    Thank you for this inspiring video.
    Not only have you shown me it is possible to build your own "Jungle Gym" but you two guys managed to show many varied exercises in such a short space of time.
    I now know I am missing out with just my door ledge pull up bar and want to upgrade to something like your setup.

    "Bing-Bong", next stop,... the top!! You guys rock with this set up. Great job, the setup looks real sturdy and you can even improve on it later. No excuses, now, get that $!!!!

    Indeed, we were suppose to get it this year, but the city didn't have the budget. After sending them some mails here and there, they told me it will happen early 2013. Will be hanging there every day :)

    That move at 1:46 is cool, looks similar to a bent-over row. Like a harder version of an australian row since the legs aren't taking any weight but your torso is supine and the pull is horizantal.

    @curiousturtle1 Thanks! I wrote an article on my blog about learning to do a pull-up. It should be easy to find if you do a google search for it.

    I see some kids toys around. Some day some person will talk about the cool dad he had who could build anything and was super strong. Way to go! (Some of that pipe fitting could have been done at a welders shop for cheap. Just a sugestion..;.)

    Great looking pull up bar...I'm not a great DIY'er but I may try to build something similar. Thanks guys.

  • @nozrep
    @nozrep 10 лет назад +4

    Holy crap ya'll make muscle ups look so friggin easy, not to mention all the other stuff.....i'm still tryin to develop the strength. I got chest to bars but not the transition part yet.

    • @Fluffisnoterm
      @Fluffisnoterm 7 лет назад +1

      techsan08 hey man, did you get the muscle up in the meantime?

    • @nozrep
      @nozrep 7 лет назад +2

      i did! thank you for asking. i was able to do single muscle ups without stringing them together by 2015. but then in 2016, i injured my left shoulder and lost strength in the rehab. currently May 2017, i am fully rehabbed, but i now i am building my strength back. i can do chest-to-bars again and i am really close to doing a muscle up again! it has always been harder for me, i think, because of my body type. i'm tall and i have a long torso, and "skinny arms", so doing pull-ups and those kinds of exercises seems to have always been more difficult to build strength in, compared to building strength in squats, for example. thanks again and best regards!

    • @Fluffisnoterm
      @Fluffisnoterm 7 лет назад +1

      It's awesome you got them! I'm sorry you got the injury, though. All part of the game, and whatnot, but still always a bummer. But, I'm glad you're back on the rise, bud. Keep it up! :)

  • @djaponezu63
    @djaponezu63 13 лет назад

    Very nice! Bars look thicker than the ones you train on in the park. The whole system is very sturdy, set deep into the ground, I bet it's got zero oscillation the way it is built, solid as a rock. How does the grip feel?

  • @ouss6232

  • @dolcca
    @dolcca 11 лет назад

    thank for the information man! i agree with, in the gym they have thin bar which i didn't like it at all. in fact, i want to build a pull up bar which ofc for back workout, but at the same time i want to workout my forearm and grip. that's what i m looking for! :)

  • @alkavadlo
    @alkavadlo  13 лет назад

    @82Bdog No immediate plans for parallel bars, but you never know.

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo 11 лет назад

    The bars need to be DEEP in the ground to maximize stability. The bars in the video are over 4' deep and mounted in several thousand pounds of concrete. You may have to build a large base for your structure but it will still not be as stable as putting it in the ground. Good luck!

  • @FrankDelventhal

    @AboveElevated 11 лет назад

    I don't know if you reply anymore, maybe someone else can hlep but... I have a small backyard. the problem is that there is no grass or anything, it's all planks. How can I build something like this there?

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo 11 лет назад

    Build it a little higher than you think. It will make your whole body stronger. Having to jump just a little can be advantageous.

    P.S. you two should have an arm wrestle haha

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo 13 лет назад

    @WidjajaRyan This bar came to about $500 for everything--that includes some tools like post-diggers. You couldn't get 6 months at a gym in NY for that! Thanks for watching.

    1:32 what is the diameter of that blue bar???

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo 11 лет назад

    Two inches. Standard pullup bars in gyms are often half that thickness. Fat bars build make stronger hands, forearms, and GRIP POWER.

    @djaponezu63 Good lookin! It's a 2" grip, about 1/2" thicker than the park. And IT'S SOLID INDEED. Check out Al's blog for all the specifics.

  • @alkavadlo
    @alkavadlo  13 лет назад

    @tubinjpasc We didn't do any welding. The bars were fabricated by a local metal-smith. All the info on how this was built is in an article that can be accessed by clicking the link in the description.

    @djaponezu63 Yeah these bars are thick, which makes everything harder but also that will hopefully make us stronger! A lot of the details are discussed on my blog. The link is in the description.
