Pull up bar at home (and climbing rope), no sliding and little set up work

[Mongothegr8]

great idea. You could screw a jar lid into the loft opening at both sides to keep the pull up bar more in the middle. If you cut down into the edge of the lids to give you a U shape,it could be moved when you wanted to .

[giammira]

@Mongothegr8 That's really good thinking too and more sophisticated. However, it adds work already to the pull up bar set up (not really avoidable for the climbing rope...), whereas I intended this video as "a rough set up" for people willing to exercise but not so much to drill and shape things for the purpose: it's enough having an opening to the loft made in that fashion...

[CrossfitRJG]

Crazy strength, keep it up!

Check out my channel, i just made a PULL UP VIDEO!

[giammira]

@CrossfitRJG I just realized about your comment months later (not checking so much my video no more isn't it ?...). Ok, I don't actually show my "crazy strength" in the video but thanks...

[Devonmsmith]

I take it the iron gym can't support your weight?

[giammira]

@Devonmsmith.. Iron gym? Noooo: am I so heavy? (Where did I imply that?.) I am just a normal 90 kilos guy. The sliding was due to the smooth surfaces. I mind also about not spoiling them. As for the possible snapping of the loft entrance frame, it depends on the quality and age of the material .. . The video is more about finding a better setting where to exercise at home, mentally (e.g. see around) and phisically (free movements, stretch out the legs all the way, no cheating possible etc...)

[smooman7]

DANG! Talk about 'creating space'...very cool, bro! Dude made a gym in a closet!!! I bet this guy could escape from alcatraz....

[giammira]

@smooman7 thanx man, gym in a closet, Alcatraz, you made me laugh, well yes I can be cool when I....feel cool, about what I really like yes I can. I just hope I'll never need to escape from Alcatraz though.......lol

[THEXAV21]

cool yo,

creative

[giammira]

@THEXAV21 Thanks man. I feel this clip just about getting old in my mind though, I'd need to get creative again, but it's as if back then I had more mind and time to be so... That time will come again though, I know this...

[giammira]

@AmericansSexualPreds Your nickname means something good or...?

[projectbeard]

this guy is crazy yo

[giammira]

@projectbeard I take that as a compliment, about content and tips, or I wouldn't take it at all... . Being crazy at times is good, in this world on noisy louzy and boring individuals full of fear to be too different or...indifferent, whichever but fear. As for my way of speaking, yeah... I was trying to pose professionally (with some irony too...). But let's you genious try to speak a foreign language on an unprepared topic holding a camera pointing at yourself, then you'll tell me about...

[projectbeard]

@giammira well that's good because i intended it as a compliment, i enjoyed the video a lot. and i figured that you were foreign

[giammira]

@projectbeard Ok... yeah and then maybe I was a foreignr even about how the "crazy" term gets normally used in US...so I took it as a compliment but was having doubts... . Glad you enjoyed the clip

[MrJacobSK]

hahahahahaha your funny :P

[giammira]

Yeah MrJacobSK I guess so,... . I think then and there I was...

[elgusano73]

ok whatever borat

[giammira]

Yeah, a bit of his beard and speech, it could be. Fact is that I love Borat carachter, but that's just a carachter a fiction, whilst I am real...

[rossdabossda2k6]

@elgusano73 u r really ignorant!

[giammira]

Ignorance or not it doesn't bother us, does it? It's all about gym anyway. For countrymates I am going to remake this same video in Italian (only the speech, I can't remake the video itself anymore) and sure I will spot many... ignorant or Borat not catching a word of it... Peace over and out...

[Elements07]

Does the pull up bar extend on both ends in order to fit in the frame??

[giammira]

This bar is extendable only on one end, though the result being the same as if it was extendable on both ends, I dare believe...

[looneysolidsnake]

i have bought the same one! but they all look the same! -.- lol

btw. can you tell me why the two screws are in the middle of the bar?

you can see them from 05:03

[giammira]

Yes they are like standard. The two screws I don't know, should they be where? Recently I started having a problem as the bar doesn't come off but spins (probably I fixed it too hard and something happened) so I can hold it only on the point of least resistence and it just adds to the difficulty... . What about these screws then?

[rashb]

Wow cool idea. When I move to a house I definitely might try the rope thing. That is brilliant safety net with the pull-up bar. I remember with all the exercising I do, trying to climb the rope at Venice beach. Climbing rope is no joke. That and gymnastics rings. This is good out of the box thinking .

[giammira]

Cheers man. Venezia beach? Lol...(?). I haven't committed yet on the rope. For what I tried, I can't climb it hands only or I need some help or rest with feet, but I must say I'd need more space to try it without knocking on stuff or against the wall or helping myself with it. I'll have to clear the area under the ladder, hang the rope in the centre of the hatch and replace it with a thicker one (I got one my brother had but it's too short so I joined it to the other, but so far...messy result)

[giammira]

Si da' il caso che sia girato all'estero e concepito per un pubblico internazionale, anche perche' in Italia non sono cosi' tanto interessati alla ginnastica a casa o comunque troppo pochi hanno il tipo di botola e solaio che qui descrivo. Quindi....vedi di aggiornarti o adeguarti un po' amico mio....

[markthomas899]

I found this interesting and very entertaining lol

[giammira]

Cheers man, as just uploaded it's a good start. I thought of filming it again with a more professional approach and pose and explaining better why the original hatch door must be replaced (the pull up bar is there instead) but then I realized it's more enjoable like that and left it. Anyway, have total freedom in my place, do you think others wanting a pull up bar indoors would be interested in my idea?
