Love your attitude and easy tutorial

Bar + Rings life!! Love the simplicity of the setup

After seeing this video and one from Simnett Nutrition and one from a couple named Nick and Katie, along with the reading some comments, I have come to the conclusion that- The best thing to do would be to stick to a minimum of 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet in depth for each post. Each post should be an 8 x 8, not a 4 x 4, especially if you plan to possibly want to be a little more rough with how you grab onto the bar, or run and jump at it for example. You should have 2 people for the job if you can. You should make sure you have some little scrap wooden pieces and screws so you can use them to make the posts stand still as the concrete sets in around them. Make sure you use a leveler when setting in the pipe. If anything has to be exactly level, it should be that pipe. The posts should be cedarwood or heat treated so that they last a really long time (a decade or more) The diameter of the pipe is usually 1 inch thick from Nick and Katie’s and Simnett nutritions and in Nick and Katie’s, the girl seemed to be able to pull herself up just fine on it so- it must be a good size for just about any man for sure. As for how high the bar should be, it seems like you’d want to have to extend yourself just a little bit to grab onto the bar so you don’t feel like your feet may end up touching the floor at some point or even high enough to where you gotta give a little “hop”/jump to reach onto the bar. For me at only 5’7, a bar around 7 Feet would suffice around this sweet spot. 7.5 might be a little too high but we’ll see. (this is why having two different pipes at different heights like you comes in handy if anything. The pipe shouldn’t be less than 60 inches in length. A 70 inch pipe in place looks a little bit better in terms of space to grab onto in case you wanna run at it and grab onto it but I love how at 60 inches, yours looks more minimalist. It doesn’t take up much space and it gives it that professional “park-look” I’ve seen at my local parks many times. The base could look way better and professional if you used a sono tube to shape the concrete nicely. It’s not entirely necessary to drill holes all the way through each post to put the bar through but I’m guessing you did this so that you could… Actually, I’m not really sure why you had to drill all the way through because I didn’t really get a close look at the holes drilled or how the flange looks on your bars. I think I I saw the flange on the outside of the posts. I would love to actually be able to slide my bar in and out, moving it to different heights but be able to secure it in it’s new position but I think this might be asking for too much. Hopefully you’ll let me know if that’s what’s the case with your bars and why are you screwed all the way through your posts. Thanks man.

And how would you go about security the bars? 8 inches is huge, 100mm is plenty thick and I'd go with 2 inch pipe.

Nice. Good to see a legend of calisthenics is still cranking.

This guy's positivity:) I'm a curmudgeon but dudes great

Greetings from ireland. Well done great job .

You the man,Man

Can you share the plan?

I have a serious question. I like this design but I'm on a budget. Would it be cheaper if I just make it out of only galvanized pipe. No wood.?

Looking good Alkavadlo

You earned my sub! Nice vid!

Thank you for this video. I've been trying to learn more regarding wood working and working out. I figure I can do this... right?

How do you secure the pipes so they don't roll when you grab them ? Or does gravity take care of that

Thanks man

Wow. That’s someday dreams back years gym

Thanks youuu

good idea, al!

Great stuff !

Thank for the help bro

Alright now how should I go about doing this in Phoenix without leaving skin on the bars 😂

awesome

Dope. The wood will rot soon tho. Next time make a base w a sono tube and use a post connecter w bolts. Also 8x8

I get the somo tube idea but what’s the post connector with bolts for? Is it supposed to connect the posts together or is this gonna be some thing that connects each post individually to its concrete base?

good video, no BS. Subed!

Thanks for this

You can use pipes instead of the wood posts

Smooth as Ice and Twice as Nice !!!!

Thanks!

How hard is this stuff to remove? I’m currently renting, and have a quarter acre yard, but unfortunately only one tree. Will wait till I buy my own place to make stuff like this, but for now I will at minimum need a post to attach the other end of my slack line to. I Guess you just dig it up, smash the concrete and throw it away…good thing I have a 15 lb sledgehammer! With just one it should be doable in a weekend I guess? If I fill the hole with soil and plant grass before I leave hopefully the land lady won’t be mad…

I'm planning this but my auger goes only two feet down I believe. That's seems like a lot of cements. I hope mine works

Nice !!

Hey mate just wondering how tall you are might try and build something like this in the garden. Looks really cool!

What is your weekly workout routine?

How do you mount the piping, as to stop it from rotating?

Nice!!!

How is the bar secured in the posts? Some bituminous paint on the base of the posts wouldn't hurt.

How do the wooden posts not rot in the ground?

I’m building this in my village

Love the brevity of the video and the style of the rig. Maybe I don’t need to spend 2k after all. Question for you - can this withstand things like kipping pull-ups and muscle ups?
