Skill Work & FABRICATION DAY!

Location CrossFit South City & My Basement
Focus
Summary

Tore up the back yesterday, so I did some skill work today on box jumps and bench press.

MORE IMPORTANTLY

I FABRICATED MY OWN PULLUP BAR!  It is 50 inches long, made of galvanized electrical conduit (extra thick walls).  I inserted two eylets on each end, connected to climbing rated carabiners.  I taped the whole thing with two layers of heavy grade hockey tape, and then ran two sections of rescue grade flat webbing through each carabiner, and the bar was complete!  


This will permit me to have a sustainable bar in my basement (looped around the exposed I-beams) and let me tack more workouts outside to the local high school fiend where I can run the bar over the goal posts. 

Man its a good day!

Post a picture! I made my own pull-up bar a few years ago. Man it was ugly but I loved it anyway.
