As always, if there are any questions, feel free to throw them below
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.

On the otherhand the list is not that extensive and you can easily see what you can do or not
-Edit: tabs/spaces doāt work so the format is %@&@ but i guess you get the point.
I think the problem here is that Athletes donāt feel enabled to adapt their form to complete the exercise. It would actually be a huge shame, if so many Athletes didnāt feel they could complete pullups just because they donāt 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 donāt swing anywhere near as much as the kipping motion shown in the pullups video.
OK, help me understand - I have a doorframe pullup bar. I turned off all the settings in the app for ācan hang freelyā āhave space above barā āhave space to swingā and ābar secure for jumps.ā However, I noticed my first workout, scheduled for Tuesday, has me do ājumping pullups.ā Should this be showing up if I turn off ācan hang freely?ā I would like to have normal pullups/chinups incorporated into my workout, and I can do hangs, etc, if I tuck my legs up.
Doing Jumping Pullups, you donāt need to hang freely - you use the jumping momentum to pull your chin over the bar (so no hanging in movement).
If you want to do pullups with your doorframe pullup bar, I would activate ācan hang freelyā - because with bended knees you could. But to be honest - if you are not a beginner in pullups and you want to do Burpee Pullups or Burpee Toes to Bar, I guess a doorframe pullup bar isnāt the right choice.
Thanks for that info. For my status, I can do a few pullups and chinups in a row, but Iām by no means an expert.
I donāt know how rough itās ok to be on a doorframe pullup bar?
Itās also in the other room from where I spend my time exercising. I would be exercising mainly in my bedroom, but the only doorframe where I can hand the pullup bar set up is the entrance to the kitchen - so when I was doing my own exercise routines that I was making up, Iād do most of my stuff in the bedroom, and then head to the kitchen for some pullups / chinups. I live in a one-bedroom apartment alone.
I will turn on the āhang freelyā setting and turn off individual exercises that look like they might be a problem.
