There's quite a few fitness fans on here so I was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives to chin ups? The reason being is my house is quite old and wouldn't be able to take the stress of a chin up bar in the door way. I have got a weights bench so I could probably try sitting behind the bench and doing seated chin ups, any other ideas?
You can buy chin bars that bolt to the wall - could put it outside or in the garage?

I have found that nothing is as good as doing chin ups - certainly nothing hurts as much as them!
Make sure your architrave is screwed on tightly, and use your fingers on that 🙂
you could keep the bar loose and pull it down to your chin, this should achieve the same effect shouldn't it
I've got one of [url= http://www.boxfituk.com/training-equipment/multi-grip-wall-mounted-chinning-bar/prod_1133.html ]these[/url] up in my back passage (fnarr). Not cheap but very robust and wider grip than I can manage so should suit even the most munkey-armed fellows.
There's those climbers campus board thingys - you could screw one to an outside wall.

As long as you still show the pain and determination on your face, that it will have the same effect.
