What do you think of this equipment?

I've seen this pull up bar in the January sale in Sainsburys:

Does anybody use one - and are they any good (particularly worried about being the heavier end of the weight limit. Its not my house so I can't install my own bar, and my god I don't want to have to explain it if I pull down a doorway!!

And I randomly found some of these in my clearout today:

... anybody use them? I had dismissed them as a not very useful part of a kit I bought for the weights. Now I'm looking at a new angle, and they sort of give a half decent bit of resistance if I stand on it and do bicep curls.

Thoughts on both of the above appreciated. Man, you can tell I'm feeling much better from my cold and can't wait to start proper workouts again!

No idea about the pullup bar, but the bands can be used for the all important mobility. Check out Mobility WOD for some neat ways to use the bands and get your stretch on.

Ditto on the bands! They are awesome!

i've got that bar and it's pretty good, just make sure you get the pads the right way round or you'll have a little dent in your doorframe
