Foundation Series Equipment?

I'm super excited that the whole Foundation series will be out in a matter of no time (along with Handstands One).

However, can someone tell me what the Foundation series equipment requirements/recommendations are?

Will one need to obtain/make stall bars? Rings? I'm also very curious about the rope climbing ... Is there a specific length of rope that needs to be used? I'm thinking of getting the Foundation One course this summer (possibly get the whole bundle at once)  and I'm pretty much going to be confined to my home/outside for working out, and I'd just really love to know equipment requirements/recommendations so I can figure out how to make things work out.

Thanks a lot.

Just bought it today and had a look and tried the first workout based on my ability. This is the equipment used in the workouts:

Stall bars

Rings

A bench

PB for dips

Pullup bar

Barbells for mobility (10-20lbs)

A low bar for the early PU progression

Not needed:

A rope

My gym has everything except for the rings which I bring and of course the stall bars. I have a metal ladder in my living room that I use as stall bars. Hope that helps.

Everything can be substituted except for the weight, a means to do dips, and a bar to do pull up work.

Thanks for the info .

Where do you find these substitutions as they are not present in the book?

I would like to know that too. Been wondering how to do the IM that are being done with stall bars, and how to do RC progression without rings.

If your gym has these squat racks with adjustable locked barbells, you could use them as a substitute for the ring rows and, together with a bench, also for the mobility work.

Get creative! Honestly it's not hard to find good substitutions. Need stall bars? Grab a solid door. Need a low bar to do inverted rows? Use a sturdy kitchen table. The options really are limitless. Just make sure that whatever you're using is solid and will support your weight.

There are also free plans for building your own stall bars available in the Equipment section of the forum.

Yes, I've seen that post before. Very well done (and not too pricey!). I'll planning on finally building some stall bars this summer.

Thanks, Coach.

For stall bars, I use a ladder placed and securely fixed against a wall, though I have the privilege of living on an old farm with a barn.

It should be doable without one, though. Maybe if you get an old one and tie it to a tree in your garden.
