Also was thinking about chin-ups. I know press ups can come hard to people but from what I remember about chin-ups they are kinda the epitome of damn hard work.

I used to have a house with beams in, many years ago and I could manage a few then not so sure now if I could do any.

Got nothing here to try with either...dont think OH will appreciate me trying to pull myself up on the curtain pole!:rotfl:

Do you ever see anyone at the gym doing them??

Hi, I have had one of these for many years as I used it when I trained to join the Army. I havent used it for a long time but the brackets are still in the door frame Anyway a very cheap and easy solution to having no where to do it Have seen the ones to put in the garage or garden to in mags that have there own stand but they are over £100+ so not really mse style

I been gym again today even though I was aching and feel loads better for it. Gonna have tomorrow off then get back on it Sat. Have my uncles b-d party Sat :rolleyes: gonna aim to drive there and back so I stick to coke as I never bother with any beer now if I am driving I am a trucker by trade so can't afford to be caught even if only a couple of pints it isn't worth the risk :cool:

I try a few chin ups at the kids playground when I take my son, there's usually a climbing frame or some other suitable apparatus there

They are extremely tough, I'm not much good at them
