  Have you ever tried pullups on a sturdy tree branch? A thick bar scaffold? A low wall? 2 parallel rings at the children's playground?

  Thick bars are good for training your grip and forearms.Fitness corners bars in Sg are all very thick.

  ive tried on a low wall, and on a door ( make sure its sturdy first), some people actually do their pullups on a door if they cant get to a proper bar.
