Frictional Resistance Exercise System and Methods of Use
First Claim
1. A frictional resistance exercise system comprising:
- a plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members;
a plurality of door mount assemblies, the plurality of door mount assemblies being adapted to fit over a door edge and extending to at least one of a door front surface and a door back surface allowing a door to be closed when coupled thereon, each of the plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members being coupled to each of the plurality of door mount assemblies;
wherein the plurality of door mount assemblies comprise a first door mount assembly coupled to a door edge and a second door mount assembly coupled the opposing door edge, the first door mount assembly being approximately aligned linerally with the second door mount assembly; and
a rope, the rope having a first end and a second end, the rope being slidably coupled to each of the plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members.

Abstract
An improved frictional resistance exercise system is disclosed. Typically, the improved frictional resistance exercise system includes a plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members and a plurality of door mount assemblies. Each of the plurality of door mount assemblies is adapted to fit over a door edge and extend to at least one of a door front surface and a door back surface allowing a door to be opened or closed when coupled thereon. Moreover, each of the plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members is coupled to each of the plurality of door mount assemblies. A rope having a first end and a second end is slidably coupled to each of the plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members. Exemplary exercise routines for use with the improved frictional resistance exercise system whereby the resistance can be varied throughout the range of motion of the exercise routine are further disclosed.
