Everlast door gym

Hi all. I was considering getting a door gym like this to help my training. Was thinking of mainly using it to add some resistance to my kicking. Any thoughts??

I've never used one, but I'm willing to go out on a limb and say it's likely just cheap rubbish.

Out of curiosity, how would you use it to add resistance to kicks? I ask, because it's always been my opinion that if you want to improve a certain move (kick, punch, etc.) you should just train that particular movement. And if you want to gain strength you should lift weights, or employ some other form of increasing resistance training. In other words the two should be kept separate.

 

Yup...look's flimsy as hell.

 

Thanks for the replies. Was considering getting it today as I've to return a chin-up bar that i got. Thing came with brackets that were way too big for a door. Should hold onto my money so ??
Cosmicfish - I was going to use it to try and train the specific movements/muscles used for my kicks. Doing squats and deads aswell but can't go too high with weight as I'm working out at home with no spotter.

 

I'd try and find a better chinup bar and buy that.

Chinup bar > that thing

 

I have one and it's awesome! Fits in well, sturdy and great for chins! GO for it!

 

They add variety to your workout. I use this one http://secure.gofit.net/view_product.php?product=238 myself.

 

I reckon you'll pull your door off!

oh right, this is not what i meant at all - i thought you were talking about a chinning bar!
