I think you miss the category only pull up bar with no other extra (space below/above etc) enabled. Then you get pull ups, chin ups etc which are not in the list now.

To be honest i would pivot the table and write what is required, now one can read Hey i have space below I can do muscle up but you need to see you also need space above.

Exercise ā€” Pull up bar Space Below Space Above Space Besides Secure bar
Pull up ā€” x
Muscle up ā€”x x x x

On the otherhand the list is not that extensive and you can easily see what you can do or not

-Edit: tabs/spaces doā€™t work so the format is %@&@ but i guess you get the point.

Hey Ben, thanks for the great overview! After looking at your table and seeing Weighted Pullups in it, I checked the app and saw that there are also Weighted Dips, and ā€œDip Beltā€ as equipment filter. In which journey/intervals could weighted pullups or weighted dips be expected? Thanks! :clapclapstatic:

You should add ā€˜pullupsā€™ to the ā€˜space below barā€™ column, since you cannot do the swinging motion without enough space below the bar.

Hey Friedrich :wave:t2:

These get assigned in the Barbell Journeys :+1:t2: Other than that, you can always complete them via the ā€œExploreā€ tab.

Hey @Pithpossum

I think the problem here is that Athletes donā€™t feel enabled to adapt their form to complete the exercise. It would actually be a huge shame, if so many Athletes didnā€™t feel they could complete pullups just because they donā€™t have enough space below the bar to hang/swing.

I always use here my own bar setup at home as an example-I can get nowhere near stretching my legs but I simply tuck their legs behind me. Pushups add so much to ones Training Journey we really want them to be as accessible as possible for all Athletes. Likewise, at home I donā€™t swing anywhere near as much as the kipping motion shown in the pullups video.

Thanks for the reply! Havenā€™t seen them in the Hybrid Strength Journey yet, but maybe Iā€™ll get them in the future. Looking forward to those, as I have sorely missed them before :smiley:
