Iron Gym
Gut busting! Ab Shredding! Back Exploding!
How can you not want to buy something with words like that? I was just watching TV trying to get some inspiration for this blog post. I haven’t posted in awhile, so I wanted it to be a good one. Lo and behold, pay dirt. Iron Gym is a pull up system that fits in your door frame. The commercial starts with talking about the three different types of pull ups you can do: narrow, wide and neutral (there are actually five because the narrow and wide can be done with both grips - supinated and pronated), but then it goes on to say that you can use the IG for push ups (just do a push up, why the hell do you need something to do them on?), sit ups (yeah let’s have people tighten their hip flexors, quads and abdominals, as if they already aren’t tight enough from sitting all day long) and finally dips (that you can go through about six inches of ROM).
all for the low price of 29.95!
This is actually, all things considered, a great little piece of equipment. It’s a shame they couldn’t't have marketed it better. It’s really just a glorified pull up bar for your door. You can buy a cheaper one at wal-mart. Or just go to the gym.
Although, probably the people most likely to buy this contraption are the people who can’t actually do a push up or pull up.
