Ripped and Ready

It just sounds so amazing. We even considered ordering two. What would the neighbors think???

I'm talking about the Maximum Fitness Gear All-In-One Doorway Chin-Up Bar with Bonus Top 20 Exercises To Six Pack Abs Guide. Whew!! You basically get a workout just saying it!

Background:
Somewhere amongst the endless infomercials, my beloved half stumbled across the commercial for this ingenious concoction. The people who are in this commercial on YouTube made me feel like a gelatinous whale swimming in an ocean of melted butter. (You're welcome for the mental image).

I could only imagine what people would think when they came over to our house and saw the jungle gym hooked up on the bathroom or bedroom door. Maybe for fun, we could each take turns showing off our succulent muscles. I would need a monthly subscription to have gallons of body oil delivered to our door so that we could rub it all over our ripped bodies.

So of course, I started looking towards my beloved Amazon. What would I do without it?? At the delightful price of $29.51, I clicked my way to happiness. Boy of boy would he be so happy!!


Outcome:
Within two business days, the almost 4' box arrived. I saw the UPS guys checking it out as he walked down our driveway. I knew by the way he was eye-balling it I knew he too wanted to get ripped. He brought the box in and set it down since I had my hands full with the blabbering baby.

Now the question stood, where to put it? The problem with our vintage home was that some of the doors happen to be flush with the wall. DUMB! So there was really only one option - over the bathroom door. When Sam got home, he was SUPER eager to begin using it. He tore open the box like a kid on Christmas morning and assembled it as quickly as he could, but leaving the bolts lightly tightened. In the living room sprawled out, was to be the machine that would turn our bulge into beauty. It sat. And sat. And sat some more until it was time for me to vacuum and get it out of the way. I stashed it away in the office, so that none of our friends would see 'failure' laying on the floor.

One sunny afternoon, Sam finally got up the courage to attack the fabulous body changer and tighten all the bolts. After about 20 days, we were finally ready for a make over. Yet it only took 10 minutes for him to set it up, use it, and get tired. Yes, getting old does make doing chin-ups more difficult. Nearly impossible in fact.

So now we have this amazing tool that was meant to make us look sexy like something in a West Hollywood bar, but sadly it's dusty handle bars were too lifeless to create any excitement. It's appearance was now dull, as we had no way to get 'ripped' without breaking a sweat. The bar remains to be utilized, but the details are not yet established. Maybe a few more 'sample' sessions are needed between man and bar in order to achieve ultimate happiness. May this story of dedication and heroism inspire all to invest in the Maximum Fitness Gear All-In-One Doorway Chin-Up Bar with Bonus Top 20 Exercises To Six Pack Abs Guide and share this fabulous experience!!!

Until next time, cha-ching!!!!
