When you think of strength training, you typically think of lifting heavy weights and working out at the gym. While this definitely has its place, it’s not the only way to build strength. One of the best ways to work out is actually at home, not in a gym, and doing so with bodyweight exercises. These exercises work out all of your muscles and can be done in the comfort of your own home, but they can be hard to execute correctly.
If you’re working out at home, one piece of equipment you definitely want to have is a pull up bar. Pull ups are one of the best exercises you can do, working out your entire upper body. They are especially great for women because they build out a traditionally male-dominated muscle group. You can also do different variations like wide grip, kipping, or karate chops.
Read on for our list of the best strength training pull up bars.
