Hi everyone, I'm just starting on my GST journey, but am fully committed. In particular I'm looking at Stall Bars at this stage as this is an integral part of the program. I would love to make my own, but I know this is something that would just allow me to procrastinate getting on with my training. I would love to get the Rogue Stall Bars, but don't have $700+ to drop on them. HOWEVER, I am an Amazon Prime member and get free shipping... yay! I don't mind dropping a few hundred, I'm not trying to skimp, but I can't drop close to $1000.00. There are a few sets on there, but I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to material (wood vs metal), height (I'm 5'10" and weigh 185lbs). If anyone, a coach preferably, could recommend a set that's offered on Amazon.com that would be hugely beneficial and most appreciated. Thank you, Ianca

I do not have access to stallbars, nor will I be able to get them anytime soon. Are there resources or guides for how to scale without stallbars? For example, doing an inverted pike pull without stallbars. Thanks.

Hi, I am about to invest in a pull-up bar, stall bars and rings and am considering two options and would appreciate tips from experienced users on what to buy as it does add up to quite a budget. The equipment will be installed in my home office. Available wall space about 2.4 meter. L shaped space 5 m deep across 1.2 m width and only 2 m deep across the rest as the space contains 2 desks. BTW I live in Europe, which impacts pricing and availability. Option 1: - Double wooden stall bars artimex - Stall bar mounted pull up bar that also doubles for rings. Having a double stall bar allows me to leave the pull up bar in place (as well as future extensions such as a dip station. Other advantage is that I can mount the pull up bar lower to do for example inclined pushups or other exercises. Also looks nicer in my office. But I am unsure about stability and question if there are more advanced dynamic movements for a pull up bar that may be unsafe on these. Option 2: - Wooden stall bars, artimex - Rogue wall mounted pull up bar beside it, which doubles as a ring station Option 3 (very expensive in Europe): - Rogue wooden stall bars - Rogue pull up bar either above or next to it Much appreciate you sharing your experience with gym equipment and layout. Thanks, Frank
