Ant11 · 19-01-2013 9:14pm #1

Hi all,

So a few of us on boards have had this group going the last few months. It's going really well and there's been lots of improvements. Were trying to recruit more people to get involved so if any of you would like to join us feel free to come along. We cater for all levels of ability for both men and women.

Where: Cabinteely Park(Co. Dublin) at the Pull Up bars.
When: Every Saturday at 12pm.

Here's some videos of what we do. (Oh btw I'm not responsible for the music so my apologies in advance:D ).

This is so cool. Should be everywhere... Different heights to get people get into it... ...and maybe tips for the bands and rings to use...

They have it in St. Catherine's Park in Lucan now... Just wish it was closer...

Must check that park in Lucan out. Cheers for letting us know.

While I'm here, just an update to say we trained in Ballyfermot last Saturday at 9:30am and we will be training there again this Saturday same time. Everyone welcome.

Went for a spin out to Lucan this evening to check out the bars there. No dip bars but better than nothing.

For anyone interested in going to Lucan, access to the bars are not through the main entrance to St Catherine's Park. You have to drive towards the Gaa club and drive into Glendale housing estate. You can park in the estate and you will see the bars once you walk into the park.

Here's a photo.

Ireland needs more of these

Ant11 · 12-04-2013 2:50pm

Paddy's Bars will be meeting in Ballyfermot Park at 9:30am tomorrow morning. Everyone is welcome...

Ferike1 and 1 of our regulars are missing tomorrow so we will have a lighter than normal session, which is a perfect opportunity for new people to come along and try out some moves.

ferike1 · 12-04-2013 2:53pm

Whaaaaaat. I always make our sessions light. :P

Surprisingly expensive!

http://www.onlyoutdoors.ie/packages/3-piece-calisthenics-set.html

€1900 for the pieces and €1600 for the installation. Wonder if we raise the money will phoenix park install it :P

Still a whole lot cheaper than the crappy moving part installations.

How about we raise the money and stick it in my garden:D:D:D the installation is the easy part. Did you see Alkavadlo and his bro made their own bars from scaffold poles and scaffold clamps and just dug the ground and filled it with concrete.

Send an email to the OPW they run the Phoenix Park. It's a joke the Phoenix Park is the biggest open park in Europe & there is nothing like this in it! Fair play to you lads for organising this group must be good craic. Do you still run it when its pissing rain?

I emailed the Phoenix Park already but they basically said it will be passed on bla bla bla no money bla bla bla. Yeah we've trained nearly every Sarurday since we started. We've actually been lucky with the weather, hasn't rained that much when we've been there. Was fairly cold over the Xmas but we just layered up. Gona keep sending emails to local Td's etc until we get some help.

ferike1 · 12-04-2013 9:24pm

We are just trying to get as many people involved as possible, make videos etc to show that there is an interest in this sort of training.

When are ye going back to Cabinteely?

We vary locations depending on peoples availability etc. If your interested in popping along for a session let us know.

Ant11 · 13-04-2013 5:56pm

Short vid we made today. You can see our blunders trying to time the press-ups. Muscle up technique is slowly improving, need to get a few more pointers from ferike1. On the up side I got my first low bar muscle up, which is a lot harder than it looks.

€9,000 for equipment and 20 grand split up between "the lads"...

ferike1 · 16-04-2013 4:57pm

This is why there is no money for phoenix park. Because its spent on sh*te like this.

ferike1 · 23-04-2013 5:37pm

Big news everyone, we have been asked by the OPW to put together a business proposal for a potential installation of Calisthenics equipment in Phoenix Park.

We will be working on this over the next week and we could really use your support. If you haven't already liked our facebook page please do. The more interest we can drum up for this the better chance we have for this to actually happen!

Fair play lads really hope this happens. Fingers crossed they could sort something out for the start of the summer.
