[back
to budget body equipment]
The
other day I want to Home Depot (the birthplace of most of my
equipment) and picked up a 4" garage door pulley. I little bit of
rope with some PVC pipe for handles and I got myself a new piece of
equipment. You basically lift your feet off the floor and alternate
one arm down, one arm up... I barely got 8 reps to each side and
definitely felt the back and bi workout. You could leave your
feet on the ground and lean back if your full bodyweight is too
challenging for your level of fitness.
I also lowered the strap
to do the same motion in an inverted plank position to work more of
the middle back (row). The pulley portion can be hung directly
from a clip and eye-hook set-up, but I like using a lashing strap so
that you can adjust the height, as well as hang it from any cross-bar
or tree branch.
If you
don't want to be bothered doing the assembly portion of this thing,
I'll send you one that's ready to hang. Cost is about $10 plus
s/h and I'll get some numbers on the s/h shortly. I'm looking
for some testimonials so that I can determine the interest level. Let me know what you
think... (give
Pete feedback)
