Reddit reviews Stamina Door Gyms

I spent most of my high school years playing video games, jacking off, and reading. None of my time ever went towards anything productive and as a result, I became severely depressed to the point where suicide was my only option. I hit 20, and things didn't seem to get any better. I tried going to the gym, and would kill it for about two-three weeks only to get hit with a wave of depression and sink back to old habits. At some point, my girlfriend decided to break up with me. She couldn't grow with me and I was holding her back because of my negativity and lack of discipline. Every day I would wake up, barely eat, not do anything but play video games or smoke weed and after two years she was sick of it.

Eventually I found this book and picked up some small habits explained such as:

1. Drink WATER, lots of water as soon as you wake up and right before bed
   
   
   
2. Create a simple, easy, MORNING ROUTINE: Here's Mine:
   
   Wake up (no alarm)
   
   Drink water (A LOT, it wakes you right up)
   
   Play music (upbeat pump up jams)
   
   Stretch (GET THAT BLOOD PUMPIN)
   
   Pullups/Pushups (bought this pull up bar)
   
   Clean room in between pullup sets
   
   MORNING SHAKE (recipe bellow)
   
   Morning walk/listen to ebook (so many great apps with free books about motivation/success)
   
   get home, meditate
   
   breakfast (usually oatmeal with almonds, fiber one bar, soy milk, and two bananas)
   
   Then I do whatever is on my todo list...usually this starts around 930.
   
   
   
3. DIET: I drink veggie shakes in the AM with chia seeds, flax seeds, kale, spinach, dates, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries first thing in the morning. I eat vegan except for the occasional fish at work when I'm underfed.
   
   
   
4. SLEEP, I began to take this Sleep aid which regulated my sleep pattern. I sleep at 10 every night and wake at 7, no alarm clock.
   
   
   
5. EXERCISEL: I created my own routine that has been working incredibly well and I finally feel confident enough to take off my shirt. I work out 6 days a week and ignore most bro-science shit out there and just listen to my body.
   
   
   
6. GOALS: I wrote out what I wanted to be in life: I chose, Bartender, Cook, Fit, MMA Fighter, DJ, Artist, Traveler, YouTube Star
   and work on these every day as much as possible.
   
   
   It's been about 2 months of steady discipline and things have been great. Almost at 700 subscribers on youtube (cooking channel), have released 5 mixes on soundcloud. My drawing skill has greatly improved. Gained about 8 pounds (recovering from anorexia) Sleep at least 8 hours every day now and have listened to many great ebooks.
   
   
   My advice is: start with small goals such as increasing water intake or eating more clean. The small steps will always get you closer to your goals as long as you don't stop
   
   heres a tip: download "audible" for a smartphone and sign up using an amazon account. You get a free trial where you can download 2 audiobooks. Use that to listen to Gorilla Mindset every night as you try to sleep. Pair that with the sleep aid, and you're on your way to a better sleep
   
   SLEEP AID INFO (copied from other comment)
   
   The sleep aid itself isn't a magical sleep pill. In fact, it has these ingredients: Melatonin, Gaba, L-Tryptophan, and Vitamin B-6
   
   Benefits of
   
   Melatonin
   
   Gaba
   
   L-Tryptophan
   
   B-6
   
   
   I started by taking 2 of the sleep aid pills which is 4mg of melatonin but that barely helped. It wasn't until I stumbled upon this thread suggesting I lower my dose and surely enough after I switched to 2mg I felt a great change. An hour after I take the sleep aid I'm sleepy and drowsy. Of course, you can stay up on it and it wont knock you out, but if you're genuinely trying to sleep it will make a huge difference. I recommend playing a positive audiobook outloud (GORILLA MINDSET) while you sleep and I promise you'll pass out either from boredom, or tiredness. Plus you get a book read to you? HELL YEA

Thanks <3

We have low ceilings too, and I believe we have this rack.

As for pull-ups, we have one of those doorway mounts.

Oh yessss

Just finished walking around with a tape measure, and found the one that fits.

Winner winner chicken dinner

Thank you for the solid advice

I got one that hooks into my door frame off amazon for $40

edit: why the downvotes? This was an awesome find for apartment living for me http://www.amazon.com/Stamina-Doorway-Trainer-Black-Chrome/dp/B000HBUNAO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421640046&sr=8-1&keywords=doorframe+pull+up+bar

Abs? Every day. Your core is working constantly to stabilize you as you go through your day to day activities, adding in some extra core work every day is fine.

Chin ups, I'm less certain on, but I'd think that you'd want to at least have a rest day following each day you're doing chin ups, especially as you add volume. Someone with more experience feel free to comment on that. I've got this pull up bar and it works just fine, no damage and I'm about 180.

I'm looking into buying a pull up bar but I've recently dropped from 260 to around 250 (6'6" 23M). This one on Amazon mentions a 250lb weight limit.

Does anyone have experience with this particular problem and do I have to worry about weight limits? There's another rated for 300lbs but it looks a little more clunky.
