I need a pull up station, NOT a pull up bar, because I plan on doing bodyweight dead lifts in the middle of summer AND winter and jungle gyms just dont cut it in the fall and winter obviously. Im only 5’9 and Im in toronto if that helps.

Any ideas please? Could I just go to like a landfill and pick up some discarded metal bars and like get them welded together? Or do I just buy one of those big coat racks and remove the wheels on the legs and weld on a steel platform for each of the legs??

Thanks to anyone who answers.

    Yep. Definitely got designed by someone living in an apartment sick of going down to the gym after work and paying for it and hated the idea of paying for a doorframe bar. Just the pull-ups alone have wide, normal, or hammer grip.

    The design is just a few welds, pads, and brains. I.e. maximising with smart minimalist design.

    Edit: The push-up handles are for form, but are also for bands to assist endurance pulls. It’s so well thought out for like $100 USD. Built for 300kg and doesn’t budge on dynamic movements. Also easy to breakdown for moving house.

    Clearly, I’m a big fan. Granted, I’m a rock climber only, but we do more pull ups than anyone.
