What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Pull-Up Bar (Doorframe Mount)
RequiredThe single most important piece of calisthenics equipment. A good doorframe bar lets you do pull-ups, chin-ups, hanging leg raises, and negatives at home. Look for one rated to at least 300 lbs with foam grip padding.
Gymnastics Chalk (Block or Bag)
RequiredKeeps your hands dry during pull-ups and rows so your grip doesn't fail before your muscles do. A small block lasts months. Especially useful for outdoor bar sessions on the Wasatch Front where wind and sweat are factors.
Resistance Bands Set (Loop Bands)
Use these to assist pull-ups before you have the strength to do them unassisted, or as added resistance on push-ups and squats when bodyweight becomes too easy. A set of three or four resistance levels covers the whole 8-week progression.
