but once I got it put together, it rocks!

I can hold onto the forward grips and do leg lifts to my heart's content. I'll have some abs for days with this.

Can't figure out how to manage pullups, but I think that is because an armoire blocks the door on one side and I don't really have another location.

Still, hanging on the grips feels fantastic - my spine hasn't been this loose, strong and pain-free in years!
