Bob Sanders Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Just curious. I don't have access to a stall bar currently and can't find gymnastic gyms with "open gym" times. Is it just for mobility and stretching in the Foundation One Course? If that's the case then I can hopefully easily find substitute. Also, are there any other tools I might not have access to if it's not at a specialty gyms? Thanks in advance.

Ronnicky Roy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 For F1 it is used for stretching and some MN elememts. For stretching, It can be substituted by using a dowel rod. Just lean against a doorway, with the rod on the other side. For the MN you could use a bar hanging near a wall. Something to keep your back flat against. An imperfect substitution is a pullup bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sanders Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 What are MN elements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Slocum Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 MN is an abbreviation for manna. As you can imagine, developing the manna entails developing good pike flexibility and active pike compression. As Nick pointed out, stall bars are not strictly necessary for these exercises.

Bob Sanders Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 What about for the side lever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnicky Roy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Nope. Not necessary till later on. I think F2 is when you start using it, but in many cases you can do substitutes. Again it won't work as well as a stall bar, but it will allow you to do the exercise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David McManamon Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Stall bars can't be substituted for their overall versatility at training strength & flexibility, it is really worth looking into building or buying a pair if you start training seriously. However, any one exercise can be substituted with some creativity. A railing is a good substitute when it is warm outside for a lot of exercises.

Jon Douglas Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Working around moving/travelling a lot and making do took me a long way. Stall bars are the undisputed #1 option, but the #2 choice that gets done is superior to a #1 that isn't Railings, kitchen sinks, fences and kids playground equipment in parks have served me well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
