I hang rings from p-bars to do decline rows (feet elevated). They allow the grip to be varied while pulling - which helps reduce the risk of wrist and elbow injuries I used to get during that exercise.
Great video! I’ve had everything but the ceiling or wall mount. Fortunately, I have an apartment with 15’ ceilings so the squat rack is my preference. I kept the portable system to give to my son. The bars, I sold, since there are parallel bar attachments for the squat rack.
Thanks Paul, very helpful. I can't wait to make a fixed outdoor pull up bar at my new place, as stable as possible for dynamic muscle ups and ring use.
Hi Paul, had a quick question which was triggered by your saying about how you don’t like the multi-grip pull-up bars, and prefer straight ones. My question is should I be able to dead-hang with chin-up grip? (Eg palms facing, as opposed to pull-up grip being palms away). I do lots of passive and active hangs and pull-ups in pull up grip, but just realised the other day that I have poor range of motion in chin-up grip. Perhaps due to poor lats mobility? What should ROM be in chin-up? Right down to deadhang or not? I don’t want to train something if it is not a natural range of motion, but also am wondering if I’ve got poor lats mobility which could do with fixing? Many thanks if you answer, but I also just realised as I typed this it’s a bit cheeky asking, so no probs if you’ve not got time to answer from random strangers!!
Hey, great question! Yes its much harder to hang passively with supinated grip especially with thumbs wrapped and I would see it as a progression to the standard version. Most of us don't hang enough so it makes sense to recommend the pull up grip but if you have more experience then go with both options, plus single arm and even some brachiation. Ideally with the Chin up we should be go from a full hang at the bottom to chest to bar at the top
@@PaulTwyman thanks very much for the answer. I’m out training now and from your answer have realised getting hangs from all angles and one arm is a good aim. Basically go full ape! 🦧 it’s a good little extra goal to add in. Cheers!
You have a nice gym at your home. My cellar is way to low for mw to be able to install anything for cali there 😢. Out in the yard I have something for my girl I can use of though.
@@PaulTwyman I was wondering how you keep all that stuff that clean 😀. I was just renovating my cellar and transforming my garage and the stuff I need to get back there fills a very large trailer.

In the US, I recently moved to a condo so had to downsize my setup from the CAP pu bar/squat rack (
Yeah having something that is portable is great!
great video as always Paul !
Glad you enjoyed it

Sounds great! So cool to have a fixed stable bar with good clearance. Thats what i'm missing
@@PaulTwyman We will be in the mountains at the new place so plenty of green space and maybe a view too. Just gotta ignore the bugs!
that red pull up bar seems great, where can i find it please ?
yes, same here! for my garden!
Thank you 😊
Welcome!

Thanks, I need to sort the other side of the garage as hide all the rubbish behind the camera!

Hey mate, could swear I saw a video on how you made your ceiling pull-up bar but can't seem to find it?
how tall are you, and how high is your ceiling?
Standard ceiling height and I’m 169cm
Hey mate what squat rack is that? From sumo?
No this one is from Flex Fitness
What’s the width on that squat rack, looks big! Most squat racks are not as wide as my dedicated rogue Mil pull up bar stand
