As title, went in to see if they had any weights but only had these at £3. Had about 6 on the shelf. Possibly other stores too.
Gotta be worth a try for that price.

Was using mine just now before coming on here. The clear design flaw with these is that the heads of the bolts on the lower bit should face UP. I dropped it on my head the other day, ever so gently, then I thought my face felt wet and I had blood running down my face. It was really superficial but the other side of the bolt is flat and rounded. You can't swap them over as the recesses for the bolts don't allow it.
Nevertheless, they're great because you just just whip it out from under the bed, use it and put it back before your other half gives you grief for leaving your rubbish about the place. And one day you'll build up enough strength to face her in combat.

I'm not even that heavy but I've seen enough Youtube videos to put me off using one of these.

I'm 6.4" 100Kg held up fine for over one year, weekly use.
Scaremongering everywhere.

I had one and it was brilliant. Walk through the door and do 10.
Problem with them is you need a solid wall above the door, otherwise it pushes plasterboard in. Had to replace above the door I had it on. Though I am 70kgs

You can use these on some public bus stops and telephone boxes. Get your pump on when out and about. :sunglasses:

Adviced use on bustops with low frequencies, say 10 mins or more, or you just look daft!

I use one of these but they can crack the top of the door frame and you need a door with a gap at each side, not one side up against the wall as the handle will not fit in.
I have cracked two door frames within the first week but luckily the frame to my bedroom was a lot stronger and has been solid for well over a year now. Great piece of kit and this is a bargain. Just tie some socks around the bar where it pushes against the side door frames otherwise it will leave big marks and dents in the frame.

True, but just remember bro, you can't look daft next to opinionated out of shape people who use buses.

Yeah bro, they must have cheap and weak doorframes to match their cheap and weak bodies :sunglasses:
