    Still find myself sharing this video, Thank you AL!!

    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.

    @surfing222 Thanks! Danny's now got a lifetime membership at the best gym in the neighborhood - and it's right in his backyard!

    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 :)

    @lukevinn Thanks! I just checked out some of your videos - you've got a great set-up!

    You guys are beasts, awesome. Nice build.

    That was awesome! Gave me some great ideas. thx for posting

  • @tyciol
    @tyciol Před 12 lety

    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.

    @palletjack612 Před 12 lety

    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..;.)

  • @alkavadlo
    @alkavadlo  Před 13 lety

    @TheGreatAristo Glad you liked the backyard pull-up bar! Good luck with your home gym (and your full body suit!).

  • @alphacouriers
    @alphacouriers Před 13 lety

    Nice, my girl has the same wendy house as yours (seen at 3mins) Wish I had the same strength as you 2! Something to inspire me maybe - strong design - keep it up!!

  • @alkavadlo
    @alkavadlo  Před 13 lety

    @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.

    Thanks for the excellent ideas. Nice solid construction that will last for a while.

  • @YTBT

    "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 $!!!!

  • @nozrep
    @nozrep Před 10 lety +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 Před 7 lety +1

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

    • @nozrep
      @nozrep Před 7 lety +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 Před 7 lety +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! :)

    • @nozrep
      @nozrep Před 7 lety +1

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo Před 11 lety

    Free bar park is good stuff!

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo Před 11 lety

    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!

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo Před 11 lety

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

  • @dawalli
    @dawalli Před 14 lety

    Awesome work Al! That bar looks great!

  • @pcbeachable
    @pcbeachable Před 13 lety

    @OfficialBarstarzz It's definitely become one of my most popular! Thanks Barstarzz!

  • @grasshopperflores
    @grasshopperflores Před 12 lety

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

  • @djaponezu63
    @djaponezu63 Před 14 lety

    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?

  • @AboveElevated
    @AboveElevated Před 11 lety

    Aaah, damn. I won't make one then... My town is building a new trainignpark in early 2013 which is free. Bar park :)

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo Před 14 lety

    @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.

  • @madnero12
    @madnero12 Před 12 lety

    Good work. You'll get lot stronger with this station, than with weights, don't you agree?

    That's cool I'm gonna do that one day. You gonna build some dip bars too?

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo Před 11 lety

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

  • @dolcca
    @dolcca Před 11 lety

    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  Před 13 lety

    @jclaudeinc The clamps are called "Cheezeboros" - read the article linked in the description for more.

  • @alkavadlo
    @alkavadlo  Před 13 lety

    @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.

  • @DannyKavadlo
    @DannyKavadlo Před 14 lety

    @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  Před 12 lety

    @bearsquad1 Dig them deep into the ground. And check out the link in the description for more info on how we built this set-up.

  • @alkavadlo
    @alkavadlo  Před 14 lety

    @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.
