This has got to be one of the best fitness channels out there!! I mean, this guy has debunked many myths, and encourages us to try these things that we can do at home.
Are you from India . I once visited and I saw no houses just apartment building . Although I saw some house but they were barely big enough to fit one car inside the driveway area. People of India live in apartments. Yeah and I also saw some big homes with huge gardens but you could tell those homes were owned by the super rich in a particular area and there were Ferraris parked inside . So yeah
Matt, I love your channel because you have an extremely practical outlook on fitness that focuses on getting fitness done. Thank you for always creating fantastic content that people like me can use anytime, anywhere.
The beautiful thing about calisthenics is the near infinite number of exercises which all compliment each other as full body movement patterns. If you get stuck on your pull ups, try to improve your inverted rows. If you get stuck on your handstand, try improving your shoulder mobility by working on your ROM on skin the cat. I always try not only to improve the exercises I'm currently doing, but expand my routine with new exercises. Each new exercise is a challenge which strengthens weak links in other exercises. Something as simple as support walk on parallel bars can be challenging at first. That means there is some weak link not being addressed with other exercises. Improving that weak link then carries over to other to improving other exercises.
I was thinking of doing a pull up bar that fits over a horizontal support beam, but this is easier and also more challenging when being used. Still gotta make a pair of handles for a deck balcony dip station though.....though I suppose with enough length I can just do dips from these too.
@@RedDeltaProject I'll keep that one in mind but the height and location of where I'd be using this one isn't a good match for the suspension trainer. The "deployability" of this one is more useful 😄
Great tips, Matt, at 0.14 sec you show door pullups. My question is, since the legs can't move forward (because of the door in front), does it make door pullups more difficult and therefore more effective than BAR pullups where the legs can move forward?
All I did was cut about a three foot section of 3/4" rope and wrapped some tape on the ends to prevent fraying. No knots to tie, no handles to cut - just throw it over a branch and work the back and grip simultaneously.
I actually did a similar project to this. Homemade gymnastic rings using 1/2” electrical PVC bell-end elbow pipes and polyester electrical cable pull tape. Aside from the required materials which are so cheap and easy to obtain, cementing the pipes together is a MUST. Otherwise you’ll fall on your ass with the ring-shaped pipes coming apart. Edit: I mostly use this for body rows since the PVC parallette I made doesn’t give me enough elbow room.
RedDeltaProject Hey who needs to buy exercise equipment when you can actually find out how to make them yourself? Just gotta reinforce them in the right places.
I could be remembering wrong but years ago I think some guy went on the joe rogan podcast and showed some similar tool he made from rope and handles, but i think it somehow allowed him to work the same muscles as a pull-up without even needing to do real pull-ups or hang from anything. He would just use it standing in his hotel room for instance. Assuming my memory isn’t out of whack, anyone know which podcast I’m thinking of so we could find that thing?
I made a suspension strap and it was awesome but didn't smoothen the edges enough and it cut through the strap slowly,gonna make a new one before it breaks. Can you tell me the specifics of the pvc pipe you used?
it's like home made trx. doing pull ups with trx will get you injured. because you're not stable and you're flying. and it will injure your shoulder in long term
My solution was just throwing my jiujitsu belt over a beam in the garage. Not only can I progress my pullup game, but I'm also strengthening my grip, by simply holding on to the belt instead of wrapping it around my hands, which was my weak spot in jiu When we're back on the tatami, my mates won't know what hit them :D
Also a great way to go! I've used bed sheets for similar applications in the past. Works like a charm for the grip and shoulder stability. Belt are easier to pack though for sure.
Look up prussik knots. Tie the first handle as shown, second handle on its own short piece of rope and use a prussik or other sliding knot to attach to the first rope.

Start before it's too late
😂😂😂😂😂😂
how long is the tree now🙂
@@jacksonmississippi3857 so you visited India and found only apartments??? 😂 Either you wasted your trip or your observing skill is way low.

I appreciate that! I also like how you phrased getting fitness done. Very well put

Such great point here! There's far more functional overlap from various exercises for sure.
@ienjoyapples Beautifully put.
It’s true…
It’s true…
This is so simple and effective and cheap it’s genius
The most innovative idea that I came across...! The knot mechanism just gives you the freedom to use one rope for pull ups and rows... Brilliant...!
Really great to wake up to one of your videos, gonna solve my problem of doing pull ups on the ledge!
Thanks man, that is nice. Nothing better than the good old DIY.
Marvelous solution for my rack without neutral bar for pull-ups. Many thanks

Sure, but if you're looking for something a bit more versatile I recommend this other DIY option:

I'm definitely making these asap. Thanks Matt!
Thank you this free of cost idea 👍🏻❤️
THANK YOU!!! Great idea. Exactly what I was looking for!!! 😊
Diy, fitness and knots. Very nice
Thanks!
You're more than welcome Sparky!
Awesome! This solves my problem so easily, thank you!
Fantastic, I will make one for my 3 months road trip coming up...big thanks bro
Thank you really, I didn't expect that branch to hold human weight, trees are awesome

Great idea! I travel a lot, (or did before covid), and couldn’t always find a good place to do pull ups.
RDP is the gift that keeps on giving! I need this for dat neutral grip!
Love this idea, thank you for sharing
love u sir,a big thanks to u
Wow 😮
Amazing tips for pull- ups trick .

Will these work for pushing too? e.g. dips
Awesome
thank you sir
Most welcome!
FANTASTIC, MAN!!
Thanks a lot!
would this be comparable to a straight bar for building muscle? is stability an issue? never tried it
Hey Matt, where did you buy the backpack that you are using in the video to hold the 45 lb disc?
Also want to know

this is gud for close pullbar .but what about extended pull ups sir. wide pull ups sir ?
Didn't really consider that. Personally, I've pretty much given up doing anything wider than shoulder width in most upper body exercises for a while.

Steve Maxwell maybe?

"I don't have equipeent", great video for those people :D
❤️❤️ really to good
I made a suspension strap and it was awesome but didn't smoothen the edges enough and it cut through the strap slowly,gonna make a new one before it breaks. Can you tell me the specifics of the pvc pipe you used?
I use a 1-inch diameter pipe and the handles are typically 5.5 inches in length.
You just saved me hundreds of dollars which is good considering if I'm just a few 20s left over after expenses each month.
Great idea!!
Last time I was early, Matt had long hair.
well,
after 3 years of intense training

Nature's a bitch sometimes. Train hard and increase your testosterone, but then you'll increase your DHT too.
Can you tell what kind of rope again ? By the way great video like all ways.
I believe that's a 6mm climbing or utility rope that I bought at a climbing store, like REI
Even Olympic rings are good
I'm gonna do this for the power rack I built in my garage.
Nice, would love to see pics if you get a chance over on the RDP instagram @red.delta.project
thought it was johny 😅. great content mate. im gonna try this idea of yours. thank you
it's like home made trx. doing pull ups with trx will get you injured. because you're not stable and you're flying. and it will injure your shoulder in long term
On the contrary, that instability will help prevent injury.
It would be cool if we could use it to do pull ups with the door anchor
Freaking based, man.
Hey Matt, where'd you get the rope? I want to make sure I get something that doesn't break!
Would this work?: www.strapworks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=WSR%2DCNR%2DPRC%2D000&CartID=1
Strapworks.com. You can get any length you like.
@@RedDeltaProject Made one, and it works great! Works perfect for rows under a doorway pull up bar too.
now I need a tree
🤣🤣😂

Is the Rt 17 available in Europe?
I think so, might depend on which country you're in
What about the handles that you can move one of them? I like that ones more!
Look up prussik knots. Tie the first handle as shown, second handle on its own short piece of rope and use a prussik or other sliding knot to attach to the first rope.
But yeah, I loved your solution :)

This shot is freakin beautiful. It makes me wanna train there with you, Matt. Such a cool spot!
Yea, that's a small park right across the street from where I live. Great place to workout. If you're ever in the Denver area hit me up!
@@RedDeltaProject Thank you! That sounds great. I'll absolutely hit you up when the opportunity presents itself.
Nice idea brother 😊☺😄
Many many thanks
Boom
Thank you very much! This is really, really useful :).
Glad it was helpful!💪
I didn't knew that Johnny sins was also a UA-camr
Actually johny sins does have a youtube channel.
Bro i invented these already.
I just wrapped it around multiple times over the support you hang it higher instead of adjusting the rope.
Nice !
I can finally stop skipping pull ups!
Totally Tubular!
I just bought exercise rings
I use a pair of chain instead of rope 😅
rings
Awesome, but wouldn't it be better to pay $79.99 for a product that does exactly the same thing?
I'm scared if that rope got cut off, Ya know Earth's gravity 9.807 m/s² is going after your butt then Boom. Wasted
Get a helmet for muscleups
The way he was holding the blade while putting the groove cuts scares me
Thanks uncle
