26 Apr - Proof (215:365)
This is the first pullup I've ever managed to perform in my entire life. My exercise program is pullups, pushups and squats 3x per week and tabata sprints once a week. I decided to keep it simple with bodyweight exercises so it's easier to do when I'm travelling on business.
The pullup bar is homemade out of 3/4" galvanized steel pipe and joins from Home Depot. Think of it as tinker toys for big boys. :) Simple plans are available through google. I coated the bar with spray-on rubber grip.
The total cost was about $50 in materials. This was less than the $75 + shipping it would have cost for a pullup bar with welded joints. The el-cheapo $20 Gold's Gym bar came apart within the first day (one of the lag bolt heads popped clean off).
