Thanks for the comment! If you check 11.28 on the video I show a brief snippet of putting the bar down into the low mode. It’s pretty easy to lower it, just have to push each side of the bar alternately, bit by bit until you get the holes to match up. It probably takes 2 mins. Hope this helps. Cheers again for the support 👍🏼
Great review. A few questions - How high is the lower height and how easy is it to move up and down? What are the exact measurements on the floor when the legs are folded up? Do you think you could use it for TRX exercise if you keep your feet on the frame or if you put weight plates on the frame? Thanks!
Thanks for the positive feedback 🙏🏼 The lower height is 112cm. It's fairly easy to put up and down. You just have to wriggle the bar a little to slide it off/on and line the pins up to the holes. When stored it's 74x85cm. Yes, I think you can definitely use a TRX. Essentially, it's going to be similar to using rings. I will say, if you are doing body weight rows where you are standing and leaning back, you will definitely need weights to stop the other side from tipping. I hope this was helpful, thanks again for the questions.
Great question! I would say yes, you technically could do it, although I have never done it. You would definitely have to have some solid weight on the base of the Big Bar, otherwise it will tip when you start to lean forward. Hope this was able to answer your question. Thanks for the question, really helps the channel 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Technically, yes you could store them outside. However, I would store them away from rain or at least under a cover. I would just be worried about the metal rusting with the liquid. So I would say the longevity would be impacted if always exposed to rain. I used to store my B-Bars outside in a verandah. It was under a cover, but still in the open. The B-Bars are made from the same materials as the Big Bar. They did get rust over time, but work perfectly fine. Basically to sum up, yes you can, but I would keep an eye on them for rust if you do. More so, for the longevity, but they won't actually break if you do. Hope this was able to help. Thanks for the question 🙏🏼
Great question! In my opinion, I would probably go with the big bar if doing pull-ups is your primary goal. You can use bands and other progressive exercises to work your way up to pull-ups. The Big-Bars would be too cramped, but it caters to other exercises better. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@HealthFitnessTech thank you for the advice! I mainly wanted one for Pull ups. But now also for dips and inverted rows (both with rings) as well as leg raises. B-Bars seem great for dips, but I feel like L-sit/knee to chest pull ups would be difficult for me to learn with correct form as a beginner. Ring dips aren’t easy either, but probably easier to learn I think.
Yes, I think it sounds like a good option. You can even buy cheaper dip bars as well, if you have the room. All the best on your pull-up journey. Be sure to let me know how you go in the future, if you decide to get the Big Bar.
Thank you for demonstrating how the big bar handles swinging and kipping. You are the only review video to show this.
Thanks so much for the great feedback! 🙏🏼 I'm glad the video was helpful for you 👍🏼
Excellent review! I just wished you showed how to adjust it from high to low (I am interested to see the work involved and how much time it takes).

Might have missed it but can you do something like pelican curls on this where your body is more forward from the rings and not directly under the bar

Would this be something that you could store outside? Like leave continually set up but exposed to rain?

Do you recommend buying the big bar over the b-bars if I'm completely new to pull ups?

Maybe I missed it, but how tall are you?
All good 👍🏼 I'm 5ft 6. About 169cm, I'm quite short 😂😂

Thank you, I'll take that compliment ☺️
