Iron Gym Pull Up Bar
Avoid expensive gym subscriptions with a home work out with the Iron Gym Pull Up Bar by Miniqi. This product is designed to fit into doorframes ranging from 24" to 32" and uses leverage to hold itself in place making this ideal when finishing your workout, it can be removed and stowed away and there is no need to drill or screw the bar into place, unlike alot of other similar products currently on the market today.

Price
I purchased this item from eBay for £10.89 including postage and packaging and it arrived within three working days. Some companies sell this for a little more but I was very surprised when the item turned up in such a short amount of time and also included were ab straps and a mini DVD workout disc. Some companies do not offer this so I was chuffed to say the least when I discovered these hidden extras.

Setting Up

The product comes with nice instructions and a manual on the exercises that can be completed. The instructions basically show a simple drawing with all the relevant nuts bolts and screws and how they fit together. It took me ten minutes to fit the bar together and its components and successfully fit the bar to the door of my choice and I started my workout within minutes.

Workouts and Versatility
I looked on Youtube for workouts and used the Mini DVD which did not work on my Xbox for some strange reason but should work on most DVD players or PC's. The fantastic thing about this product is the range and versatility of workouts that can be completed. I have found the Pull Up Bar can be used for normal pull ups, reverse grip pull ups, Wide grip pull ups and centre chest raises. These can be achieved as the bar comes complete with soft foam grips around hardened steel tubing that can support up to 300lb. There are a number of varying handles that can be used for various grips and various excercises. The Iron Gym bar comes with a small metal clip and rubber protector to hold it onto the architrave and the rubber buffer stops the walls from getting scuffed. The Pull up bar can be removed and placed on the ground and used for dips, pushups (with three different grips, diamond, wide and normal) It can be installed into the door frame at the bottom of the door and used for situps. See some of my pictures for how it fits into your door frame.

Effectiveness and Progression
I have had the pull up bar now for three days. I have used it everyday completing a workout around twenty to thirty minutes. I have noticed subtle changes in my strength and appearance in this short space of time. If this piece of equipment is used often enough with a decent diet it will save you lots of money on expensive gym fees. I myself have considered cancelling my gym subscription and sticking to a workout at home using the Iron Gym Pull Up Bar

Good Points
All of the above, the versatility and simplicity make this a great buy for someone looking to improve their upper body strength as it comes complete with an array of tips to guide you on your workout.

Bad Points
I have had to put some towels or kitchen paper between the soft foam buffer that rests on the door frame as all of my door frames are white, the black rubber has marked the frame a little but use some kitchen paper or a towel to overcome this or have your touch up brush at the ready.
