Upside Down Monkey Chin Up Bar In The Power Rack

I just mounted the monkey chin up bar upside down in my power rack.

Here’s what my power rack used to look like:

Here’s what it looks like now:

Mounting the chin up bar upside down has increased the height from the top of the bar to the ceiling, which means I don’t have to worry about hitting my head on the rafters if I pull myself up too high (which has happened before).

Also, now it's lower to the ground, I don't need to deal with the hassle of stepping on and off a stool to do chin ups or pull ups anymore!

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
