SO I am thinking about restarting my p90x..I have been working out more and think I am ready to start this now..only I want to do it with the real equipment..I tried it before with the excersise bands..and it sucked..i didnt feel like I was doing anything..and it just didnt work out.

So I need a chin up bar (one you dont have to mount) and some free weights. I know I could buy them..but I also know there are so many people who buy them then abandon them...so I was wondering if anyone knew of someone who is getting rid of them..for free or cheap-ish. I looked in the classifieds..and saw one set of weights..but it was far more than I needed..I simply need a few weights..like a set of 20's.....and a set of say...35's....and maybe a set of 10's. That should get me through...I have checked ebay..but the shipping for weights..is understandably high..They have em at walmart..but last time I checked they were like 2 bucks a pound...and a nice chin up bar... Any ideas? Someone has to want to contribute to a girl getting ripped..I know I would :)

ideas?

I would suggest looking in the classifieds. I'm in need of some weights myself. I need 15's and 25's for arms.

Oh - and if you have two small weights (8's or 7's) hold them together for combined weight.

I have a chin up bar that hooks on the door frame that we no longer use. I bought a free standing chin up bar for the gym in the basement. $20.00 and it is yours.

As for weights, I buy all of mine from Dicks. They run $.89 a pound. Sometimes they run a sale on them for less.

Good for you, Im going to start back up in January. The first time through went great and Im maintaining my weight loss. I borrowed the weights from a friend and used bands but I broke them. The door chin up bar worked great.

I was at Dicks on Saturday and they have the pull up bars you hook into your door frames...i wouldn't think they were that expensive...

No not at all.

I bought the Power Tower from Dicks for my basement gym. When I framed out my basement I used metal studs for three reasons. Moisture will never be an issue. The are straight as an arrow. And they are half the price of wood. So by doing this I can't use one of those over the door chin up bars. I had one for my bedroom and then when it was time to move downstairs I had to by something different.

So I bought this.

I built a pull up bar and bolted it to the floor joists in my basement. Solid as a rock :yay: I'm doing metal in my basement too, but my gym area is going to be unfinished for awhile longer.
