Well, when you and husband (or anyone else reading this!) come to visit in Canberra, you can train in my garage! The garage contains the parallel bars and crash mat (both 3.5 metres long, can't fit much else in) and the other room used to be a games room behind the garage -it was disgusting when I bought the house...the previous owner used to keep dogs in there The ceilings are a little low (2.4m) for any tumbling or trampolining but the skylights help to raise the rings, rope & TRX to a usable height. A lot of this used to be in my living room, and I'm happy it's out of the house. But the thing I like the most is that I found a way to get the plyo boxes off the floor and free up a lot more floor space. The last photo shows how the parallel bars condition when I bought them from a second hand dealer. They were outside for a few years I think..the bars were in terrible condition, so after a week of work, with lots of rust converter, sanding, anti-rust paint and polyurethane, I can do Russian dips on something that doesn't move I hadn't thought of a lifting platform though..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin Liu Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Wow!!!! That's serious!!! Love the parallel bars!!! They look like new from the first pic. And you've got a pole!! So jealous that you've got so many "toys". I'd love to have some plyo boxes and some crash mats. Still have to find a place for my high rings. And having a pair of parallel bars like that will be a dream comes true for me. And how do you keep things soooo well organized?!?!?! Love your gym!!!!

Nick Murray Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 My gym is the most organised part of my lfe, Jin. Every other part of my life is a bit chaotic at present, so the intense focus from GB helps to block everything else out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanna McGee Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 BEAUTIFUL, @Jin Liu!!!! And I thought my living room "gym" was cool… yours is many many coolness levels above :-) however, I think I @Nicholas Murray's one is even cooler, the pole and the rope… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Murray Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 @Suzanna McGee the pole is aspirational....I think it's a piece of apparatus that needs huge mobility and strength. Stall bars are easy in comparison. But you can show me how to use it when you visit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you have the kind of upper body strength & mobility & extremely reliable grip, you have to wear short shorts to be safe. Super high high-heels, on the other hand, is optional 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stall bars are easy in comparison. But you can show me how to use it when you visit Ncholas, I follow some male polers on IG and they are truly amazing and inspirational. Truly inspirational. Can't wait to see your progress on it once you jump on it. I so agree about how hard it is. When I started last year, I got so humbled. Fit and strong (as I thought I was, ha ha), I couldn't even hang on. Finally now, a year later, and mostly thanks to GST (because I couldn't do much pole because I couldn't really hang on) I feel I got stronger, and strong enough to start working on my pole. This is super exciting Your gym is unreal, you don't need any other room(s) in your house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, those teeny-tiny outfits help, the more skin is gripping on the pole, the better And the shoes, ha ha… I actually bought a pair, never really wore it (not my thing), and if I put them on, I am 6'7" tall and the ceiling is in my way to do things… besides looking like a baby giraffe with collapsing legs… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grip strength takes time, but it will come i also follow a pole guy on ig. He basically only relies on his grip strength to stay on the pole while performing all sorts of flips. Amazing!!
