Pull up/Chin up grips

....... · 12-06-2019 02:02PM #1

Hoping someone can help me.

By far my favourite grip for pulling up/chinning up is the narrowest handles as shown in this pic.

I like to hold them right out at the tips of them. Just seems to be the most shoulder friendly and comfortable grip for me personally. Theyre sort of shaped like horns and they tilt up.

I would love a home pull up bar with grips like this but any I have seen only have the other two types on them, wide and neutral.

Has anyone seen anything or can they recommend anything for me?

Are you looking for a door frame pull up bar that has this grip? I've never seen one, as you say it's always the other 2.

You could always use rings the grips are not set so you can adjust width and they rotate to whatever position you want.

Gymnastic rings infinite possible hand positions and a nice wooden pair is about 20 euro on amazon. Guy in this vid uses similar hand position your looking for at the top.

It looks like you would always just be at the bottom of the rings?

If you tried to grip higher it would just slide around and bring you back to the bottom?

What do you mean grip higher? As in do support holds above them or something?

In the image I originally posted, the grip I prefer means that my hands are held with palms facing me, in a tilted up grip position - thats the part I prefer. Both the wide and neutral grips have the hands in a horizontal grip.

But the rings look like they will always rotate so that your hands are in a horizontal grip (whether facing toward or away etc..).

Ah I see I thought they were just a slightly inward neutral grip. In that case you would probably need to find a steel fabricator to do a custom rig for you have not seen similar on anything other than randomly on squat racks or cable machines.

Yep, thats exactly the problem!

Appreciate the input though.

Great to have that at home

You could possibly put bicycle barends on a regular chinup bar pointing upwards.

Problem is most of them seem to be single piece designed to slip on, while a 2 piece would be needed if putting on most chinup bars.
