30 day cold shower challenge !!!

my brother's builder friend advised me not to bolt it on the lintel as the house was built in 1929, he said he's sure it would be ok but don't risk it just in case.

but its cool I had a plan B I bolted it on the outside toilet, I have never used the toilet but back in the days people had an outside toilet, I just keep tools inside it,

one of the holes I drilled was at an angle and the bolt wouldn't fit through the bracket hole of the bar, and couldn't get it out even with the claw hammer so I just hammered it through the brick so there's one bolt missing but its really sturdy..

i have been training for ages yet couldn't do one fucking pull up haha !!!

so that my next hobby to do, training so I can do 20 consecutive pull-ups and chin-ups.....

thanks, ben for your help especially about not needing all the bolts..

did you figure to screw the nut till it was even with the end of the threads before hammering?
think i forgot to mention it
just saw this now

almost forgot,

Yeltsin enjoyed swimming in icy water, and throughout his life started each day with a cold shower.

get a block or short step ladder for under it.
then use legs as little as you can till you can
do some with out leg's. work up to no block
but go for the full pull up from the start.

^ good advice lrus

ive been hanging on the bars for around 30 seconds and letting go and increasing the time every day by a few seconds, but your idea of a stepladder is better, ill try it

in climbing the training discipline is called finger boarding
they offer a variety of shapes to hold onto and usually a pair of near handlebars

the idea is sets of hangs with weight added as needed to just barely finish your set
in climbing you often see counter weight systems to take it off so mortals can train holding the little stuff

you only get one chance with the type of bolt you installed.
probably the reason for the caution away from the lintel
since its poured concrete is could be soft enough that your bolts wouldnt have caught as you tightened them

the type with a threaded bolt instead of a stud have more ability to expand and thus mabe catch in softer concrete

been watching some YT vids on men ad women doing these exercises, hanging on a wall nodule with their fingertips and having kettlebell weights attached to their torsos and sometimes holding on with fingers of one hand and holding kettlebells with the other hand, most of them were extremely slim too had zero fat on them and you could see muscles of there fingers.....
