Garage
I finally got around to improving the pull up bar in my home-gym/garage.

Before:


It was fine for hanging from to stretch out my back, but dangerous for more than anything more than a couple of chin-ups.

After:


Roof rafters reinforced with cross blocking, using hangers.

Also braced up the punching bag connection point with lateral 2x6 blocking.






At least now I'm ready for when I get stronger and can use these bars more aggressively.



I upgraded the 2x6 dips ledger with a 2x10, this will give me a little more confidence in it.

I've been doing more swimming than any other exercise lately, it's summer right?
