Last year I took up the hundred push-up challenge. Two times I attempted the challenge to no avail my joints,shoulders, elbows and wrists didn't cooperate.
Two weeks ago I bought the extreme gym chin-up bar. This is a devise you hook over the door frame to do various exercises. The first day I did five sets of four chin-ups for a total of twenty. Yesterday I did five sets working to exhaustion each time and did a total of 37 chin-ups. I alternate on days between the chin-ups and the next day pull-ups to work different muscle groups. The pull-ups have increased even better than the chin-ups going from 5 to 16.
This device comes from several companies I opted for a generic version and am really happy with it, I bought it at Aldi's for twelve bucks. Real improvement with no pain can't beat that.

Oh, this brought back memories! We had something like this when the kids were little. It was great fun.
ReplyDeleteBob,
ReplyDeleteI bought Jimmy one of those for Christmas. Wish I had heard about the generic one.
Bill you always find something at a reduced price after you've already spent to much.
ReplyDeleteAn addendum to Murphy's Law, I guess you could call it Bob's Law.
Great work!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have access to a chinning bar. Bodyweight exercises have been quite effective for me. All I do for my chest now is push ups and all I do for my abs is sit ups. The results have been pleasant.
