- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Hang out with us today while we build a new, stronger, bigger pull-up bar! I try to include some good tips in case you want to build one yourself. There's lots of laughs in this one, I hope you enjoy it!
Scroll down to see a build list and cost, so you know what to ask for and expect at the hardware store.
Leave your comments down below! How did we do?
What you absolutely need:
4-6 bags of concrete (2-3 bags per post) $6ea = $36
6x6 posts (x2) = $80 (*you could get away with a true 4x4 post or 4x6)
Bar (Threaded 1”x6’ Galvanized Steel Pipe) = $20
*Pipe is actually just over 1.25” outer diameter.
Flange (x2) = $10
Total = $146
Things that would be good to have:
Supporting Wood for leveling posts (4 2x4’s about 3-4 feet in length)
Wooden stakes
Level (1 long and 1 corner level is great)
Screws (8x2”)
Red Loctite (to secure bar into flanges so it doesn’t twist)
*I did not show this step.
Drill/Impact Driver
Bucket
Pipe/Rebar to mix concrete
Post Hold Digger
Shovel
Long pry bar
Patience

I love how even as an adult you haven't lost the joy and play-fullness in life that is usually lost with youth!!!
I wish I could marry a cute, fun, straight guy like him. I dont like the fem gays.
I find that joy and play-fullness is not strictly related to being a certain age, but more related with the fact that most people in our global civilization , after a certain age, are put to monotonous and tiring work that they don't give a crap about for decades, and with no time to slow down the rate race, because their means of survival get threatened if they do. Such conditions totally 'break the spirit'.
yep, reminds me of my childhood best friend.
The YT short about the caregiver setting up activities to stimulate the minds of the elderly in the nursing home is what come to mind with the 3yo grey program even in a moder warrior society our minds are meant to be creative and play
Chrystal's laugh is so adorable!
Ja ja :)
Very nice! I love how she laughs every time you hurt yourself LOL
What are girlfriends for? :)
@@Simnettnutrition savage !! 😎👌🏼🤘🏾🤘🏾👌🏼💥💥
nah she a bad wife. good wife would run to her man and kiss his wounds
Guys you should fill the hole with concrete above ground level,when it rain it will fill up with water and rot the timber out and you will have to replace the pole earlier than you would
Or dirt
Cosimo Dichiera aren't you also supposed to put this deep into the ground? Like 1/3 of the post in the ground right? my gate posts are three feet in the ground and six feet above.
With as much stress that you were putting on that bar, jumping, leaping , doing muscle ups you should consider drilling through the posts and putting the brackets on the outside to provide much more support and reduce the chance of shearing those bolts or screws off after regular use.
@@Xentrick I tried this with my pressure treated 4x4 10 foot posts.. sad to say they started to splinter before I could even put them in the ground. These 6x6 might not spinter that easy but that past experience was a major put off... So I got new 6x6s and will just use 5 inch screws to make sure its embedded deep. Plus if something goes wrong, you can always lower the bar/flange position a bit
True
Omg. Crystals laugh is so cute and contagious
Agreed!
You and Crystal make me actually believe in love again🥺💙
awe thanks Jessica :)
Simnett Nutrition Thank you guys, you’re so inspirational!
I agree 😭
Aww jessica that's why you need a guy who lives same lifestyle
It is overkill! 😋
Your energy is infectious man, smiled throughout the whole video! I'm planning on trying out your build soon, wish me luck! Blessings to you and Crystal, awesome personalities on you both haha
wish you luck! you can do it.
Same dude his vibe is amazing, I was happy the entire video
The bird bath is very thoughtful, love it!
Haha, anything to make an animal friend happy!
Hahah yeah that bird bath is thr everything magic for this video
Alex, da meeeen! One of the best vegan vloggers! Subscribe to his channel! :)))
That bird bath and picnic table is the cutest thing I've ever seen. If I was a little animal I would love that lol 🥰
Where can I get me a Derek?!! Crystal with her adorable laugh! I love this channel. I bought a power tower years ago, couldn't do one pull up on it and took it down before I moved. During quarantine I put it back together, been working on my upper body fitness and am doing more and more pull ups each workout!
Like a kid with a new toy. This is awesome. You did a great job. Your hard work paid off. Congratulations on a job well done my friend. Crystal was a great help. She's always so energized. You two are a good pair.
No more squeaks! Very cool! I build fences and decks for my day job so I know what it’s like lugging concrete around and digging holes. 💪🏻🌱
oh man, thats a tough job. I have built a few fences in my life and it's tiring work. Even putting just these two posts in took a few hours lol.
I don't think I'd spend my entire lunch break watching anyone else install some posts into the ground except Derek and Crystal.
The bird bath is incredible, my girlfriend and I thought it was so great! Ha glad you got a new bar set up brother.
Thanks David!
Can't wait for Derek's home renovations series! 😂
oh goodness hopefully when we buy our own house it doesn't need much work. lol
OMG. I am excited because of the 6x6 posts.
I have two 12' long 6x6 logs holding up my shed that I was about to get rid of.
Maybe I can build me a nice pull-up bar 2.0.
Thanks for randomly helping me, more than you realize, yet again.
yes! that would be amazing.
I just love the dynamic between the both of you.
Oh how cute, the little squirrel actually sitting at the picnic table! Love the bird bath too. Great job on the pull up bar. ✨
Awesome that you were able to build that yourself! 😁🌱
Thanks :)
Wow I'm impressed!
I need me a doer like Derek 👍
I have always been a silent viewer, but I had to comment now because your channel helped me achieve my weight loss goal of 145 pounds lost in 30 months. I now have a new life & feel the best I have ever felt health wise in my life. You & Crystal inspired me to do a 180 with my eating habits, and I love the good energy & attitudes you both have, thank you.
Congrats good work
You can also add one more post on each side of the bar, facing the trampoline or the opposite side to make the bar wabble even less.
Then you can screw those together and it won't ever move again. That's what I did in my backyard and even freestyle won't make the bar move a single bit
So happy to see your channel continue to thrive and grow! I'm sure you get this all the time, but I've been watching your vids pretty much from the beginning. You've inspired me in so many ways over the years, but 3 things stick out especially (and you say 1 in this video!): 1)"Stay ready so you don't have to get ready" 2) "Put your shoes on; once you have your shoes on it's hard to make an excuse not to get out of the house (to move your body)" and 3) "down and back", in reference to shoulder posture. Thanks for all you and Crystal do ❤️
You always make me laugh, not at you, just with you. You are such blessing, both of you. Crystal, I love your laugh!😊
Sweet stuff man, a grown-up 8-year-old man. I am enjoying your joy.
I like how you’re always having fun in your videos. You motivate me to make my life fun
Great job guys! Looks fantastic! Quick concrete mixing tip, add a little sharp sand & a squirt of washing up liquid to the mixture. Also, you could try using a wheelbarrow instead of a bucket, makes bigger batches & it’s tons easier to manoeuvre to where the mix is needed.
They probably don't have a wheelbarrow but from my limited experience mixing concrete with my dad back in the day, mixing with a shovel in a wheelbarrow was pretty easy for small quantities (fence posts).
I love that you consider and care about your wildlife. I wish more people did that bit extra like you do. Thank you.
LOL omg when you fell in the hole omg. This is a cool ass episode.
Thanks! haha.
This was the best video I've seen in quite sometime. Thank you for the entertainment and thank you for the education. I have been looking into the benefits of hanging and have thought about building a pull up bar outside. This was my sign!
Almost 10 years single but watching this makes me feel love again :D You guys are really awesome!
Never mind I’d say for what you do the 6x6s are a good idea. Your pull-up bar is gonna be awesome though its hulk ready awesome job
And thats the perfect knife for concrete work
You are the best youtuber . So positive + vegan , i mean you dont hurt animals . Thats a big plus . i love watching your videos
Nice and should last a long time.. I recently build my own garden gym.. Had fun with the cementing and yeah It was a workout in itself .. I had to make a flat concrete surface so I could put a power cage. Aslo cemented slabs for a jumping rope and have heavy bag..👍👌
I remember the bamboo bar. 🤣😂 How cute is the squirrel picnic table. You should send one to Anji of happy healthy vegan. ❤️💐🤗
This video made me smile and just feel uplifted. I which I had neighbors like you. Warm, friendly vibes is always fun. Thank you for sharing!
Paint your beams with some outdoor paint, to protect them.
No need, provided it's pressure treated, which it better be!
It's cedar, I vote for a oil treatment
Awesome pull up bars and a very beautiful garden. I'm so jealous. Keep inspiring people Derek and Crystal!
Thanks Gudo :)
Reminded me of strapping a 16 ft long cattle panel to the roof of my Blazer a couple days ago to make a garden trellis. Sketchy but got the job done. 💪🌱
hah amazing!
A concrete hack for you: You can put the dry mix in the ground and water the ground it if you're not in a hurry to have it set. But no mixing required. Did this trick for a playground for my niece and nephew and it worked great!
Now that looks like a stable pull up bar! Love the DIY! Great video as always Derek!!
yes, finally! haha.
Looks super fun! I love how you also include the odd fall too, makes me giggle.
That's the video I was looking for! I'm 250lb and use additional weights during workout. So I need smth really robust. Great job! Thanks
Even better than the two handled clam type PHD is the screw type or one-man hand auger. It makes a perfectly round, cylindrical hole.
Ohhh so inspiring! I would love to add a bar to my kids play set so we can all play outside together. Working on a healthy and active playful lifestyle.
Okay I’m vegan, but where near a body builder, probably never will be. I like to stay in shape but my point is that I love this channel. With so much negativity in the world you guys are always positive! Love love
im sure you noticed but that the one with SN in the concrete is reeeal wobbly,
So cool though, can't wait until i have a place where i can put in one of these
Hey Derek. First, I’m so glad you posted a new video! I wanted to ask about something that I’ve been experiencing ever since adding more vegetables into my diet. I’m not a full vegan (yet), but I have been eating a larger amount of vegetables, specifically broccoli. I feel good and all, but usually at night while I’m bed my stomach starts to grumble as if it wanted more food, even if I don’t crave anything. Is this a sign that I should be eating more or is it possible that it’s all because of the larger amounts of veggies I’m consuming. Thanks!
Include some healthy fats with the veggies such as fresh avocado or tahini! It will help boost the calories and keep you fuller for longer! They will also help your body absorb the fat soluble vitamins from the veggies!
Alex Gharfeh thanks!
Bird bath is so awesome!
i have almost the same workout setup in the garden . My dad helped me with doing it. its made from welded galvanized pipes + Dips bar . I love working out in garden . I have big military bag which serves as weightlifting belt where i just put bricks :D . Greetings from poland
Thanks for posting this awesome instructional video. I'm sick and tired of trying to use janky doorway pull-up bars. Even the expensive ones aren't very safe or effective, and if it isn't enjoyable, I'm less likely to do them as often. Also, the doorway pull-up bars restrict movement and make it difficult to hang, get full extension, and make it impossible to do muscle-ups. So I'm going to try this outdoor build. It looks very expensive, but will probably be worth it! Good video, appreciate it man!
You all are so awesome! Big heart for little critters... Thank you!
13:00 It's like making a giant smoothie! HAHAHAHA
Awww, i love your little pic pic table and bird bath. Can you please fill some activity going on in there on one of your next video's.
I never premix mud in a bucket. Works great just added to water in a hole.
Cute idea on the bird bath but I'm guessing it draws a lot of mosquitoes, eh?
Excellent job on the project. Looking forward to doing this same design this next Spring!
No mosquitos! I spray the water out and change it like every week. I also don’t really do it anymore because we have cats so it’s not really fair to the birds to lure them in. 😆 Good luck with the project!
What a fun video! Look like y'all had a blast.
Great bird bath. Doubles as a cat feeder.
This is the stronger pull up bar i see i have to do it thank you to put the material list
Thanks for helping me realize I should just do it right the first time... Lol.
Great video guys 👍
Much love from the UK ❤️
Hey Bro not hating on your awesome pulling bar! Looks awesome! Good job, I will recommend that you pour more concrete on the post, made a frame with 2x4 and pour concrete until is above the grass, because water is going to sit on the hole and is going to rot the wood post, next time make sure you put a little concrete before the post, wood shouldn’t touch dirt/ soil
21:50 That mutual appreciation and gratefulness... UAU. ;)
Outstanding. From New York City.
Awesome energy! Thank you
Well done great job! All of it, the bar, the birdbath - all of - it great job! ♥️🐦🐿️
You guys are the best.
Classic Simnett style. This is the stuff we know and love 👍
I am using your blueprint for my new backyard bar, thanks Derek! Also, I'm definitely dumping the bag of concrete in the hole to set the post... if I were making a beautiful walkway I would premix it.
You are honestly my favourite UA-camr! That little squirrel bench is adorable!! Really inspired by you and Crystal in every video, thank you 😀❤️
Thanks for all you do. Keep it going brother.
Thanks Joe!
So I know my husband will appreciate you mixing the concrete lol! He built fence (multiple companies within his family) for like 15 years and one thing he always hated was mixing, but it ultimately holds for much longer so it's worth it! Also, we plan on building a pull up bar (inspired by you) and we are making a mini one for our 19 month old daughter! Lastly, love the bird bath, such an innovative way to use extra materials!
Derek almost died about 3 times during this video and crystal just laughs everytime🤣🤣 I love it. Awesome video. Definitely brightened my day.
Thanks for the awesome video man. I'm building one myself from watching your videos.
Awesome man, came here to find out how to build a pull up bar and it felt like watching my favorite TV show 😅 subscribed
I'm loving Crystal laughing at you every time you almost hurt yourself. Looks like so much fun doing this together!
Crystals laugh makes me laugh, i love it.
LOL In love with the little picnic table and birdbath!!! You guys are fun!
Frankly I'm slightly envious of your spacious garden, guy. Nice one for putting it to good use!
Awesome video! This was so fun and informative. A win!
Cool action, Smaconsum underpants can take on all the action.
Hi Derek - Awesome new bar!!! Love the bird bath/squirrel hangout too🐦🐿💗!!!
Thanks Sue :)
Derek and Crystal, you guys are awesome!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
This video ROCKED!!!!!
Mate good job, but get yourself two to three more bags of concrete and bring it up above ground level. That way water won't pool around you post. For future reference four inches of gravel around the base of the post inside the hole would have helped with drainage also make sure the post are treat lumber. Not to worry its nice and job and will last you ages..
Good work Derek. Thank you for taking us on this journey. ✌🏾😄🤙🏾💙
I guess when you put the posts in each hole the bottom of each post is sitting on dirt? Would an ideal way to do it be either put a little layer of gravel in bottom of each hole before set post in the holes or put a little mixed quikrete in bottom of each hole then set posts in holes. Then you could do all the leveling checks and attaching the 2 x 4 supports before that concrete hardens? Maybe these methods would prevent bottom of posts having direct contact with moisture in the ground?
dude you guys are funny man, life goals.
Thanks for the good ideas, I’m just building a mini half pipe/ swimming pool for the little one, I think I’ll do a pull-up bar and a bird bath myself!
Lovely video; it just makes me feel happy 😊
I love the birdbath best!
The best thing I enjoyed in your video is your gf's laugh 😂❤️god bless..
Enjoyed every second, laughed out loud, great vibes for my morning, thank you Derek and Crystal ❤️
Cool setup dude. Here in the UK with have a product called postcrete and you pour it straight into the hole, add water and mix it together as you said. :)
Nice to see your hard work💪👍
😂 First time I didn’t learn anything which I will use in my own life (I will never build a pull-up bar) but I watched it to the end because it was fun!!! 👍
thanks for the good vibes! jood job building
Favourite bits of this video?! picnic table and ur rogue shoe for sure! hahahahah
Love you guys together!! Awesome video and AWESOME bird bath!! Also Awesome Build!! Future Vegan American Ninja Warrior!!??!!
Hope the new pull up bar lasts for a looong time! The little picnic table and the pond are sooo cute! Loved how the squirrel sits on it ^^
I remember your first muscle up. You've become a beast!
thank you!
