I've moved into a new apartment where I can't hang a pullup bar anywhere because of how the walls are made.

How can I work around this to hit my lats at home?

Gym memberships are expensive af here, and I don't wanna join just because of a single exercise.
>>
I need some help, brehs.
>>
>>36182676
Do you no have a door frame? Are the walls made of paper?
>>
a door frame or anywhere between 2 studs will work, get a stud finder if you need too.
>>
>>36182758
It's an open apartment, there is exactly one door frame and it won't work for this, why else would I be asking?
>>
>>36182899
Don't give me lip anon

Get your shit straight then, little bitch. Tha fuck you spouting off for?

>>36182676
If you can find a place in the ceiling strong enough to secure a couple eyelets you could buy some rock rings/gymnastic rings. Just use climbing grade carabiners as quick disconnect system to keep them from being a dangling nuisance.

Lat exercises for poor fags

> climb a tree

Self explanatory. If you so desire, tie a rope around a branch and climb the rope. Ropes are cheap

> sandbag carries/odd object zercher type shit
Works the lats albeit isometrically. Sandbags and sand are cheap

> pull a weighted object toward you from a seated or squatting position via a rope
Ropes are cheap

> put a weight around your ankles and crawl on the floor like a faggot baby
In which you become your own prowler, and the most similar to a pullup

I'm not the one spouting off, but if you don't shut your mouth I'll kick your teeth down your throat and shut it for you.

I'd enjoy watching you try. I'd also appreciate it if you tell your mom to stop calling me. Took her on one "date" and now she won't leave me alone.

Rows and deadlifts?
>>
>>36182676

Go find a park and just do pull-ups on the monkey bars.

>>36183094
Deadlifts? For lats? You serious?

Yes, the lats perform shoulder extension during the deadlift.
>>
>>36182676
Drill and screw two brackets into the top of the frame.
>>
>>36182676

Straight armed dumbbell pull-overs.

Wide grip barbell rows.

Dumbbell rows.

I will tell you what to do, as a proffesional tradesman, but I know you will not do this because it will take effort and time. This is the best option.


Buy a stud detector and find where the ceiling planks are in your room, buy the bar you want and screw them in place. build your own bar
>>
>>36182676
Find a bar outside somewhere, park, etc.
>>
>>36183628
Fuck that, just stick it in the drywall anywhere you'll be fine.
>>
>>36182899
You can build a self-standing bar out of pipes, google it a bit.

Find a cheap half rack and use it just for the pull up bar.

Found a cap strength power rack for $99 at Walmart.

If it takes up too much space you can also try pick related if your landlord or whatever doesn't mind you mounting it to the wall.

Jokes on you. That's actually my dad, he got a sex change.

Look up doorframe and finger board. The best door frame pull up stuff make like a little frame inside the door frame like pic related. You just need to be able to remove the door but it damages nothing.

Depending on construction you could also get a door frame pull up bar but not all frames can take them. If you have something like an attic hatch a ghetto solution is putting a 2 × 4 across it.

I'm thinking of doing just this but with planks. Like, building a wood "rack" with a bar on top of it. Anybody who's built this have any advice? Thanks.

You could join a gym for actual weightlifting if you need a reason to justify a membership.
>>
>>36188574
Not everyone lives wherever-the-fuck, gyms in big cities can be incredibly expensive or require you to make 20 minute trip to just get there or both.
>>
>>36188436
Anyone?
>>
>>36183094

If he can't afford a gym membership what makes you think he can do a home gym setup?

Did you even read the post, you fucking tripfaggot, or just scan for mention of a muscle?
>>
>>36188436

6-8 ft 4x4 vertical posts, 4ft horizontal base with angled 4x4 kickers on each side. Piece of pre-cut 1" black iron pipe whatever length you want. Stabilize from side to side as necessary with 2x4s at the bottom and on top of posts.

Engineer here. I over design everything.
