Pull-up bars, struts

Do you want to build muscle while exercising comfortably in your spare time at home? Then equip yourself with a pull-up bar and install it in the door frame. It takes up very little space, so it's perfect even for small rooms. Training with the bar is effective in developing the muscles of the upper body, i.e. the shoulders, back and abdomen. In addition, it is safe because the trainee lifts his or her own body weight. This avoids injuries and overloading. Check out the extension bars available in our online shop now - build up your muscles, improve your health and the condition of your back!

Extension bars - what are they and why should you choose them?

In Yakimasport's range of products you will find extension bars - their width can be adjusted to fit the width of your door frames. The advantage of this type of equipment is that it is not permanently mounted. You can remove the bar from the frame at any time and place it elsewhere. This way, the door frame will not be damaged. If you want to create a substitute for a professional gym at home, the bar can be the first item you buy - it has a low price, but guarantees quick development of your back and arm muscles.

Where to install a strut bar?

A strut pull-up bar is best placed in a doorway that rarely anyone passes through. A good choice would be the one leading to the bedroom, for example. With the bar installed in the right place, you will be able to concentrate fully on your exercises without having to worry that one of the household members will suddenly interrupt it. In addition, the door in which you place the extension bar should be high enough. A bar that is too low can cause householders and visitors to snag - or worse, bump - their heads on the bar.

Pull-ups on a bar - for which muscle parts?

With bar pull-ups you will shape the sculpting of your arms, chest and upper back. When performing pull-up exercises, you need to hold the bar in such a way that you point your fingers on the bar towards you. This kind of workout will enable you to build your shoulder muscles as it will activate the work of your biceps. When you pull up on a bar with an underhand grip, you are also shaping your chest muscles. On the other hand, to build your upper back muscles, use pull-ups with an overhand grip and a wide hand span. You will then activate the broadest back muscle.

Pull-ups - basic techniques

As we have already mentioned, when pulling up on a bar, you can use different techniques depending on your current needs. You can perform pull-ups with either an overhand or underhand grip. In addition to these techniques, it is worth paying attention to the width of your grip. It can be narrow, medium or wide. In addition, it depends on your fitness level and the type of muscles you want to exercise.

Pull-ups with an overhand grip

When pulling up with an overhand grip, you need to be able to see the top of your hands. This type of pull-up activates your back muscles. It is worth using it during an advanced workout, such as a muscle-up or transitioning from bar to bar.

Pull-up on a bar with an underhand grip

This is an easier method of pulling up than the one with an overhand grip. It works the shoulder muscles and biceps more intensively. Therefore, this type of pull-up is worth choosing for those without a strong back.

Stretching the spine on the bar

The spinal column is subjected to pressure on a daily basis, which causes the discs to become dehydrated (dehydration occurs). As people get older, they lose millimetres of height and suffer pain because the cushioning of the spine does not function properly. It is therefore advisable to opt for exercises that at least partially relieve the strain on the spine. One such exercise is stretching performed on a spreader bar placed in the door frame. During free hanging, bodily fluids are drawn into the discs. This leads to their regeneration and minimises pain. This kind of stretching is worth doing every day - even several times a day. As for the duration of the sag, it is worth making it as long as possible. This is when the discs in the spine will regenerate best. You will also improve your posture with your sagging exercises. Stretching on a bar is not only beneficial for adults, but also for children who are growing and their musculoskeletal system is forming. That's why a common exercise you'll encounter in the gym at school is to perform an overhang on ladders.
