Alternative to Wall Pullups#1786

?

I live in a very remote part of Alaska, and I have come to realize that I do not have a suitable pole, doorframe, or other option to do wall pullups. I tried a tree, but where I live it is very rainy and I couldn’t get a good grip! Any ideas for an alternative?

Hey. This is Chrys, one of the trainers at Hybrid.

Yeah, if you do not have a good setup for wall pullups, its cool. I would look for other pulling options instead of trying to force a bad one.

If you have a sturdy table, table rows are probably your best bet. If not, you could also use towels or bedsheets for rows if you can anchor them safely. The big thing is safety so if the setup feels sketchy, do not use it.

If you really do not have any solid pulling setup right now, then I’d just focus on the rest of the program and build what you can until you do. Not ideal, but still way better than trying to turn a wet tree into gym equipment.
