Aye, I tried doing them in the shoddy rack we have once...but it's so low to the floor it's just more of a hindrance than it's worth.

NO EXCUSES. Only bad pull ups, are the ones you don't do. I do pull ups on my power rack in between squats. It's a pain to do, well its harder so its better.

While it's do-able ^^^ It's not THAT comfortable, and it depends on the door frame type as to how comfortable it will be :p

I'm looking to find a way to do them also really. One member said you put a broom across the loft hatch opening?

Otherwise you'll have to add in various isolations to work the back at a guess. No idea what exercises are next best for alternatives though

Yeah acctually my instructor that said he used to do it that way, broom stick in the hatch opening.
