>be a manlet
>forget to bring your stool to the gym

leave it by the front door so you don't forget next time, little buddy! :)

>>41136211
If you have to jump to reach it, you're probably closer to 5'7. Stop lying to yourself.

Sorry kiddo, go play in the ball pit, real men are pulling weights here

>>41136211
Because the pull up bar was designed for adults, get back to the monkey bars manlet

>>41136661
I'D DO PULL UPS ON THOSE BUT THEY ARE JUST AS HIGH UP

IT'S SOME BIG ASS JUNGLE GYM COMBINATION LOOKING SHIT AND THOSE ARE THE ONLY PULL UP BARS IN THE GYM

>>41136687
Im actually sorry...

At least you arent my 5'5 gym buddy who needs to be helped down from the pull up bar after doing hanging crunches

>>41136697
What, he can't jump down on the floor?

>>41136714
He cant reach back to his feet

>jump to reach cage's pull up bar
>left hand slips
>have to swing and try to reach it while hanging with one hand
>miss
>make it on second try

why is life so hard

>>41136211
How fucking high is it? I'm less than an inch under 6 foot and almost every single pull up bar I find in gyms I can reach standing. I WISH more gyms would mount it high. Or multiple heights for accomodation.

>>41137246
Over 7ft srs

It's really high

I'm also 5'9 with long arms and can't reach the goddamn bars. My 6' bro has to jump to reach them too.

>have to get a stool to do weighted chins

iktf OP, when I want to do weighted chins or pullups in my gym I have to jump with a weight belt around my waist... its awful.

>>41136211
FUCK OFF
I'M 4'11
NOBODY KNOWS MY PAIN

Same here.

>be 6'1", just below "new" manlet cutoff
>still have to jump to grab the bar

It's not fair.

>>41137288
I do 3x3 with 50 attached to me for weighted chins and can jump to bar just fine at 5'9. How much do you chin, or how heavy until I can't jump no more?

>grab bar that hasn't been adjusted for manlet cutoff
>strap a fuck load of weight to legs
>stretch to 6'2

>>41137537
I do 2 sets of 6-8 with just 25 pounds. I don't like the weight swinging around when I jump so I use a stool like a little girly manlet

>>41137537

Chins I can work up to 40 lbs for 3-4 reps, I usually do pyramid schemes on chins.

Strict pullups I do about 20-25 lbs for 3 sets of 4.

I don't have a problem jumping up to the bar its just kinda awkward, its in a weird position where its 4 inches from my hands when I fully reach up so i have to do the manlet hop up.

I'm 5'9". No problems. Don't lie to yourself anon, just be urself

>2017
>only 8 feet tall
maybe in 2014 that was a good height.

now even womanlets are that tall, you need to be 12+ feet to compete.

lol the pull up bar at my gym is like 9 feet high, not even fucking kidding. It's also ridiculously far from the wall so you can do pullups/muscleups with your back to the wall.

Always funny to watch manlets and shitty lanklets unable to jump up and get a good grip on it.

>not jumping like muggsy bogues and reppin out your pullups like a sick cunt

Never gonna make it

>>41138052
hahahahaha yea mate, do you go to puregym? the pullup bar at my gym is built in to the olympic rack and the ceiling is only a few inches above it so you can't do full range of motion chinups because your head would bang the wall if you go too high

Pullup bars in the main room are hung at 6'7, so all manlets who want to exercise need to go into a different sealed-off iron cube room, where they have stand-off, which they are not allowed to bring into the main area

>mfw my gym literally has a manlet area

>>41137660
>>41137683
Fair enough, when I jump I got to stabilize the weight before I pull. For a strict deadhang pull up, most I've done is 50 added to me for 1( I weigh 185 at 5'9)

OP HERE

I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE GYM. ON MY LAST SET OF PULL UPS I MISSED THE BAR WHEN I JUMPED TO REACH IT THE FIRST TIME. I HAD TO LEAVE AS SOON AS I WAS FINISHED BECAUSE I WAS SO EMBARRASSED, AT LEAST TEN PEOPLE SAW ME MESS UP AND CURSE LOUDLY.

>>41139579
Wait are there gyms out there with no manlet-pit? Can't imagine them being allowed to work out with everyone else

>feet
Not
>meters
When will they learn?
