Solid hardwood, duc tape, a few shonktastic amendments, and a great bit of resistance training equipment is born.... not sure the weight, but heavy enough after a few shoulder presses and upright rows.....

So it's just me that's quietly impressed by the ingenuity.

Is that another homemade contraption at the end of the grey mat?

give that a name, create an ad to show on daytime telly (with the obligatory buff folk using it) and you'd be rich idave... combine it with your diet as some sort of holistic approach and you'd be even more so!

Do you use a big hairy handbag as a dumbell? Ingenious...

Are you sure those copper clips on the handle bars are tight enough to stop the whole thing pivoting and smacking you in the chin ?

I like it btw, although I would prefer to have a nice comfy bike seat on the end instead of the D handle - so I could sit down for a breather every now and again 🙂

I think you should spend less time taking the piss out of my gym equipment and more time hanging your pictures.

the handlebars aren't for push ups ernie, that pleasure comes from the pivoted bars as spotted by yeti boy

they're for all sorts of other things....

Ah, that was going to be my guess for their use too!

Whilst others might not appreciate it, I think those pics quite clearly demonstrate that you know a thing or two about fitness training.

OK, so first proper workout effort and the handles need changing. maybe garden gate handles aren't ideal.......

Is this the next big thing after singlespeeds, fixies, and cyclocross?
Just run along the trails with a set of handlebars and some wood.

Not just "some wood" ........ table legs.

Although I suspect iDave is working up to the day when he can run along the trails with a set of handlebars and an entire dinning room table.
