@MrKoreyk Thanks for the view. Hope you feel better about yourself after that comment.

@HO1ySh33t I think we may be talking about something different. The way I do them there is no surface to rest your elbows on and nothing to put your feet on, I cross my legs behind my body.

[HO1ySh33t]

@Landsurfer92 I did door pull up long before bar pull up. I always found door pull up easier, since I have some foot leverage, and I can "cheat" a little by resting my elbow on the surface.

Of course, there's this fact that I don't know how to swing with bar pull up. When I had my hand on a pull up bar, my form is already good enough to not try to cheat anymore.

[Landsurfer92]

@HO1ySh33t No because when people do pull ups their bodies swing, even if they do them slow they still swing. Try it, see for yourself. I can do way less door pull ups than bar pull ups

[HO1ySh33t]

@Landsurfer92 Would't touching the door with your toes/knee give you a little leverage, making it easier?

seriously? nothing better to do than hate on someone for posting their fitness accomplishments? seriously, who is he posting by showing off a little, what's wrong with that? it's inspired me to give it a shot, so +1 for ssonicbooger, what have you done productive today?

Nice scorpion back bro.

Do you do door frame pull ups to train, or was this just a joke? If you were serious, When you first started doing those, did it hurt your fingers? Did your fingers get used to it?

@ssonicbooger Hey, I specifically searched for door frame pull ups cuz I can't afford any pull up bar equipment, plus I wanna work on my grip for rock climbing. That's great that you can do that! Do you do any specific exercises to strengthen your fingers?

[Landsurfer92]

Do those on top of the actual door. You'll have to wedge something between the door and the wall so it doesn't swing around. With your body not being able to swing around plus the friction of your body against the door they're much more challenging.

@ssonicbooger

I actually can't do that, my hands are not strong enough and keep slipping from the door frame
