that there's a typo under Cedie's picture on the blog. It says "Exercise tubing is expensive and can be easily attached . . . " -- I'm sure you meant inexpensive!

I have a similar piece of equipment called a Door Gym.

There's also a word missing in the last sentence of that same description for the tubing. I think the word "select" is missing.

The Door Gym I have is a pull up bar that hooks on a door and the only door I can use it on it too wide, so I'm always looking for another option.

karen - where do you find this?

My Door Gym is different than what you describe. Mine just fits over the top and bottom of a door and then has the tubing with different levels of difficulty. It's by Altus. I bought mine at Wal-Mart many years ago and I don't think they have it anymore, but I found it on Amazon:

Although Cathe's seems to not require the door, according to a previous post. I wish the attorney's would hurry up so we can all find out what this is. I'm psyched to get one, whatever it is!!

I don't think you really need what Cedie is using. You can purchase it from www.power-systems.com, but it is kind of expensive and not necessary.

Maybe something like the total gym...that thing comes close to assisted pull ups.

I workout in my garage and I have setup eyehooks in the ceiling that I run the tubing through. It is very stable and works great. The placement of the door does not really allow for a door setup. My first attempt I used a more open hook - like you would hang a bike on - and the hook bent. Now with the tight hook eyes it is very sturdy.
