Jerh Shyang Cheng Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Dear all, This might be irrelevant to gymnastic related content. Please be extremely careful when you are using a portal door way pull up bar. This picture is what it has gotten me to when I was doing Korean dip. I had no time to respond and smashed my face directly on the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jin Liu Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Ouch. Sorry to hear this. Also for the Korean dip specifically, even doing on a regular straight bar, I was warned it's likely to lose grip and crash face down. The closer the bar is to the ground, the less time you have to react. I suggest a crash mat regardless if you are not familiar with korean dip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have saved my face if it were another variation of dip, but since my hands were behind my hand I was caught off guard and nothing could be done.

Different bar(s) and Crash mat? On 5/1/2018 at 4:08 AM, Nick Murray said: Please read this. Will look this up. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Walker Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Ignore all the warnings about concrete walls. It's not correct. I've been fastening things to masonry, wood, and metal for decades. A hollow cinder block wall with anchors can support thousands of pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
