Building a better pullup bar.

I bought a cheap cantilever style doorway pullup bar from Modells. It fits doors up to 32'', mine happens to be 33". Inspired by this review I decided a little fitness DIY was needed. A quick visit to Home Depot secured me the 12" pipes. A few minutes of work and some gaffa tape and I had a bar that fit my door way. Total cost $16. The home gym is coming along nicely

I tested the bar out with a few pullups and it's surprisingly sturdy. Budding gymnast Annabelle also had to have a go so 14KG shoulder presses for me.

My form on the swing is starting to come together. Two important pointers.

Push the hips back further and get a good back swing.
All the swing should come from the hip and nothing from the shoulders.
