Hi all,

I love pull ups, but I'm not going to pay £30 a month to go to the gym and do them. I used to have a pull up bar at home, but I have since moved and don't have anywhere one could go.

Is there an alternative exercise that would use the same muscles and give the same kind of resistance?

Thanks

The ones I had before fitted between the frames, however they required some brackets to be installed. Since I rent my flat I can't really do that :( I have no door frames that will fit the "no installation" bars.

Inverted rows look do-able, so I will try them.

Are resistance bands any good for emulating pullups?

Thanks

True, but my wife won't like the brackets, as they will look "ugly"! Not to worry though, I'm going to ask the gym at work if they don't mind if I just use the pull up equipment for 5 mins in the morning! I will also try to find some other exercises that will work the same muscles.
