wiggum Posts: 35 Joined: 2003/10/28	2003/11/03, 05:46 PM i dont have a chinup machine or a chinup bar at home, which is where i workout. Are there any exercises i can do that can substitue those that involve the chinup bar? or can i do my regular workout without the chinup part in the morning and then stop by the local park and do my chinups on the monkey bars? yes i know it sounds funny but im trying to work with what i have or more like, dont have

Chin ups are one of the best (IMO anyway) exercises you can do and you don't have to have expensive equipment. There's a lot of us started doing them on playgrounds are on the clothesline pole, fire escape, or... you get the idea. A piece of galvanized pipe and a couple of plumbers hanging brackets are pretty cheap though if you have a basement or garage to use.

If you have a garage, shop, shed or anything with eves in it. You can lye a bar across the top supports. Make sure you tie it down so it doesn’t roll about. Its by no means perfect but it’s a start. By the way. Wishing you well Warmly ChanceDog
