Reddit reviews Trapeze All-in-one Stand Alone Pull up Bar

I have the version of this with the stabilizer bar. It's a little pricey but I really like it.

Hey! I'm in a similar position as yours except I'm a boulderer. I'm in love with the dirtbag lifestyle but I'm also fairly ambitious. I want to be out there getting as good at climbing as I can possibly get.

I agree with the other poster that you should incorporate more bouldering and focus on endurance later in the year once you've built up some power.

For structuring your day while climbing outside, I found that the book "Better Bouldering" was surprisingly focused on improvement in an outdoor setting (rather than gym drills, campusing, etc...).

Here's my personal plan for getting better while climbing outside:

My primary weakness is finger strength. In my case, I believe that getting better, therefore, requires more than "just climbing". Ideally, I'd like to spend 70% of my time climbing outside and 30% hangboarding / doing climbing-related weight training. So I've been trying to devise a way to do the 30% while also living like a dirtbag.

I found that I could partially solve my problem by getting a gym membership wherever I was dirtbagging (yay showers!). However, this is more difficult in more remote areas (e.g. joe's valley).

For times when I can't access a gym, I'm gonna bring this, gymnastic rings, some weights, and a portable hangboard.

This looks like it might be right up your alley

Although I think rings may work better if you can find somewhere to set them up.

I used to travel a lot and found that almost every hotel I stayed at had a gym with weights, and some even a cage on which you can do pull ups. Barring that, you can buy a pull up bar that fits into a nylon bag for travel. It's not cheap though:

I used this model for nearly five years and never had any issues with it. Later I invested in a fixed pull up tower that also doubled as a bench for presses when we bought a house that had a dedicated gym space for me.

I personally plan on putting a a power tower or maybe just a pull up tower in my garage and hang rings on them. or i might just build a tall frame to hang my rings on or hang them from a ceiling because ring towers run like 3,000 dollars.

My preference would be something like a pullup stand that can be moved out of the way if need be. I may not keep this house for a long time, so if I sell in the future, I don't want to have to worry about removing anything that is semi-permanent.

 


Here is a link to a pullup stand that I found, but the reviews mention that it's very wobbly. Are there any suggestions for similar stands, maybe a wider, taller one?

You don't want a pull up bar? Either of these work for you? If not you could search for outdoor pull up bar or free standing pull up bar.

I have this. It rules. You can set it up anywhere with no tools. Plus, it allows you to go inverted, which you can't do on a door mounted bar. No kipping though, as the legs aren't long enough to keep the rig upright.
