Adjustable Bars for Pull Up and Bodyweight Exercise Review

Today I am going to review the benefits of a multi-height adjustable pull up bar for doing chin ups and bodyweight based functional fitness exercise.  I wrote yesterday on Self Spotting Pull Up Equipment, and reviewed some of the commercial machines available for personal trainers studios and gym environments.

What may not be obvious on the first glance, is just how many exercises you can do with an adjustable bar.  In fact you can do virtually any core exercise with the ability to leverage your bodyweight on a bar set at different heights, to achieve very effective bodyweight exercise and total body fitness.   You can see bars used in action in any gym environment, either on smith press machines similar to the photo here, or setting squat rack support heights to lock in the bar at which height you desire.  This company SoloStrength, seems to have carved out a niche for themselves by building a very good looking structure to achieve a fast, safe and easy way to lock in a support bar at many different heights.  You can find more information on the multi-height adjustable bodyweight exercise bar machine and fitness equipment to see for yourself.

Rather than try and describe full body exercise programs using bodyweight exercise and adjustable bars here, I found a video that demonstrates a lot of the essential exercises we all need for balanced strength fitness, and I believe there are more videos on their exercise workout video channel as well.
