I workout from my bedroom (work from home so I have 3-4 hours of slacking every day). I have a bench press and dumbells which gives me a good workout and have seen some good progress. Only thing that makes me want to gym it up is that I can't do pullups or dips. Is buying one of these things worth it? Can get it for about 150 brexit dollars which ain't that much and yeah I got space.
Yes, purchasing a pull-up bar or a dip station can be a good investment if you want to target specific muscle groups and vary your workout routine. However, it's important to consider if the cost fits within your budget and if you have enough space to store and use the equipment. Ultimately, the decision to buy it or not will depend on your personal goals and priorities.
I'm in a rented student property. These things come in parts can be be dissasemlbed so I can take it with me anywhere I go. Money ain't that much, 1 day of wages and space is a certain.
Is there anything I can do (chin ups) to get myself ready for pull ups? I feel like my back muscles are 0 after 4 years of slacking so I will probably struggle to do 1.
Literal bot post lmao
This, some jackass is copy pasting the questions to ChatGPT and pasting responses here lol.
Listen bro, pull-up bars and dip stations are for pussies. Real men train with rocks and logs, that's the SwoleShack way. Invest in a good pair of lifting shoes and hit the park for some calisthenics, that's how you get swole. No need for fancy gym equipment, the great outdoors is all you need. Remember, true gains come from grit and determination, not plastic toys.
squat rack costs the same and is more useful
Don't have space for that and all else that comes in it in my bedroom.
Get one, it's much better than using a door frame bar.
I have an A-frame folding bar in my bedroom. Works great with gymnastics rings, and I can fold it against the wall.
Pic unrel, wanted to upload a picture of the bar but moot says the filetype is unsupported
>A-frame folding bar
I googled it - looks handy. This or something similar to what I linked?
I have the one made by Khanh Trinh. It's a little bit pricey but well made
>work from home
I would buy one solely for the ability to do dead hangs through out the day and unfuck my shoulders/posture
>dead hangs
red pill on on how this will help, keep in mind i know nothing about this
grip, endurance
And posture? Would it make me look better? What about muscle gain or help doing more pullups?
dead hangs will ease the compression of your discs, you'll literally become a little bit longer
>grip strengh
>fixes posture
>helps for pullups if your a begginer
>Can get it for about 150 brexit dollars which ain't that much
You should be able to pick one up on eBay/Gumtree/Marketplace for £20-30.
I want to get a pull up bar when I move into my own place but I really don't like these power tower style setups with the Roman chair. I'd like to get something that's just an open pull up bar but there doesn't seem to be many good options. The only one I'm aware of is the baseblocks big bar but it isn't tall enough to deadhang from (only 82 inches). Would I be better off just getting a rack or half rack even though I can't bolt anything down? The titan t3 half rack and full rack have a 90 inch option and the full rack has a multi grip add on that goes even a little bit higher above the rack. I really just want a simple pull up bar that I could also use rings on without any of the other nonsense. Are half racks stable without being bolted down? I really have no interest in having a barbell or weights and a bunch of equipment in my apartment in the near future so not sure if a rack makes sense; I want to do pull ups and use rings on something that I can get reasonably close to a full deadhang. I don't like door jam pull up bars. Should I just bite the bullet and get the power tower?
>Only thing that makes me want to gym it up is that I can't do pullups or dips.
Get some wood rings then.
Yes, anon. Get the tower.
Do deadhangs every day.
Get a stool to step into the top of a pullup and slowly let yourself down.
You'll get there.
Also total aside, but I just realised this week I can coom from pullups on one of these.
Literally coom just from time under tension.
Feels good mang.
