Home training with a pull up bar. The foundation of your fitness!

All athletes would agree that a powerful back can be built primarily by training on a pull up bar! This has been one of the most important forms of training with a pull up bar for many years now, regardless of age, experience or current goals. Enhance your existing training plan with a number of interesting pull up bar exercises!

Home training with a pull up bar doesn’t have to be boring

It is hard to deny that the pull up will be the primary exercise during home training with a pull up bar. The popular overhand grip hand position allows you to strengthen your back and also to stretch your body effectively during normal hanging. However, pull ups do not have to be boring - by using a different grip or additional equipment, you will be able to vary your exercises:

  • Mountain climber pull ups
  • Pull ups with a resistance band
  • Chin ups
  • Hammer grip pull ups
  • Weighted pull ups

Many people see training at home with a pull up bar only through the viewpoint of doing pull ups. However, the pull up bar can also be used for other exercises that allow you to shape your body. Among them we can distinguish:

  • Hanging straight-leg raises
  • Hanging knee raises
  • Windshield wipers
  • Tricep pushdowns with a resistance band attached to the pull up bar
  • Woodchoppers with a resistance band attached to the pull up bar

Training at home with a pull up bar and the diet – what should you consider?

If you want to build big muscles, you have to ensure an adequate protein intake. Complete protein, e.g. whey protein, allows you to maintain and increase muscle mass and contributes to maintaining healthy bones. If you are unable to provide the right amount of protein in your daily diet, then it is worthwhile to use the Pure Whey Isolate 95 protein supplement from Olimp Sport Nutrition. It is a product in the form of an easily soluble powder with a delicate taste, which allows for a quick and convenient delivery of an optimal amount of a complete WPI whey isolate. The product is characterized by a high protein content, microbiologically pure raw materials and maintaining necessary pharmaceutical standards, which guarantee an appropriate safety during use.
