I can't have a doorway pull up bar because it will damage it. I thought of buying a pull up tower instead but they all look flimsy for heavy daily use. It has to be something that can be installed indoors.

Advice?

no it wont

Build one yourself. Go to a plumbing wholesale store and buy 3/4" threaded pipe however big you want it. Couple of 3/4" 90 degree elbows and two flanges for attaching to ceiling. If you have a garage or workout room put a 2x4 on the ceiling screwed into multiple floor joists or trusses and then attach the flanges to that. Should be pretty cheap under 50 bucks.

I bought the same pull up tower in your pic. Yes, if wobbled a bit, but what I did was buy sandbags (which are very cheap) and put one on each leg. Now it doesn't move at all.

U mirin?

>>40521342
What are the 2 things on the bottom for?
>>
>>40521746
you can buy a secondhand full tower for that much though, and it lets you do dips and leg raises
>>
>>40524542
Incline pushups? Seated dips?
>>
>>40524542
im guessing its for assisted dips with your feet on the floor and incline pushups
>>
>>40521342
get this if you have brick walls faggot
>>
Does your local area have park playgrounds?

The kids aren't there in the mornings, the late evenings, or, well, ever really (thanks video games).
>>
>>40521342
I have the thing in the OP and it works fine. I weight 170 and it never feels shaky or anything. The top bar for pull ups sucks though
>>
>>40525678
How so? Isn't it useless? Like the main purpose of a power tower is to do pull ups
>>
>>40525859
The only place that feels comfortable for me to do chin ups or pull ups is the metal part without the cushion. On the edge your shoulders are involved too much and with the one in the middle it isn't wide enough. Not the end of the world but still a bit annoying if you ask me. I just put a fat towel on the metal part and work my grip too while I'm at it

I also had the stamina 1690 power tower. Good height. Solid construction. Was able to hold myself 180 with 60lbs of weight for pullups and dips. Push-up bars on the bottom super helpful for L-sit.

Cheap too. Definitely not flimsy. Though if you kip you may not like them. But don't kip faggot
