Gravity Boots?

[Wolfhound]

I was wondering if anyone else has gravity boots from the company "Hang-Ups"
My boots say the weight limit is 250lbs. I've used them a lot while I weighed 250 but now I weigh 262. Has anyone ever tore them out of the wall? I'm sure it will be safe I just wondered if anyone thinks different.

I have some, but highest weight I have ever had up there was only 220

I wouldnt take the risk man. That would be some painful shit if you were to fall down. There are alot of other things that you can do w/o the gravity boots.

That would be lame though if you really enjoyed the gravity boots.

I don't use them for situps as much as I use them to just alleviate pressure off my spine. I'm just wondering if I should bother to put them up in my new apartment. I guess I could get my girlfriend to use them. hehe

Yeah man. If it were to break, then you would be totally fucked. Because 260 pounds landing on the top of your head will screw you up real good, we are talking like broken neck and such.

i wouldnt risk it. I feel that hanging with your hands for extended periods of time works similarly if you completely relax. Takes some getting used to though.

Are those things good for ab work? I was thinking about getting some.

They are for me. Plus, it gives your back an amazing stretch

I forgot the name but they sell those boots attached to some sort of bed (looks like the ab lounge from tv, lol) that does the same as hanging upsided down with inversion boots but safer

Bout to buy me those new gravity boots and that doorway rack. Is it a bitch getting up there on it? I am not very flexible, long stupid legs.

Nope its east to get up there. It comes with instructions. All you do is lift yourself up (on the first bar)and then put both of you legs (on the second bar) and then you life your legs so they can lock. Very easy but pretty scary when you do that for the first time

Yeah, they have an inversion table or bed from the same company. You just sit down, lock in your ankles, pull a lever and you can actually set the degree of inversion to what you want. It expensive though. I got my set up for 140 bucks.
I think I'm just going to set up the inversion bar I have and nail some 2x4's directly under it. That setup should be able to handle at least 300 lbs

I can't wait to order mine.
