I need a pull up station, NOT a pull up bar, because I plan on doing bodyweight dead lifts in the middle of summer AND winter and jungle gyms just dont cut it in the fall and winter obviously. Im only 5’9 and Im in toronto if that helps.
Any ideas please? Could I just go to like a landfill and pick up some discarded metal bars and like get them welded together? Or do I just buy one of those big coat racks and remove the wheels on the legs and weld on a steel platform for each of the legs??
Thanks to anyone who answers.
Edit: oh sorry forgot to add that I live in an apartment so I cant screew in anything cause its illegal . also those pull up bars that use thresholds to stay put are also not enough for me because I plan on doing some absolutely looney stuff on that pull up station lol.
and by Bodyweight Deadlifts I mean this: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/SjqhGRQcMJE
I also plan on doing this: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/EVCeuFlBRHc though I have no idea what the exercise is called but FlexyDave showed it to me and I fell inlove with it. And Ill even be swinging while Im upside down like that. AND Ill be doing abdominal curls or 'upside down sit-ups' (if thats what theyre called) as Im upside down like that.
And Muscle Ups.
I have one of these for climbing training. Pull ups, hangs, levers, pushups, etc. Can also secure my 25kg plate to it in case I fall on weighted pull ups.
Edit: Oh, and I've managed to get my hangboard to hang on and off it. So between that, the spray wall at the climbing gym, and a few little grip tools, I've got everything I need for arms, shoulders, back, core, and finger training.
Very cheap for all the stuff that can be done and just sits in the corner.
Thanks . I didnt even know that such a pull up station existed. I always so those MAASSIVE ones which were shaped like a cube and had many handle bars. I forgot to add Im looking for something as cheap as possible so this a plus.
Yep. Definitely got designed by someone living in an apartment sick of going down to the gym after work and paying for it and hated the idea of paying for a doorframe bar. Just the pull-ups alone have wide, normal, or hammer grip.
The design is just a few welds, pads, and brains. I.e. maximising with smart minimalist design.
Edit: The push-up handles are for form, but are also for bands to assist endurance pulls. It's so well thought out for like $100 USD. Built for 300kg and doesn't budge on dynamic movements. Also easy to breakdown for moving house.
Clearly, I'm a big fan. Granted, I'm a rock climber only, but we do more pull ups than anyone.
