    Rather than pull up rack, anyone got experience with door frame pull up bars?

    • griffith 101 on 12/02/2020 - 15:29

      I had issues with a pull up rack that hangs over the door frame right from the get go. I hung of it for less than a second and I could already hear these unhealthy sounding cracks coming from the doorway. You have to make sure the door frame and the wall itself is strong enough. My interior is mostly a flimsy plasterboard construction and I wouldn't recommend them if your house is the same. I think, over time, cracks will potentially appear along the lines where the frame and wall joins up.

      The other problem is the lack of height and width. Your limited to narrow grips and it just feels very cramped.

      I've used door ones all my life, they are great for their purpose and I still use them but nothing is as nice as a good solid bar standing bar. The door ones flex a bit which i find makes reps a bit harder and less satisfying, plus if you're over 90kg it starts getting a bit sketchy as they usually have lots of joints.
      That said, they are cheap, pack up easily, and in my experience with maybe 6 houses and about 4 different types of bars, none leave any marks or damage.
      The best ones I've used so far was like 20 bucks from kmart or big w too fwiw.

      • fredblogs on 13/02/2020 - 13:45

        Thanks, do you mean this style?

        As in, you have to pack it away after you're finished?

        • 900dollaridoos on 14/02/2020 - 08:22

          yep thats the style I like using. you only have to pack away if it's a door you like closing.

          That style is really useful too if you are able to put it in a door way that you use all day. Eg at uni i had it on my bedroom door which i would be in and out of heaps every day since I did most of my work from my desk. This means you can get loads of low intensity reps in which is the best way to build up your total max. Doing pull ups to failure is actually not as effective.

    • ihbh on 18/02/2020 - 20:49

      Door frame pull ups (e.g. the ones you've linked to) cost 1/10 the price, take up 1/10 the space and you'll most likely use it 10x more if you place it in a high traffic area for you - I have it in the upstairs landing where I pass multiple times a day.

  • RangaWal on 12/02/2020 - 14:42

    Bugger, was hoping they had light, individual dumbbell sets.

    Honestly I recommend getting a quality equipment this is your life and people do die with equipment breaking. and a quality equipment will last a lifetime. It will be more expensive but quality equipment is will outlast you.

    • nomoneynoproblems on 12/02/2020 - 17:11

      Dramatic much? The type of folks buying this equipment won't nearly lift enough to a. Warrant life threatening injury and b. Lift enough to even come close to stressing the equipment. Users will quickly out grow the stuff for sale here.

      • 900dollaridoos on 13/02/2020 - 12:37

        At what weight would this squat rack stop being useful?

        Edit: Answered my own question, its rated to 250k for squats and bench press. I dont see myself blitzing past that in a hurry.

  • sheepdog on 12/02/2020 - 15:01

    Before buying this stuff, I'd just look into what a year's worth of gym membership is at your local cheap place. Sure, its inconvenient to go somewhere but the quality of stuff life this makes it mostly a waste of space. Alternatively, just buy second hand - people get rid of gym sets as often as they do broken bikes.

      These also don't tend to sell out so they usually go on the clearance.

    • unelectric on 12/02/2020 - 21:32

      If we assume $16 to be the average price for a gym per week then that's $832 of equipment you could buy. Easily doable on FB Marketplace & Gumtree. Then you can lift in the comfort of your home

  • shrodes on 12/02/2020 - 15:03

    Damn was holding off for a cheap barbell but between the limited amount of weights and the weight of the bar itself (5kg!?), this doesn't really inspire confidence.

    Anyone know of any other good places to pick up a barbell and some weights on the cheap?

    • flopsy on 12/02/2020 - 17:31

      Unironically Gumtree. Even poor condition stuff can be restored back to new if it's quality.
      Best prices I've ever seen were from liquidated gyms on auctioneer sites, though they were being sold in big lots.

  • sauce2k6 on 12/02/2020 - 15:08

    probably need to factor in the cost of buying additional weight plates too

    Squat rack could be ok, but the barbell set looks terrible.

    • flopsy on 12/02/2020 - 17:38

      The price isn't even bad, it's just a stupid kit. If they used a 10kg bar and added a couple 5kg plates it'd be alright even for a fair bit more money. Maybe a good set for women looking to add free weights to their workout?

    • SpeedRunnerLink on 12/02/2020 - 17:39

  • iamconstipated on 12/02/2020 - 18:30

    Is the squat rack easy to transport? Will it fit in the back of a Corolla? Or will I need a ute/trailer?

    • mskram on 12/02/2020 - 20:43
      +2

      I bought one a couple of years ago. I transported it in an i30 but I had to take it out of the box first. The sides are/were one piece so long with a wide base. I lay down all the seats including the front passenger seat and put it in narrow-end first. I'm not sure whether they've changed the design since.

      • BuyingStuffIDontNeed on 14/02/2020 - 11:52

        Did you manage to get this yourself using a trolley? Or do you really need a 2nd person to help.

        • Giraffe on 16/02/2020 - 12:23
          +1

          I managed to load it myself using a trolley a couple of years ago. Just had to take some time to lift/slide it into my hatchback. I would assume with the design change that the boxes won’t be as long so therefore should be even easier to load.

  • ozbjunkie on 13/02/2020 - 12:35

    I predict the most intense workouts performed with these items will be picking them up on purchase, and returning them.

  • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2020 - 02:11

    The squat rack looks decent. It's not really a replacement for a gym, but you can do quite a bit of free weights on it with a few extra tools.

  • chewchew on 19/02/2020 - 18:32

    Will this be available in any ALDI ? I don’t want to miss it.

  • muzzy1907 on 22/02/2020 - 17:49

    Can anyone report back if squat rack can be used for benching?

    • baileyj on 22/02/2020 - 22:53

      Picked one up today. Will assemble tomorrow and report back.

      Had the same version of this rack for 3 years (sold 4 months ago to upgrade), and had no issues with it.
      I’d call it a “half rack” only because while there are safety bars, the potential is still there to fall forward and off the rack/bars while doing squats. - still way way better than doing solo bench or squats without a rack and safety bars!
      But I never had any issues with it, other than bench presses. You can happily do them in this, but if you have a wide (or maybe even average) width grip, your elbows are going to start cleaning up the safety bars each rep. I found I had to go with a slightly narrower grip than usual, which actually turned out to be ok as it worked my chest more than arms anyway.. def worth the relatively low cost!

    • baileyj on 24/02/2020 - 00:46

      Set up the rack today, here's what I can tell you:
      - you cannot place the J hooks where the sleeves are. This will be a problem for some people when benching, depending on their bench height and arm length.
      - for me, it's fine. I'm 178cm, and my flat bench is 470mm high. The J hook position just above the sleeve is perfect (for me) for racking the bar for bench press.
      - my barbell (bought at Aldi previously, looks to be the same as the one currently on sale) is too short for this rack. No big deal for me as I was already looking to upgrade, but check first if you're planning on buying the barbell set and rack together.
      - overall I'm very happy with the purchase. Value for money is excellent, and I'm confident this will serve me well for a couple of years at least.

  • CheeryCheapskate on 23/02/2020 - 13:48

    I've been weighting for this deal!

    Just picked up a barbell and dumbbell sets to replace my old ones (old ones were rubber-cased plates which I'll donate to a charity store). I knew this before buying but the weight plates are slightly different size to standards so they won't fit onto common barbells (for those that want to mix and match i.e. originally I almost got two dumbbells to throw onto my current barbell but the centre hole is too small to fit.)

  • [Deactivated] on 25/02/2020 - 14:37

    Does that bench go flat? I honestly feel like a flat bench and interchangeable dumb bells are the best value for a home set up.

    As I was searching for Aldi, I saw these 2
