@unfriendly702 Pull ups are definitely a good way to go. Personally I rarely lift weights, and if I do, I keep it light. Generally no more than 60 lbs. It depends on what your objective is. I prefer to maintain a small size, so I train for endurance. i.e. I'll do 100 curls at 20 lbs as opposed to 20 reps at 80 lbs for example. Depends on your goal, but pull ups are a great addition to any program.
@unfriendly702 Im 16 next week mate, and ive been doing weights since i was you're age, im 6/1 and it hasent affected me in height what so ever! im currently benching 100 and jogging half marathons. Most lads our age just smash the weights out, but its important to be healthy all round. Hope it goes well.
Im seriously thinking of getting one of these but my dad thinks it will pull the top of the door frame off. Our door frames arent really sturdy, but can support some weight. Can you please tell me how much stress it puts on the top of the door frame when your using it? Thanks
@adamlax27 I've had it up for over a year now, and I've not noticed any damage at all. Of course, there is always the possibility of some occurring, it just depends on how solid the build quality of your door trim is.
is there a recommended minimal length of trim required? I live in apartment and the trim around my doors is only 1.5 inches. Also how long is this thing. My doorways are very close to the walls as well.
you are using a pull up grip with a chin up width. you should be grabbing the bar wider, as in outside the two vertical curving bars. it looks like youd need to adjust the pads for that. with the grip you have though you should be grabbing the bar underhand. that is called a chin up
it doesnt work the triceps at all.... not even a little. it's not just a variation it's wrong. the grip he is using is bad for multiple joints. when doing a grip that narrow you should be using some form of neutral grip or chin up grip
Ehh your position is wrong on the grip bar, the middle grip is for chin ups, the farthest grip is for pull ups. The pull ups your hand if facing away from your face, chin up is when your hand is facing your face. Hope that makes sense.
@jakejumpover there really isn't a wrong grip for pullups, chin ups, or curlups, whatever you like to call them. as long as you use proper form, you're fine. there's at least a dozen different grips you can do.
Dude what is a doorway trim or molding.? sorry I'm not an english speaking person and I really want to buy this stuff so I read the Iron Gym product details and it says DOORWAY TRIM OR MOLDING.
I like how guys who wiegh 115 say they do 25 pull ups and brag, I wiegh 192 and do 3 sets of 12, when i wieghed 175 I could do 20...so if your light of corse your going to be able to do all of reps
you know what you should do dawg do 10 like you said you can do then later on in the come again and try to do 10 thats what I do and I've been able to increase reps and blah blah so try it out
im 14 an di can do 10-13 of these but i weigh 100 pounds. thats light. but if i keep on tdoing pull ups will i still be able to lift myself up when u get heavier?
does anybody elses door frame screech when you use it? im a little worried about mine cuz it always sounds like its goona break it off so i dont do pullups with it
My 12 year old son bought me one for my birthday at Rite-Aid, and I really like it. He knew I wanted one, so, he had saved up his money and bought me it. We both use it, and it works.
Yes it did make it feel like a million dollar gift. My son and I have been using it since March, and it works, and I will cherish it because he bought it for me, and he couldn't wait to give it to me.
The great thing about it is that iron bracket thing isnt very necessary. I never use it, and i never have never had a problem with it falling on me or nothin like that.
Very true, I didn't use it at first, and I certainly don't take it with me when I travel. As long as someone isn't using ridiculously bad form, I'd be very surprised if it would ever fell off.
I always use it just to be safe. It shouldn't fall if your using proper form. The only way I see it falling is if you suddenly shift your weight forward and up. You should be safe though since its designed to go up to 300lbs.
No the bracket isn't even necessary. Think about if you want to travel with your iron gym. Are you really going to install/unistall that bracket everytime you want a work out? The iron gym is great support for your door frame and weight.
i dont have the bracket on mine! hahaha. i didnt know what it was, so i didnt put it on. you dont NEED it, but....i mean ive only had it fall on me once. hahaha. but it still holds fine.
im sure this question was probably asked before but this is safe to use in drywall assuming the one using it isnt heavyset because me and my roommates are having some doubts about the strength of the drywall and the last thing we want is to pay/redo new dry wall.
im 14 and when i got it i weighed 135 in October. i could only do like 3 back then. now i weigh 140 i feel like a beast when i walk around school. lol i could do 15 now so it really helps.
i lostcount bye how man y ican do at the gym as ucan see that 260 i ma is more muscle then anything lol but yea im sure this iron gym is more little guys then big guys lol
i mean it supports me good but it moves a lil when i do push ups and shit so i cant imagine tht shit fr someone tht weighs 260 but since ur like all muscly then u should go to the gym. beast the gym up. lol
Im 14 so is it okay if I do use this or am I not old enough? if I am can I get any tips on how long the exercises should be? any advice is appreciated! *dont mind the age that the account says I don't put out real info
I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to use it. Of course I say that without having any prior expertise in assessing Iron Gym safety for various age groups, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Seriously though, I'm sure it is no problem for you to use it. Just start slow and be patient with it, sometimes it takes a while to get solid numbers. Good luck!

wow.... don't watch these videos if ur gunna be an immature asshole. and LOL id like to see u upload a video of you doing a pullup or atleast half of 1 >: O
just got this product, fantastic idea. fits right in my doorway, even tho personally working out in such a small area can be weird. The workout positions you can do with this thing are great to use. Also the included food and fitness guide is also a great basic write up for anyone wanting to bulk up....
btw, dont use socket tools to tighten this badboy up, you'll break a bolt while tightening or while using the product. The tool included is more than enough to hand tighten the bolts down.
I'm 225lbs will this thing hold me and will it fuck up my door? I had to get rid of all my workout gear i have cuz i got a roomate moving in and have nowhere to put the shit so i'm switchin to a pushup,pullup, squat thrust and running routine. Looks like a great product. If it can hold me im walkin to walgreens and buyin it. Thats where i saw it.
I got one of these... I'm at around 8 pull ups. I only ever do the wider grip style tho. I still like the extra wider grip ones like they have at the gym with the slightly bent handle bars. I do the same as u do for dips, I use a chair. Also I've recently been doing handstand push ups. I guess theyre good for your shoulders.
this thing is awesome, but thanks for the demo...I didn't know that little metal piece was suppose to go there... LOL wow, I can only do like 3 pullups :)
I weigh a solid 272lbs. and when I tried doing pull ups the trim started making cracking sounds . Sit ups dont work either with this contraption.The only thing that works is dips and push-ups,maybe thats why the ab straps aren't included, because the trim on the door may not hold.
its your door frame.. dont go too rough with it... my doorframes are weak too, but i havent heard any creaking noises yet... a good thing is to switch door frames every other time you use it, thats what i do
should try doing wide grip pull ups bro, they do so much more for you. i remember when i first started the wide grip i could only do 4-5 now i can do like 14-15 when i'm pumped.
I have the Iron Gym and I could barely do 1 pull up or chin up. How can I use the machine if I can only do 1 pull up. Any tips on getting stronger and going to like 5 pull ups.
I started at only 1 or 2 pull-ups at a time as well. I just did them every day, slowly your numbers will increase. Now I max at 15 chin-ups and 12 pull-ups. You just gotta be patient with it, and do them as often as possible.
How did you get stronger only doing 1 or 2? did you do them more than once a day? I used to lift weights using the reps and sets method. Should I use the same method of doing 1 rep wait 2 minutes then do a pull up again. Please give detailed instructions. By the way I weigh 195 pounds and I am 5'9'' and am 16 years old. LOL should I make an effort to lose weight. I don't care about being fat. I just want to be strong.
Yes, doing multiple sets is a great way to get more reps in. I would do 3-5 sets at a time with about a 2 minute break in between. Usually now I do about 30 pull-ups before bed. A set of 10, a break, then 4-5 sets of 5-7 reps each. On any given day I average about 50-60 pull-ups total, but that is done through many sets throughout the day, mixed with other calisthenics - push-ups, crunches, squats, etc. Just keep at it, by summer you should be getting much better numbers.
HaHa, the weight option is up to you I'd say. I'm pretty light, only 165, but I was only 154 when I started doing these. Gained 11 pounds of muscle mass, and lost some fat as well, since I had to start tightening my belt. My goal weight is 175. And I'm practically an old man next to you at 31.
you thought u could do 50...hahahaha u dumbass shows what you know bro ...good tip for all you iron gym heads while doin wide grip pull ups try holding your legs in the pike position it works your abs at the same time and works the back a lil diffrent
I weigh 240 and it holds up just fine on the door. It displaces weight evenly along the frame therefore the door really isnt feeling your full weight but instead a fraction of it on different points.
Yep, it sure does. I only weigh 165, but I normally do these with a 40-60lb weighted vest on, and it doesn't phase the bar or the trim. That brings me back down to 3-5 reps per set, but it gives some quick results. Just be careful with that, first time with the weighted vest killed my back.
Yep, you gotta stick with it. If you can't do any right now you could start by doing "negatives." That is, use a chair to get above the bar, then slowly lower yourself down. That'll help you build up some strength so you can get to that first full pull up. Good luck!
im getting mine friday i can do like 3 pull ups from my friends and i wanted to ask if there is any other workout that can prepare muscle for doing pull ups like push ups maybe?

just got this product, fantastic idea. fits right in my doorway, even tho personally working out in such a small area can be weird. The workout positions you can do with this thing are great to use. Also the included food and fitness guide is also a great basic write up for anyone wanting to bulk up....
btw, dont use socket tools to tighten this badboy up, you'll break a bolt while tightening or while using the product. The tool included is more than enough to hand tighten the bolts down.

I'm 225lbs will this thing hold me and will it fuck up my door? I had to get rid of all my workout gear i have cuz i got a roomate moving in and have nowhere to put the shit so i'm switchin to a pushup,pullup, squat thrust and running routine. Looks like a great product. If it can hold me im walkin to walgreens and buyin it. Thats where i saw it.

it says it can hold 300 pounds safely, but make sure that your door molding can be strong enough

I got one of these... I'm at around 8 pull ups. I only ever do the wider grip style tho. I still like the extra wider grip ones like they have at the gym with the slightly bent handle bars. I do the same as u do for dips, I use a chair. Also I've recently been doing handstand push ups. I guess theyre good for your shoulders.

I weigh a solid 272lbs. and when I tried doing pull ups the trim started making cracking sounds . Sit ups dont work either with this contraption.The only thing that works is dips and push-ups,maybe thats why the ab straps aren't included, because the trim on the door may not hold.

its your door frame.. dont go too rough with it... my doorframes are weak too, but i havent heard any creaking noises yet... a good thing is to switch door frames every other time you use it, thats what i do

austin9511 3 years ago
should try doing wide grip pull ups bro, they do so much more for you. i remember when i first started the wide grip i could only do 4-5 now i can do like 14-15 when i'm pumped.
dopeness 3 years ago
Yep, I agree. I usually try to get in at least one set of widegrips a day. It's certainly a whole other ball game with them.

I have the Iron Gym and I could barely do 1 pull up or chin up. How can I use the machine if I can only do 1 pull up. Any tips on getting stronger and going to like 5 pull ups.
mbany92 3 years ago
I started at only 1 or 2 pull-ups at a time as well. I just did them every day, slowly your numbers will increase. Now I max at 15 chin-ups and 12 pull-ups. You just gotta be patient with it, and do them as often as possible.
justino307 3 years ago
How did you get stronger only doing 1 or 2? did you do them more than once a day? I used to lift weights using the reps and sets method. Should I use the same method of doing 1 rep wait 2 minutes then do a pull up again. Please give detailed instructions. By the way I weigh 195 pounds and I am 5'9'' and am 16 years old. LOL should I make an effort to lose weight. I don't care about being fat. I just want to be strong.
mbany92 3 years ago
Yes, doing multiple sets is a great way to get more reps in. I would do 3-5 sets at a time with about a 2 minute break in between. Usually now I do about 30 pull-ups before bed. A set of 10, a break, then 4-5 sets of 5-7 reps each. On any given day I average about 50-60 pull-ups total, but that is done through many sets throughout the day, mixed with other calisthenics - push-ups, crunches, squats, etc. Just keep at it, by summer you should be getting much better numbers.
justino307 3 years ago
correction lol I am 5 foot 9 and a half. And I weigh 187. LOL I lost weight without trying.
mbany92 3 years ago
HaHa, the weight option is up to you I'd say. I'm pretty light, only 165, but I was only 154 when I started doing these. Gained 11 pounds of muscle mass, and lost some fat as well, since I had to start tightening my belt. My goal weight is 175. And I'm practically an old man next to you at 31.

Wow in the video you look like your in your 20s
mbany92 3 years ago
you thought u could do 50...hahahaha u dumbass shows what you know bro ...good tip for all you iron gym heads while doin wide grip pull ups try holding your legs in the pike position it works your abs at the same time and works the back a lil diffrent
monssta8613 3 years ago

monssta8613 3 years ago

You're not supposed to go down all the way. You lock your elbows, which is not good for your bones and the growth of your muscles.

hey justino can you do demos for push-ups, dips, and using the ab straps as well?
chtbjunkie62 3 years ago
I weigh 240 and it holds up just fine on the door. It displaces weight evenly along the frame therefore the door really isnt feeling your full weight but instead a fraction of it on different points.
ThoughtSpeaker 3 years ago
Yep, it sure does. I only weigh 165, but I normally do these with a 40-60lb weighted vest on, and it doesn't phase the bar or the trim. That brings me back down to 3-5 reps per set, but it gives some quick results. Just be careful with that, first time with the weighted vest killed my back.
justino307 3 years ago
yeah it's supposed to be able to hold up 300 lbs but i would say if it's set up right and u don't over do it u might be able to get 350lbs out of it
crazymike959 3 years ago
you have inspired me not to give up because i got mie today and couldnt do any but ima keep trying
staone1 3 years ago
Yep, you gotta stick with it. If you can't do any right now you could start by doing "negatives." That is, use a chair to get above the bar, then slowly lower yourself down. That'll help you build up some strength so you can get to that first full pull up. Good luck!
justino307 3 years ago
im getting mine friday i can do like 3 pull ups from my friends and i wanted to ask if there is any other workout that can prepare muscle for doing pull ups like push ups maybe?

littlecc10: It will feel a lot better on your wrists when you do push ups on it, which will probably let you do more.
