Do they work as pull up bars like the basebar?

Thanks Lee!

Hi Dave. First of all, that’s awesome you live in Puerto Vallarta! Such a lovely place. Been there a couple times. And unfortunately, my discount code only works on the originals line, it doesn’t work on the Pro series. As far as shipping, you can contact BaseBlocks at hello@baseblocks.fit and they’ll provide a shipping quote to ship outside of the US. I hope that helps!

Sorry, I don’t really have a recommendation for an incline bench. I don’t use benches too often. I do have an adjustable bench that I bought from Walmart years ago, it’s okay, not the greatest, but I don’t remember the brand.

No problem, man. I’m certified by ACE (American Council on Exercise) but there are several different organizations that offer certifications you can look into (ACSM, NASM, etc.) I’m not sure of a more economic way to get certified, though. All the companies charge a pretty penny for both the study materials and the exam. Once you’re certified, you have to renew your certification every two years by passing courses to earn CECs. All the courses are online and cost about as much as the original exam, so expect to pay a couple hundred dollars every 2 years or so just to keep the certification. You can become specialized as you renew too because the CEC courses can be about nutrition, functional training, flexibility, etc. and earn you additional certifications in the process. There are some other specialty fitness certifications you may want to look into as well. Al Kavadlo has a Progressive Calisthenics Instructor certification program. I’m not sure how much that costs, but I believe it’s a workshop you attend. That would be a lot of fun. I hope this info helps.

I imagine that it is as difficult as it is hanging from a pull up bar, but it doesn't appear to be anymore so difficult-my concern was whether or not my elbows would clear the side posts

With one did you choosed

No problem! I imagine it would rust if exposed to the elements too much, but you can email hello@baseblocks.fit with that question and get an official answer from them. I don’t want to test it out with mine 😊

They both get you good results but in different ways. Standard pull ups will put more emphasis on the lats, while L-sit version shifts focus away from lats to the upper back and shoulders more because your torso is upright. But keep in mind the L-sit pull up has a lot more core engagement, which is a plus. They both have their advantages.

The BaseBlocks rings do attach directly to a bar, but not for dips, only for exercises done beneath the rings (like rows, neutral grip chin-ups, etc). I made a review of those rings a while ago if you want to check it out: BaseBlocks Rings Review: NEW Carabiner-style Gymnastics Rings kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5eTnJqn3NTRlHk.html

Possibly. It actually depends more on your arm length. The bar is 52” on its high setting in case you want to check how long your reach is.

Don't know the length of my arms, but If we are fairly equal in height, then I should be golden

It’s slightly different but negligible. One thing I forgot to mention in that video though is the high setting on the pro is about 1-2” higher than the original. I compared the low settings on camera but forgot to compare the high settings. I still can’t believe I did that lol

They just changed it to MTG10

Sorry about that. Wasn’t my choice. Please try MTG10 and let me know if that doesn’t work

@@MinusTheGymthat code doesn’t work either 😮

😆 thanks

Use this link. It’ll get you 10% off any of the originals: baseblocks.fit/?minusthegym

@@MinusTheGym tyvm, doesnt seem to work unfortunately. Im in france

@@boursitocard hmm... interesting. That link should take off 10% at checkout. If it doesn't, I guess it might be a regional thing. Sorry it didn't work!

Which version did you purchase ?

There is a slight difference in the height on the high setting. I didn’t even notice until after I published this video. It’s about a 1-2 inch difference. But other than that, not much difference at all 🤷‍♂️

Yay! So glad to hear. Focus on whole greens (kale, spinach, arugula, chard, etc) as much as possible because they’re high in nitrates and will help the most 👌

I bought the pro because I live in an apartment, so will be needing to stow it away often and space is a premium. Used your link and the 10% off (thank you) worked for it, so I suppose Baseblock has changed their policy for now at least.
