    Highly recommended for those you prefer body weight functional exercises or just like to mix things up.

    I'd go with gymnastics rings or this http://www.lifelineusa.com/IW_Produc...=010.040?a=565


    These are way more versatile...at least from the pictures. But good call on the suspension idea. I used to do dips with gymnastics rings when I worked at a gym and they were brutal and very, very awesome.

    Anything that causes you to use more stabilizers will always add something different to your workout.

    True, of course with a little "know how" one can make their own...not that I am condoning such a thing.

    true true. i like the idea of them ... i do admit that my elbows often ache a bit after chins or hanging leg raises. not sure if those would make a difference or not, but it would be worth a try if i didnt have to spend a hundred bucks to find out.

    Canvas shipping straps cut down and looped threw iron hooks = $7.00 perfect pull-up.

    Perfect pushup . . . I tried to make one, but couldn't wrap my brain around the mechanism with redneck-parts.

    get some of those lazy susan table/spice rack spinnner things and gorilla glue some large D handles to them.

    True. This is a cheap alternative for challenging pushups: elevate the feet and push up while gripping a ball.

    Perfect pushup is actually pretty good. I own a set.

    I've always been slightly concerned about the "Navy Seal inspired workout chart." What does that mean exactly? Did Mr. Popiel have a wet dream about the Seals, then wake up and make this chart? Eww!
