- A number of subscribers have asked me about my portable pull-up bar.
So, I've made a video of the how, what and why.
This pull-up bar has travelled around Australia and is not over 2 years old.
It's awesome for training outside.
It's build from 42mm Galvinised pipe and a number of different connectors.
Base bars: 1650mm
Cross bars (pull-up bar and the support bar at the bottom): 1400mm
Upright bars: 2200mm
Small Angles Support Bars : 850mm
4 x T-Junctions
2 x Right Angle Junctions
4 x Adjustable Junctions
Total cost at the time of purchase: $540.08
I got all of the pipe and junctions from an Australian company: hammersmith.co...
Absolutely brilliant, thank you for taking the time to create this video and share with us! Thanks from the UK
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful video. And people are all talk and no action when you ask them to join. It shows you who are the real deal with their health.
hahahaha... it was always entertaining to hear the old fella's brag about what they used to be able to do.
thanks bro . been looking for a good quality DIY pull up bar like this
Glad I could help
Awesome setup, I love that you tighten it with an allen key instead of screwing it by threads. It's on the pricy side but most likely going to last a lifetime!
It was a little $$$, but it's defiantly built to last.
wouldn't threaded be much more secure though?
@@Magic_Mirror_Music, the allen keys are threaded bolts that clam down on the pile.
Excellent video. I discovered your channel when searching for a DIY pull-up bar, and then saw that your other content looks perfect for what I want to get into. Sustainable training... that's it! I've been thinking about getting some gymnastics rings for a while too, so I'll have to watch your other videos.
When you shared your story about escaping from Byron and buying a 4WD and travelling around Australia, I thought, "wow, we have that in common." Then I looked at the view from your yard in the background, and I was thinking, "that coastline looks very familiar." Actually I'm pretty sure we have the same view, except you're looking north over the bay while I'm looking south towards the cliff. Talk about coincidence!
On another note, I've been looking at the Hammersmith website, and their 34mm round galvanised pipe looks like it could be the go for me, as I want my wife and kids to be able to use the rack I build, so the 42mm diameter pipe will be a bit big. I like your idea for improving it with a rectangular base too. Might have to try that. Keep up the good work!
No way. Sounds like we've living in the same area maybe.
Feel free to drop me an email: stretch@tstmethod.com and maybe we can do some training together at some point.
Keep me posted on your pull-up bar.
Awesome to hear that your kids and wife are also into training.
Man I love you . Thank you so much for uploading this video
It's my pleasure
So appreciate this. Thanks much!
You're welcome!
Legend thanks for this mate
Happy to help
This is fantastic!
thanks!! Glad you found it helpful.
TOO TOO C👊🏻👊🏻L.
Headed to Lowe’s tomorrow.
TH🙏🏻NX
You're welcome.
Put some foam on the feet, i'm pretty sure it would help on hard ground.
Like foam tubes, pretty sure you can buy foam sheets and make your own custom.
Was it galva pipes or scaffolding parts you bought ?
Thanks for the tips! Galva pipes
What about left/right lateral stiffness? While you aren't actively swinging to the left or right, it still seems like it could deform and fold over.
Shouldnt you have a couple of angled supports for the left/right? 🤔
Not needed at all. The bar at the bottom and the pull-up bar are enough to stop sideways motion. I've done bar muscle-ups and gymnastics rings routines on this set up with no sideways movement,.
@@TSTMethod so no planar rhombus shaped flexing?
Sounds like there isn't any askew twisting between the pull up bar and the bottom bar either then?
@@MushInSkullif there was, I wouldn't be doing this on the bar: ;-)

Just found this!
Happy to hear it!
is it level at the top
Yep
Looks good 💪🏻 any options to put a dip bar on it?
There are T-Junctions. So you could potentially make a dip bar. I just use the gymnastics rings for dips.
Do you have any ideia if I could use a project like these but to do an aereal rig structure?
I can't see why not. The height of the structure will determine the width of the base. The higher you go the broader the base will need to be. You might also want to put a low supporting angle bar and a high supporting angle bar for extra stability.
Can you use a narrower diameter galvanized pipe? Or would that cause too much flex?
You could. It's about finding the right joiners to connect them together.
You could try to go thicker for the base and uprights, and then a narrow pipe for the actual pull-up bar.
End Caps would have bring it to the level of the T junctions
How rigid is this setup for toes to bar or muscle ups?
Works fine.
what's the total weight of the rig?
no idea dude. Not very heavy. I can lift it an move it as one. The pipes are hollow.
At a guess 40kg
Well if its pricey cant you just buy one already built?
If you can find one that flat packs and you can assemble in less than 10minutes that cost less than $500AUD.. Go for it.
