5 years and still answering to comments you are legends
I'm just trying to be polite xD thanks for noticing 😍😍
Well gyms are closed so let’s get to building
Just built mine over the last 2 days and it's wobbly as fuck.
Big facts
Did you put it deep enough into the ground?
@@BarRookie 1 meter into the ground in a 35x35 cm hole. 100 kg of concrete mix in each hole
might have to do this because with this corona bullshit the only work out I have right now is going running and jump rope
I would have liked to see you do at least a couple of pull-ups on that!
probably broke in half
@@notlookinforahug Guess what, it didn't xD
@@BarRookie great. Keep it up rookie
I can only imagine how wobbly that thing is. Cheap isn't always best option
@@BarRookie should have put evidence of it not breaking in the video 😂
uv been making these quality videos for two year but still only have 570 subs? 😮
Man youtubes been cruel to you guys.
Thank you for your awesome comment! I really wish it was more too, but for me it is about the fun of making videos. In time this channel will grow! xD
And then put everything in the ground? That should work too. And it will indeed be a confirmation that everything is securly in place. While doing that, you can even screw the empty buckets to the wood as well. That way you'll be sure they wont come loose either!
I don't think that will be stable enough. You would want a larger base for that. The smallest amount of swing will make the construction fall over. Unless you have very large buckets that are also very wide.
@Dan Don put them in the ground, your face will thank you!!
I just installed a 4x4 post with a 1 and a quarter inch outer diameter black iron bar that I painted with forest green Rust-Oleum enamel. My bar is about 9 ft above the ground. The posts were a little bit wobbly but I fixed that by attaching a set of dip bars to one of the posts. The other side is attached to my porch. And because I am only about five foot seven in, I installed climbing holds up the side of the post. Sometimes using the holds to get up to the bar is the funnest part.
Damn, sounds like a very solid construction. Its weird to me that 4x4 posts are still wobbly. Maybe You didn't put it deep enough into the ground?
Anyway, great job man!
@@BarRookie it was only wobbly at the very top. I sunk them three feet in the ground. But I love using the bar and do it every single day! Thanks for the reply oh, you guys are great
Very detailed video. And under 50 dollars too. I will definitely be building mine soon. Thanks👌
Great man! I'm building one in my own back yard too atm. Will post a video soon about what I would different! 🔥
Thanks for the help guys!
You're welcome!!
Nice. I'll build this next summer
Good luck man! Some tips I can add:
- Use thicker poles: 9x9 to 14x14 cm will be a lot more sturdier
- The buckets are great, but we missed one detail, you need to screw the buckets to the poles from down below.
That bar looks legit. Good job fellas.
I love Hans and Franz. ( pump you up) ... Lol. you guys are great keep up the good work
Hahaha I looked it up! That shit is hilarious 😂😂😂
Heur me know and belleeve me ladur, we are heur tu pomp you up!! 😂
I became your fan
Great love you
Thank you so much!!
very clean , boss work , like a pro thanks ........ wish to goal i1 million subs..
Thanks Muditha! Indeed, let's go to 1 million!!
New subscribed here! Thanks for this video, I'm going to build my pull up bar!
Great job gentlemen
Thanks man! Check out the video about the pull up bar 2.0 with some more experience into the build.
2021 and I'm still getting this on my recommended vids
Its absolutely crazy man!
Because I have a far better version. And this build can be optimized a ton!
Thanks for dropping by though!
great job guys!!
Thanks man!
thanks! Very good
+Just Living Calisthenics thanks for the support!
Great job guys!
Thanks!!
Thank you guys
You're welcome!!!
Great Video.. best ive see yet
Thanks! :D
Maybe use at least a 4x4 post or even better a 4x6? Would be much more sturdy. Great idea guys!!!!
So So true. In my second pull up bar build I used 9x9 cm poles and even those could have been a little thicker!
Thanks for your comment!
Thank you so much I am going to try this
nice projekt. don't know if i understood it right with the buckets in the hole and the pole in the buckets?
if so don't do that the next time you have a projekt like that. the pole will always stand in water if the water cant get away. dig your hole put the post in put a little dirt or gravel in so the bottom of the post is covert and then your concrete.
thank you
You're welcome brother!
Nice men!
Thanks!!
Awesome!
So are you man!!
Thank you for the video. Does it wobble when you do muscle up or wild swing on this bar?
nice project
Thanks man! :D
Man how I Love to see me some metric 😭💕
Metric for the win!!!
In Australia one of these wooden bars costs $42
Whuuuaat! :o so much!! :o Treated or un-treated?
BarRookie Treated, but it is not much cheaper untreated. Almost all timber in Australia is treated these days anyway.
@@camerongray7767 Ya.. I just dropped a comment about that. and then I saw your post. I wanted to build it but not cheap.. So i managed to get a used pull-up (250cm height) from the marketplace.
Thx
You're Welcome!
Great vid, and build! I just made my a video of building my own DIY pull-up bar! Thanks for the inspiration!
Does it still stand to tis day?
I just suscribed btw hahah good content
Unfortunately it doesn't! We had to saw it off because we don't live there anymore.
Thanks for the sub!
If you want to build a pull up bar, I suggest you check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/DOG58Bzkodg/v-deo.html
It's about all the things I would do better ☺️💪
What did you mean when you said out the buckets in the ground? Are there actual plastic buckets with the cement in them in the ground?
Yup, there are indeed buckets with cement in the ground, as sort of anker points for the poles.
cement in buckets and around buckets?
In the buckets and around. You fill the whole bucket with cement to anchor the poles, then you fill around the bucket to anchor the anchor. It depends though how wide the whole is. You probably just want a bucket to fill the whole so it fits snug and you don't buy/waste more cement than necessary.
Hey I’m just wondering if the bar felt to small. All my construction store sells is 1.1/2 inch bar and I wasn’t sure if that would be to big
That could be to thick, but it will help you train your grip.
I suggest you go to the store and grip that bar and see how it feels. It could be that 1.5 inch feels very comfortable for you.
Wait here in Canada what should I do if it’s like -30 outside will the pull-up bar station thing survive in the cold weather?
what did you guys do to ensure the bar doesn't move if you swing?
On this exact bar we've put diagonal side beams to prevent that. But that was a flaw in the design.
I suggest going with thicker poles in the first place.
I have some more tips in this recent video:
ua-cam.com/video/DOG58Bzkodg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BarRookie
Just wondering, what drill do u use to drill the hole big enough for the pole ? Plz
I used a flat self cut wood drill. But you can also use a forstner bit or a hole saw bit. Depends on what you have laying around. If you need to buy stuff, the hole saw bit is more versatile.
Make sure to take the diameter of your bar.
Hoe noemen die stukjes voor de baar vast te maken in het hout? In de beschrijving staat er end caps maar ik vind niet wat het is. Bij mij zitten de palen al in de grond enkel de baar moet er nog aan vastgemaakt worden
Hangt er van af. Je kan de baar door het hout boren. Dan heb je geen stukjes nodig. Maar andere vijzen liever de baar aan de palen en dit kan met een flens (flange in het engels). De encaps zijn vooral als je een bar hebt met schroefdraad, dan kan je dopjes voorzien
@@BarRookie Thx man voor je antwoord man flens dat is wat ik zocht, een buiskoppeling dus.
Nice job! Did you know you can save alot of work by pouring the dry cement in the hole, than add the water and mix a bit with a stick.
Thanks! No I did not :o. Is it as good as mixing it upfront?
yes. I have sunk alot of fence posts. Works just as well. Pour some water in the hole, than some cement, mix with a stick or scrap of rebar, and keep going till you fill it. Try not to breathe it in or get it on your hands, its not good for you. :-) Nothing to clean up either!
Thanks for the tip man, it will get handy someday :D There are always things that could have done better afterwards.
Yes I noticed, it really dries out you skin. Did you made your own pull up bar as well?
I am about to buy the stuff to make one, just looking to get ideas, the height on yours looks perfect, but I think I will do two chin up bars, one for me, one taller for my hubby and probably two parallel too, why not? My grandson can hang on the short ones! Will be great for some upper body strength. Where are you two from by the way?
Do I really need cement
It's not a joke I wanna know
I think you do, for extra sturdiness
You don't. You have to treat the wood well before doing that. You will have to pack the soil very well and it might work.
Is there any way to build it from the fence posts in the backyard?
It depends on the height of the fence posts! Back at my parents house we build a pull up bar in the corner of 2 fences. We did put additional poles next to them to make the bar higher.
Just make sure you check for stability while you're at it.
isn't good to paint or give something coating to make it more waterproof? especially for the wood ..
Yes, it is really recommended to give it a good coating! But we only realized this after the video was made. So feel free to check part 2 where we do the paint job.
Did it take you guys 5 25kg bags for each hole or was 5 bags the total amount used
If I remember correctly, I think it was 5 sacks for the total /
Gyms have closed once again for me and time to get to building.
Did you guys check if it was level during the concrete pour?
Yes We did!! :D
is there anything i can use besides tar for the bottom of the wood?
You probably can! You just need a coating that prevents the wood from rotting. Carefully picking the wood also can prevent you from using tar. But your best bet for that is to go to your local hardware store and ask for some professional help 😊😁
epic!
Where did you get the wood from and what kind is it?
Btw keep up with the great vids
Thanks man!! I would suggets pressure treated wood. You typically get it at your local hardware store
Can i use 7*7 cm wood bars ?
You can! I would recommend going for 9x9 cm if you still need to buy your wood. That will be more sturdy!
How long did it take to build it? Love the videos by the way!
About a day and a half. Really depends on how well the digging goes. Here we had a lot of roots in the ground.
Thanks by the way 🔥🔥
Guys how you hold the bars in place while pouring concrete?
Can we do freestyle on this is it a solid one?
Not really, you'll need thicker wood for that. I recommend checking out this video: The Sturdiest DIY outdoor Pull-Up Bar with Dip Bars
ua-cam.com/video/1L4A4WbdRW8/v-deo.html
It was wobbly when you only tapped it with your hand :( Need solid construction. What will stop the metal bar spinning?
Yes indeed. The thing that I would to differently (and which I did in my own house), is to use thicher wood. More like 14 by 14 cm. This will make it a lot sturdier.
The way to stop the bar from spinning is by drilling the holes just big enough. Then you need to really squeeze the bar into it. And when the wood expands it will tighten it. You can also just put a bolt into it.
Hope that helps!
@@BarRookie Thanks for your reply, yes helpful.
where you guys from? Cool video.
Thanks man! We're from Belgium!
Parlez vous Francais? That’s and a few other phrases I remember from 3 years of High School French maybe 35 years ago. I thought you guys were German or Austrian. Lol.
+BarRookie what were the size of your end caps for the bar? We're the end caps metal or plastic? Nice vid!
Thanks! :D
We used caps to fit on the 3/4 inch bar. Because the bar is threaded at both ends. They are made out of galvanized steel. Hope that helps :D
Phineas and Ferb
How can you concrete wood
What do you coat it with?
In the video we used tar. On my second pull up bar I used treated wood that does not need coating.
Why do the wooden bars start to shift back in forth, happens everytime once a year in my training camp. Could it be the weather?
I can't tell, is it always during the type of weather that they shift back and forth?
Yeah, it seems like it.
is it still standing?
Yes it is :-)
anyone know what type of caps they used
Can something like this hold 300 pounds?
I think it will. If you want to be sure, you can use thicker poles.
BarRookie thank you. I think I’m gonna make one myself. 250 pounds is realistically how much I would like it to be able to hold ( weighted Calisthenics).
Awesome brother! I recommend you check out my latest video on making a pull up bar. There Inve put some lessons learned.
The wood alone cost more than 50$
Damn son, where are you from? :o
I wouldve made it all above ground.. no cement necessary, and you can take it elsewhere if you were to move. Install a peg about two feet up from the ground so u dont have to jump to get on the bars.
Woudn't that make it super unstable?
Remember kids this was filmed back in the 1800’s so 50 dollars will be around 6 billion
Hahahaha 😂 I really love this comment! Keep it up brother!
@@BarRookie it’s alive!
Jow mannen,
Onlangs begonnen met Calisthenics en dacht er ook aan om een eigen bar te maken! Waar hebben jullie het materiaal gekocht? Wat is de lengte en diameter van jullie bar? Ondertussen hebben jullie het al een tijdje, zijn er dingen die je anders zou hebben gedaan achteraf gezien behalve de extra steunpalen? Ben ook van België btw :)
Greets
yo yo yo,
De afmetingen staan in de description. het materiaal hebben we gekocht in de doe-het-zelf (gamma).
Dingen die ik persoonlijk anders had gedaan zijn:
- een dikkere bar (1 inch ipv 3/4 inch)
- dikkere houten balken (10x10) gebruiken zodat die steunbalken niet nodig waren
Dat is het zo'n beetje. Anders heel content van de pull up bar!
Beestig om nog iemand van Belgie tegen te komen! :D
Van waar precies?
Antwerpen :) , was al een tijdje geïnteresseerd in het hele calisthenics gebeuren dus ik dacht mij er eens in te smijten :)!
Zeker doen! :D Hopelijk vind je mensen die mee willen in je Calisthenics journey. Dit maakt de sport des te leuker. :D
Ikzelf ben van West-Vlaanderen, maar ik hoop dat we ooit eens kunnen samen trainen! :D
+BarRookie bedankt, hoop ik ook, zal eerst wel serieus moeten oefenen want ik sta nog heel ver van waar jullie staan :D jij ook succes ;)
Komt wel hoor! :D gewoon blijven trainen en doen wat je graag doet! :D
Danku! :D
Believe me, this is even more that 10$
It is more! Its 50$.
Great video brotha!!
Do you want to be UA-cam friends?
Thanks man! Of course I do!
You have some good videos! 💪
Hey Dre, Are you guys still being friends ?
Hi Cain,
Yes we still are. A bit less then in the hay days. But we hang out from time to time ☺️
@@BarRookie Good to know that Dre... it's always good having a good friend. 👍
It truly is Cain, for working out however, I prefer to switch between being alone and being with friends.
What is your preference?
caps on end? how stop spinning?
The caps are for preventing that things get into the bar, like bugs and stuff.
For us spinning was not an issue because it was a very tight fit. If you find your bar spinning, you can put a bolt trough the wood and the bar.
What is the exact diameter of the steel bar you used? Thank you
+Italo Cornejo 3/4 inch (about 19mm) but a full inch bar will work just fine too :D
I would lie if I told you I know the answer!
To be honest, I prefer 1 to 1 1/4 inch (I = Blond guy xD ).
None the less, 3/4 inch is still decent! It is really up to your personal preference.
+BarRookie There is inside diameter and outside diameter im pretty sure 3/4 inch is the inside just like my bar.
+Chico Dermendzhiev The outer diameter of mine is 1.25
Chico Dermendzhiev Yes I think it is indeed the inner diameter (3/4 inch). Just measured it and the outer diameter is 1 inch. But again, it is all about personal preference.
👍
Try doing some pullups
We did! I was super awesome fun!!
00:30
Nice video but Wood, i prefer metal
Thanks man!! Me too, but I actually never thought about making a full metal construction 🤔
BRO please do collaboration with me I am a calisthenics athletes only 15 year old need help
You could be doing with actually using it lol
What do you mean bro? 🙃
BarRookie I think he's saying your small
He means you should shown you self using the bar
do you speak dutch ?
Ja, elke dag! :D
hahahaha ik dacht et al !! dat accent kende ik wel ;) :p maar goe bezig !
Ik probeer wel het weg te werken dat accent, maar het is moeilijk! Van waar zijn jullie in Belgie?
En Thanks :D
hahah ja da kan je ni zomaar wegdoen ma da geeft ni en van oost vlaanderen ;) jullie ?
Gewoon blijven oefenen e :D Je kan er wel op letten hoor :p
West-Vlaanderen, nie zo ver van elkaar dus :p
this little project will cost me 2000$ in todays time
Unfortunately I could not have calculated this in when I made the video all these years ago xD
y so serious bros
The euro to dollar conversion is wrong even for 2015
These materials are worth $4,564 today
hahah hoe overtuig ik mijn ouders om mij een pull-up bar te laten ingraven in de achtertuin?
Hahah, Goede vraag! :D
Eerst en vooral tonen dat je gemotiveerd bent om te trainen en dat het iets is dat niet binnen 2 weken zult opgeven.
Daarna, toon hen dat het relatief low-profile is, tenzij je een super kleine tuin hebt natuurlijk!
Nodig hen uit om ook gebruik te maken van de Pul-up bar!
Of, je maakt de pull-up bar 's nachts en hoopt dat ze deze niet zullen wegnemen xD
BarRookie haha nou ik ben al ongeveer 5 jaar bezig met fitness en er is op 20-30 minuten fietsen een calisthenics parkje, alleen ik heb niet altijd zin om zo ver te fietsen, dus zeggen mijn ouders dat ik maar naar de sportschool moet gaan, alleen het probleem daar is dat mijn sportschool (waar ik dus al 5 jaar naartoe ga) geen goede pull-up bar(s) heeft, dus nou is hun argument dat ik het al 5 jaar daar heb gedaan dus het nog steeds moet kunnen, ook willen ze het uitzicht niet verpesten (ik zou hem natuurlijk ook gewoon in de zijtuin uit het zicht kunnen bouwen). Denk dat ik het laatste maar proberen! ;) Toch bedankt voor je reactie :D
Ik zou zeker dat laatste eens proberen hoor! :D Laat mij iets weten als het je lukt! :D
Bij mij wat de druppel de opmerking 'nou, er kan ook een schommel voor de kleine aan hoor' die het hem deed. En ja, die kan er ook aan, eerste schommel die met klikkers ophangt aan 4 cm dik manilla rope.. ^_^
nice, but 60euros is not 50 dollars
But it is also 5 years ago :o
@@BarRookie i am currently making the same, thaks, bcuz i was training with an Iron gym
At first it looked like they were in a greenscreen
K
I bet 100 bucks they can't do 5 pull ups...lol..
That was like 5 years ago buddy. Yes we could do 5 Pull ups back then and even more now xD
4:16 wtf is he doin, rappin?
Why do this when you can buy one for 20😂😂
kingvase 01 Where?
If you have some good connections you can probably do it for free too xD But please tell me, where? :P
BarRookie I'm trying to buy a bar for my brother, everything I'm seeing is 80ish.
Brandon Burrows Have you tried asking around? Maybe some people have a decent pipe laying around or some wood. This can help to shave some dollars off the price.
A door pull up bar is also a great thing to have, definitely cheaper and more portable. However, you can do less tricks on them.
For that money I get 20$ doorway pull up bar
But you cant do pull ups out side with it. Nor can you do muscle ups.
Though a doorway pull up bar is great to have none the less 💪
Vito Gojak apples to oranges
Thank you all for watching!
This video is already 5 years old and there are some things I would have done differently.
Please check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/DOG58Bzkodg/v-deo.html
And, happy building!!💪
I had to give the video a dislike. The process wasn’t explained thoroughly enough. What type of coating do you use? What is the name of it etc.
Hey man, I'm dorry I disappointed you!
If you want additional information feel free to ask!
The coating we used for in the ground was black tar (apparently that's what its called).
Shoot if you have more questions!
Awesome!
Good Job.
