Under $100! | DIY Dream Machine for Calisthenics/Gymnastics Skills 

I see you got the “comment from the past” trick haha Nice project too!

I was hoping you'd notice! Yeah weird work around but I was able to get it working haha. Much appreciated for pointing that out to me 😁😁😁

@@John.McIntyre Are you thinking of doing some videos on handstand and how you train your handstands? I would appreciate such a video, at least!

An upgraded version of this with fully adjustable weights would be next level! Not too much more work and in theory exponentially more useful because of the ability for tiny incremental tracking and progression the general pro of standard wieghtlifting and con of calisthenics as well as negative of using banded assistance just not as accurate as it could be. I made the initial version of this working on a one-arm chinup, searched more and found this now need to upgrade or see you try, I haven't seen something DIY of this out there. Ok my initial setup was pullup bar, single attached very close to bar, then just one rope to my rock climbing harness and other end of the pully a carabiner I snap to a set of normal weights by a simple rope loop and knot through them. This is pretty solid for pullups but the only issue is weights getting in the way. Many ways to do the next step but inspired by this what I may do next is take a setup like yours- disconnect rings from the pulleys( they will just be attached normally and separately. Then instead of two ropes and pulleys from your harness down to physical wieghts you'd just need to add 2 more pulleys, each a few feet outside of the first 2. (imagine a pull up bar and below the pulleys in the shape of two ^ ^ 's , you in the center and weights flanked outside and bar horizontal above the ^ l ^Then boom the best and unlimited range progression of any move! ie you can progress on the iron cross and planche starting well above half your bodyweight and just continue down to zero lbs. What do you think!

I forgot a cool feature I came up with thats very useful is to forget about most of the hassle of measuring the correct rope distance to assist as well as attaching them I simply attached another rope to pullup bar and clipped in the weights to a carabiner and the same roughly halfway height I need then to pull them. afterward I can get all harnessed up and clip in in my assisting pulley rope with a carabiner to the same carabiner holding weights floating. Then disconnect your assistance rope and boom for all set solo

Thanks so much! All in good time hopefully haha

link please sir?? thank you

Haha that's not a bad name! I know there's already a channel called the bioneer but maybe I can steal it 🤣

@@John.McIntyre calineer sounds very similar, maybe engisthenics…? Lol

Haha thanks, good luck on your thesis!

Yeah, definitely requires a bit of a set up for haha, thanks for commenting! 😁

Haha usually wanting to buy something but not wanting to pay full price for it 😅

Lmao I thought about it! Decided against it tho haha

@@John.McIntyre 😂

I love that idea! I'm not sure where I could set it up but that would be sweet. Thanks for mentioning it!

@@John.McIntyre this will show you how its setup, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qBGwt1WVREk.html. ive built my dream machine already and it's going great, spent less than 100 in an amazing piece of equipment 🤘💯💯💯💯🇵🇦

Same ones as I linked? I tried some all chrome ones that sucked, maybe those are the same ones you got

@@John.McIntyre I bought them in front of my house from nautica store - store for boats basically, so it can be chrome cuz boats need un-rusty materials , I guess I can use wd-40 to make it smoother

1 string goes through 2 pulleys. The pulleys have to be fixed to a certain point on the pull up bar so they don't slide together. Hope this helps!

I would try using a small length of Paracord and loupe it around each side. Similar to how I showed you can use the Paracord to attach the pulleys to the bar

Do you have a link for the harness?

😅😅😅 Same here! This makes it much more fun and you dont destroy your joints in the process haha

@@John.McIntyre Do think it's possible to use pulleys with a nordic curl? Perhaps a strap (or that harness) wrapped around the chest connected to the back with a counter weight through pulley?
