We call it the arm hangy machine, I believe.<BR/><BR/>On ours, you get to stand on the bar instead of kneel on it.<BR/><BR/>I always feel very macho doing pull-ups, and with these things you can make it feel more like flying than like doing pull-ups. And even with the easy weights, it's surprising how quickly your (my) muscles get used up.<BR/><BR/>If for some reason you can't pull yourself back up on our version of this machine, you can take one foot off and back up onto the steps and use the remaining foot to control the ascent of the bar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
