How to Build a Homemade Chin Up Bar for Basement Rafters?

by Markus

What's the best way to build a homemade chin up bar? I want to build my arms with pull ups yet don't want to buy one of those flimsy doorway chin up bars...they look liable to break, and I am a big guy!

My gym is also in the cellar, so plans to build a homemade chin up bar for basement rafters would be cool.

Thanks.

An excellent site I have used in the past, has helped me build all manner of weight training equipment, including a homemade chin up bar.

For weight training equipment you can build at home, see Homemade Chin Up Bar

Good luck with your pull ups, and keep us posted!
