Hi everyone,

Sorry for being such a newb. Just received p90x today and will be starting on Monday. My question is I do not have anywhere to do pull ups. Can't do it in the doorway or anything.

Are resistance bands ok? I will be doing this in an unfinished basement and just want to make sure. I saw where you can put the resistance bands in the door itself, but is there any way not to have to use a door or door way at all?


Thanks

Mike

if you have an unfinished basement you can build a bar that attaches to a beam.

cheapest and very versatile

When I first started I just simulated with dumbells. I recently got the bands and I use them in a door Im sure you could do the home made alternative to the pullup bar or just install a hook on the ceiling to hook the band over.

These are great ideas.

Thanks

Mike

careful with the bands. I bought mine at WalMart for like 10 bucks. Apparently I pulled too much on it and it snapped. Didn't feel the best!!

If you're going to use the bands, pay a little more and get a durable one. Not the 10 dollar one at wally world in the sporting department.
