More Gift Ideas For The Holidays!




I found a really great doorway chinning bar called THE DOOR GYM ( see image at top of blog)that does not require screwing anything into the doorway or otherwise needing a setup other than putting the device in place and just chinning your heart away...and it can also be used as a floor dip device. I first came across this fantastic doorway chinup / floor dip device about a decade or so ago at a specialty fitness store in downtown Chicago. I neglected to buy one at the time, though I did recommend it to all of my friends who enjoyed home training. Hey, anything that will give yo the benefits of chinning (even chinning with resistance attached to your body) without having to be setup with a hammer, nails, and/or screwdriver is a godsend.

There is also a cool new floor pushup device that has a lot of potential, and is sturdily built too. It is the "strength builder push-up system:

The STRENGTH BUILDER push-up system takes the guess work out of push-ups. Movable handles allow you to target specific muscle groups and get the most out of your workout. Ergonomic handles eliminate strain to the wrists and elbows.

What can THE STRENGTH BUILDER do for you?

*Builds powerful upper body strength
*Tones and defines upper body - including ABS
*Promotes balance and stability
*Increases wrist strength for added power yet eliminates dangerous wrist strain

What makes Exercising with THE STRENGTH BUILDER different than the common "hands-on-the-floor" Push-ups?

*Hands-on-the-floor push-ups leave the critical hand placement determinations up to the exerciser. Exercises are a precise science that target specific muscle groups. People spend hundreds of dollars to have trainers assist them in targeting key areas. THE STRENGTH BUILDER is designed to target the key areas shown in the hand placement chart. DON'T JUST GUESS!

*Strategically placed handle locations provide optimal precision in toning and strengthening key upper body and abdominal muscles

*Ability to provide ergonomic comfort to hands, while eliminating strain to the wrists and elbows
*Enables you to receive a better stretch and upper body flex which taxes the chest and shoulders more than the regular push-up

*Allows for a safer, more controlled workout

Why THE STRENGTH BUILDER gives more value than "push-up bars"

They have created a highly-detailed, yet simplistic color chart for muscle locations. These images correspond to product hole placements to specifically target those muscle groups. Directional arrows are used to clearly locate position.

Individual push-up bars leave the critical hand placement determinations up to the exerciser. Exercises are a precise science that target specific muscle groups. People spend hundreds of dollars to have trainers assist them in targeting key areas. THE STRENGTH BUILDER is designed to target the key areas shown in the hand placement chart. DON"T JUST GUESS!
Safer, more stable exercise due to a secure stationary platform

Some bars are "plastic" or metal tube construction. Our handles are made from a solid industrial steel rod that is powder-coated to resist rust, and we've added the best EPDM padding available on the market today. This ensures comfort and padding longevity for the most demanding exercise regimes.

No assembly required

Testimonial:"Very rarely do I recommend a piece of fitness equipment, since many of my workouts are calisthenics based and require only a pull-up bar from a playground. Since THE STRENGTH BUILDER is slightly lifted off the floor, it enables you to receive a better stretch and upper body flex while performing a push-up. This movement taxes the chest and shoulders more than the regular push-up."Stew Smith - former U.S. Navy SEAL and fitness author
