I’ve been tempted to get a wall mounted chin up bar and whack it outside however seems so much faff

I was thinking about that earlier, I might be able to swing something like that in the garage. If I was going to put something outside, I’d just use my rings and hang them off a tree.
Can you post a pic of power tower? I have one and can’t imagine how you could be hitting the jewels on it. Can you just face outward?

It’s this model. If you notice the curve on the uprights, there’s about 2-3 inches max between the bar and the back rest so you’re pretty much guaranteed to scrape yourself up and down it on pull ups facing in either direction.
Gotcha. It just seems like scraping your ass woyld be better than the alternative

It’s just an irritant to avoid the scraping. Think I’ve found a decent park about a mile from my house and that I pass on the way to work that has decent pull up bars, dip stations, GHR etc. Seems like an easy solution to either park up there, jump out and get my pull ups, swings and anything else i decide to add to my daily work done or even to run there and back if I want a full workout.

You have a park with a GHR? I want to see pics.
Well I’m debating running there tonight once I finish work so you might be in luck, if you excuse the poor lighting.

@Bagsy missed my first bus home so got in at 10 minutes to midnight, run did not happen. I’ll take a snap next time I’m there.

Are you in the US? I think you are but I could’ve just assumed that.
Titan has this.
I’ve been tempted to get that since I lost my pull up bar when I switched racks. I do pull ups outside on rings on occasion but I’ve definitely neglected them.
Transformation Challenge week 6:
Weighed in at 198.2lbs, which suggests to me that last weeks reading was a total balls up somehow and that I’ve basically stagnated for 2 weeks. Makes total sense since I’ve definitely been hit and miss with nutrition these 2 weeks. These two weeks have been pretty “full” and that seems to lead me to make poorer choices.
Training wise: 2 full sessions, 2 full runs and some other stuff. A couple of aborted sessions, but I’m not too gutted about either of them. Only part I’ve really let myself down on is the daily swings.

Still under 200, so that’s progress right?

Almost a total lack of progress, but that’s fine. If I don’t do the right things, I can’t expect the right results. Maybe a couple of maintenance weeks makes sense after 3 weeks of big weight drops.

Well, then you’re missing out on the sweet Titan deals. Sorry, bud. I guess you’ll need to find some scrap materials and a roll of duct tape.
