New - Yet another stall bar question! lol

Hi All,

I just signed up for the Thoracic stretch series.  I had low back surgery (L4-5) 12 years ago and was told that twisting was  bad for me.  Well I apparently took that a bit too far and it seems I haven't been twisting my upper back much for the past twelve years and it shows.  I also lift weights and have tight chest muscles and limited shoulder mobility.  My shoulders have begun to roll forward too.  Yikes!

Anyone with cautions when using stall bars for someone with a previous low back injury are welcome.

Also....Does anyone know why the few middle bars in these stall bars are removable?  Also they look to protrude out a bit.  Anyone know the reason for this?

I came across this too... it has quite a few attachments available that I know I would use and seems super durable.  My only reservation is the width at three and a half feet and if the width between bars is correct at about 10 inches.

Looking forward to getting more bendy!! lol

Thanks!

Nice find on second one. It apparently ships from Russia.

If that is stable enough, it´s amazing! Am I wrong or you don´t need to screw the ceiling? It seems it just pushes and fits at the ceiling. Would that be enough pressure to be stable for reverse leg lifts, side lever work, etc?

If that is good it would be perfect for where I live. Lots of houses here in Japan are quite old and fragile and I can´t install them on the wall, but being able to install the stall bars without damaging the ceiling would be great. I´m not sure if the height would be OK. It says it´s designed for 235cm to 3m, my ceiling is a little lower, about 224 cm, don´t know if that would do. 

Here is the specs from the page.  Load on the horizontal bar (guessing pull up) and other things hanging is 260# and the wall bars up to 440# if I am converting my KG's correctly.  It looks it is mounted from the ceiling as opposed to the wall.  I found a listing on Ebay as well.  Maybe you can ask the seller the questions you have.  Looks like shipped to your door for $400.

200$ shipping per package is too much. Maybe they need to figure out a better way to approach the Non Russia markets.

Global? I only saw US, UK/ Ireland & EU.. or do they have presence elsewhere - Asia etc? 

Japan, Russia...

There is no reason, other than the fact that the designers obviously had no idea how stall bars are actually used.

Coach, do you suggest an offset top bar, or is plain stall bar enough?

Here's a stall bar with no top bar protruding:

As long as there is an open gap at the top, non-extended is fine.

You will find that having the top bar offset by a few inches enormously helpful in training.  The other bars however should be in flush and in line.

Thank you Coach Sommer.  Do you have a brand of stall bar that you could recommend?  Maybe a few at different price points?

Looking forward to getting started with the Foundations and Handstand 1.

I had just messaged them and they got back with the following: 

 

 

Minimal cost we can take if shipping will be by Russian Post by sea:

- $95 to USA, it takes about 2 month.

- $75 to India. We can suppose it would be 1-2 month.

I was wondering about the same, maybe the side benefit is that they can be used as the 4' wooden rods that are need for some exercises? - And the shipped price seems quite reasonable.  

I wish the first product was made in the US, as I don't want to wait that long for the bars.

The second set, Coach Sommer spoke about and the 3 removable bars protrude out some.  That is not ideal.  So I have decided against that.

This set gets mixed reviews, mainly because folks feel that the wood is not that strong. (Some love it, others dowels have broken.)

These bars are delivered to your door for under $200 which make them so appealing!  

Other sets i have seen jump in price to $500 or more.

  I only weigh 115# and my children who may "play" on it are under 100#.  

I think I am going to just go with this one.  If it is awful...at least it is from the US and I can ship it back! 

Anyone reading purchase this set and care to share a review?

I read the review earlier, I am wondering why it was moved from Equipment to F1? 

I recently ordered a great set from Midwest Gym Supply in Indiana.  They offer a single for $500 and since they make them themselves they agreed to customize the rail spacing at no additional charge.  For some reason, they usually make theirs with red painted sides, but they will leave them natural color coated with polyurethane upon request.  They have great customer service and customization if you need some customization and you don't want to make your own.  The sides are poplar and the rails are hickory.    

Father-in-law called me this morning and said, "your exercise thing is ready" :-)

Cost was ~ $85 with the expensive, red oak rungs and 1x6 backing, but we already had the 2x6 uprights and screws.

Argh, I am filled with great jealousy!

That´s great Ryan!

What an amazing budget as well, I don´t even want to mention the rip-off price I was submitted to have mine made (actually they are still being made at the moment ) of metal. It´s everything so expensive here in Japan and I couldn´t buy a usual model to fix at the terribly weak wall and needed to have a freestanding model. Since nobody would make a freestanding one, I ordered from a Brazilian acquaintance that lives here (a professional welder). Everything is removable with screws plus removable parallel bars and a pull-up bar to also hang the rings. When it´s delivered I can post pics, but my pockets are not happy

Romulo, that sounds awesome! Metal will be solid; It will be worth every penny. I would imagine it would be hard to put a price on the skills you will be able to do on that set up. Nice work. I'd like to see that pic when you get it!

Would love to see how all of those pieces work together and how it turned out for you
