Hi guys,

This workout brings you a new creative way of doing pull ups if you don’t own a pull up bar. Most of us don’t have the option to install a pull up bar in our homes, because it requires drilling holes into your doorway and not everyone wants to decorate their home with a gym equipment. Sure you can buy the Perfect Pull Up bar which just hooks into your doorway and works off of pressure that you create by grabbing on to the handles and pulling yourself up, however that also requires the perfect doorway. Just to let you know, I fell once using the Perfect Pull Up. It wasn’t a bad fall, but it did hurt my butt and it did scare me. I don’t have the best door way for the removable pull up bar, so Jesse ended up installing one that’s permanent in the doorway of our bathroom. I’m also someone that had a punching bag hanging off of the ceiling in the middle of my living room. That was almost 10 years ago when I lived in Prague, but I’m still weird that way. The good news is that you can work on your pulling strength and your back muscles, without having to modify your home, and in ways that are non-traditional but still very effective. Watch the workout video and give it a try yourself!
