Here’s a quick little article for all you chin up fans out there…

Do you now and then question why you’re not competent to do MORE chin ups/pull ups? I know one of the most discouraging and hindering things when I started doing them, is that I could only a couple — when everyone around me was capable to do 20 and more.

Imagine getting your gear together, heading to the gym, getting changed…all to only be capable to do 2 or 3 pullups. It was finelooking frustrating.

The thing is, like any exercise, you have to BUILD UP to it.

A quick solution: use a chair. Put one leg on the chair for support, keeping it close or far (farther is harder), and probabilities are you’ll double your max reps.

Do that long sufficient and you’ll be capable to get rid of the chair altogether.

Remember…you gotta walk before you may run;P.

NOW, this brings me to a topic which is somewhat related.

Doesn’t it suck having to go all the way to the gym, JUST to do numerous pullups?? I mean, it’s such a simple exercise. Intuition tells you that you must be capable to do it anywhere.

Well, there are persons who agree with this. They’ve devised something called the joist mount chin up bar.

Unlike their beastly brothers at the gym, these little babies are a type of wall mounted chin up bar. And, they are as sturdy as anything.

The joist mount chin up bar is once in a while equated with another “at home” pullup bar, called the door mounted pullup bar.

Let me save you a little time: the door mounted pullup bar is not good at all. Apart from demolishing your door frame over time (it uses the door frame as support), it leaves stains on your wall and is made of questionable materials…

If that wasn’t enough, there have been reported cases of the door mounted chin up bars actually FALLING DOWN. I don’t recognise regarding you, but when I’m doing a pullup the last thing I want to thing with regards to is going knee introductory into the floor with my head shortly following.

You need to have something that will stand the test of time. The joist mount chin up bar provides…

Imagine not even having to leave your house to get a high quality upper body workout in. How regarding just banging out a couple quick chin ups whenever you feel like it.

Exactly.

    We had to scale this one out here because the pullup bar SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS. about 15″ from the wall. WTF??!!??!?!? i tried ONE k2e and hit the back of my head on the wall. So instead, we did 30 leg lifts on the ground.
    Our pre-wod mini-wod was a 1K row for time.
    Andy – 3:14.1
    Ryan – 4:01.4

    Then after 10 minutes or so later, the wod:

    Andy – 15:33, 24″, 30 leg lifts for k2e

    Ryan – 19:34, 18″, leg lifts

    Steve – 22:35, 18″, leg lifts

    I am going to push for a new pullup rig. have fun!!
