What up my ninjas

[Fahcough]

Oh no, a non power lifting thread!

When you walk in the house and say I have an idea, and she says Not again. But you do UFC and she's not a threat. So a flatbed shows up with 6x6 post and you start digging holes.

Lots of holes

Step 3: ??????

Step 4: Profit

Lots of engineering the space and the obstacles to fit, leaving room for more expansions.

Got the kids out the house, they stay on it until dark. Goal accomplished. Adult sturdy, as it was built for my refusal to grow older.

The Ropes & Rings
Devil Steps with various hand climbs and cliff hangers
Uneven parallel bars
Elevated Parallel bars
Ring traversing
Removable monkey bars spaced at 2ft apart so you can slide them out and fly across 4-6 ft gaps
Salmon ladder
Pipe grips

Background has some incline ramp I use to pull sled up.
Incline bars for creativity work

Thinking of adding a Warp Wall or 6-8ft climb over wall. Needs more that isn't only upper body. Stay able my friends.

All that overhead Snatch work.... Salmon ladder bar slams to lock it in place between hops.

That whole setup looks awesome. You have everything you need for full bodyweight exercises. I will always do some form of SBD to maintain muscle mass but over the years I've been doing lighter and lighter weights and prioritizing more athletic movements.

Is that manila or polyplus you went with for the climbing rope? And did you go with 1.5" or 1.25" diameter?

The routine will always be fully mixed with some barbell work tossed in. Its minimal because the body responds better to odd objects and random chaos lol. But a few days a week has DL or dumbell work in it.

Those ropes were the cheapest could grab on Amazon, Yes-4-All on sale. One has the loop instead of D-ring so it looks out of place. The suck news is , a week before I finished it my shoulder wasn't having it and I haven't been able to play on it but one time. Tried every obstacle and couldn't raise arm over head the next day.

Yeah it's funny how gym routines keep coming back around to basic shit that works. We went from Nautilus, Gravitron, Hammer Strength machines back to plain barbell SBD and now everything is battle ropes, farmers carries, pounding on shit with a sledgehammer and other "exercises" that blue collar guys have been doing for hundreds of years lol.

I've been thinking about a climbing rope for my kids and will probably get a 10' one to hang from my squat rack pull up bar. During her last gymnastics class, my almost 7 year old had no idea how to climb one and I was like:



Every kid should know how to climb a rope with proper form with and without legs. Just a word of caution on the one you got. According to some of the reviews, the natural fiber ones like yours don't dry out completely after it rains, and the part covered with tape tends to rot out within a year or two and can catastrophically fail during use. Polyester rope is more slippery but doesn't rot and you might want to swap to synthetic rope if you or your kids end up using the ropes often.

Good heads up on the rope. I'll keep eye on the rips after this brutal summer cooks it. They have spent time on the ropes inside the gym. It's 12ft but with wrestling mats if they fall, never really worried about a free fall. Now we're at 14ft with ground lol. Better work on their grip strength .
They mostly fight over the rings, just swinging back n forth. With mine and nephews/nieces next door they are aged 4, 7, 9, 9 , 13, 15 . They all do better at different parts. Very apparent the lack of upper body strength.

Much appreciated. It never felt like work, the 400 post hole stabs was shoulder & back day. Might have to hide a few easter eggs up high on it.

Will you adopt me?

You overflow with knowledge and sarcasm, so you can even sleep in my bed.

That is absolutely amazing. Where do you live? I'm fixing to do a backyard invasion. I'll try to be as quiet as possible. Do people often try to scale your fence to play with your stuff?

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. Your wife has to understand how awesome this makes you, right? Even if she's not into working out...not only do you have something that other dudes want, you made that thing that other dudes want...that's amazing, man.

The feedback is great! Feels like it wasn't a failed idea and is approved by brotherhood.
Live in the bottom of Louisiana with acres of swamp behind the house, no fences needed with gators close by. Its open to anyone who wants to try. Have had the FedEx, UPS, and Amazon guys walk around and say they want to come back off the clock.

Goal is to have the outside gym as cool as the inside gym. Closing the gap.

Any more updates or pics of the set up man? I am thinking of doing a gym upgrade and wabnt some more inspriation.

 

[NoSmilez]

Is the wife getting angry that you are building all this stuff outside? At least you aren't buying anymore stuff to place in the garage.

Don't think have added anything chat worthy since then. Can grab different angles and show the hidden stations within the big one. Or post some inside the gym layout with the flying trapeze stuff hanging from all over.

Life hack. Never get married and own everything before they move in. There's been only 1 - 2 day long silent treatment that ended in Am I ever getting a Ring? But she learned her place.

Haha I am so jealous of it. My kids have made their own ninja courses between trampolines, plastic cubby houeses and a static wooden one.

Unfortunately I was going through divorce when I met my current partner. I just caved and bought the ring...
