Hey guys! I'm REALLY excited to show you this new product, the BULLBAR 2.0. This is the latest version of the BULLBAR, which is essentially an all-in-one calisthenics home gym. On the surface it looks like a foldable, portable free-standing pull-up bar, but once you start using it, you'll see that it's capable of so much: pull up and chin up variations, front lever progressions, dips, L-sits, tricep dips, tricep presses, push ups, weighted squats, split squats and you can even hang your rings on it! This is truly an amazing product and I'm so glad to be featuring it on the channel. I hope you guys dig it and consider buying your own. I guarantee you'll see a lot more of it in my upcoming videos. Don't forget to save $20 by using my code MINUS20: bullbarfit.com/ditsfj

I live in an apartment that doesn't really allow for any door frame pull-up bars, and the usual stand alone ones just seem impractical for my space. This product seems perfect, if I'm being honest. It'll definitely have to be one a pick eventually. If the price wasn't so high, I'd grab it now. But I understand that it's a quality product with a lot to offer.

I haven’t tried the Big Bar Pro yet, but I did see that it has parallel bars attached, and they taper for varying grip widths. That’s pretty awesome. I think the main advantage of the BullBar 2.0 is the portability. The Big Bar Pro doesn’t fold up like this. But to each their own. Some people might prefer the design of the Big Bar and it’s about the same price as the BullBar 2.0.

is it stable? for example, if I put a 20-kilo sandbag on the bottom of it can I connect rubber bands and do pulls and push exercises, like standing chest presses with the rubber band horizontally without the bars of this gym starting to slide on the floor and fall down or slide away? then there is a lot one could do if that option can be added! thanks for showing us, seems really smart to have it mobile in one's home compared to a Swedish ladder or something that needs to be drilled into the wall of one's living room... thanks!!

I haven’t tried weighing it down and doing horizontal band exercises with it. It’s not designed for that, honestly, but I bet with enough weight you could stop it from moving. I don’t know how much weigh that would be, though 🤷🏼‍♂️ And I’m not sure BullBar would recommend doing that.

How are these for ring pull ups and chin ups? Do you prefer this to the Duonamic?
@MinusTheGym
@MinusTheGym 7 ай бұрын
Hmm. That's a good question. The advantage to the Duonamic is I can put in a suitcase and fly to an airbnb with it - I can't do that with the BullBar. But the BullBar has it beat in most other aspects. The BullBar is more versatile and I trust it more than a door frame. So, I'd say I prefer the BullBar, except when traveling (flying) I'll definitely be using the Duonamic. When you hang rings from the BullBar, the height of the rings is a little low, so you're limited to L-sit pull ups and chin ups or bending your legs back, just like the Duonamic in most doorways.

Thank you for reviewing this product, but obviously you are benefiting from sales so one has to take what you say with that in mind. For instance you play down the fact that it’s only 6ft 8.5 inches tall - THAT is a big deal as one can clearly see that you can’t extend your legs when you use the pull-up bar. The other factor is that we don’t know if version 2.0 has fixed the problem with the pull-up bar failing, it would have been good if you had researched the problems with version 1.0 (there were a few) & asked the appropriate questions to the company.

I ca'n't thank you enough for doing this review. I have downsized to a small one bedroom condo in the Boston area. My bedroom is 12' X 15'. I have a foldable weight bench, and the Bowflex 560's (when they first came out and BF promised me the extension to 100 lbs and reneged.) I would have been stuck with the return shipping which was almost half the price, so I kept them. I watched multiple videos about the first BullBar attempt and it didn't fair well. How are you liking the 2.0 version? I assume you are sponsored by them, but I hope you can give me an honest answer. I respect you opinion. I also looked into the basebar and didn't think it was as good. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. I had to retire from being a Physical Therapist due to cancer, yet I still believe in exercising........all the way til the end. 😎 💪
@MinusTheGym

Hey there. My honest opinion is that the BullBar is the best option for those who want a freestanding calisthenics home gym that’s easily portable and can be “tucked away.” If portability isn’t a factor, there may be other good options out there, such as BaseBlocks’ Big Bar Pro. But I’ve been using my BullBar 2.0 consistently for nearly two months now and I’m very impressed with it. This could be the only bar I owned and I’d be able to keep up on my fitness and even make progress in many areas, so I love it. Btw, I’m really sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis, but good on you to keep exercising. Stay positive and maintain that fighting attitude. I truly believe the words “where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

It's a shame as it looks like a fantastic bit of kit.

@MinusTheGym

BullBar beats the original Big Bar, imo. It’s the same height, but BullBar folds down nicely, is easily portable and has dip handles to attach for a variety of other exercises. That said, BaseBlocks did release a Big Bar Pro that has parallel bars attached and is 8” taller, but it doesn’t look compact at all. It’s massive. And it’s the same price as the BullBar (actually $50 more at the moment). So, don’t get me wrong, I love BaseBlocks, but I think I’d go with BullBar over the original or pro Big Bar, unless the extra height was truly necessary and I didn’t need it to be compact/portable. In that case, Big Bar Pro might be a good option.

The Big Bar Pro from BaseBlocks is a valid comparison because it has the parallel bars attached and is the same price as the BullBar. I’ve never used the Big Bar Pro (I have the original Big Bar) but the Pro looks pretty awesome to me. It assembles together with click pins which is pretty simple, but it’s not as easy as the BullBar. The main advantage of the BullBar is how it folds up and is highly portable. It pops up in a minute flat. Big Bar won’t be that quick but it’s probably a bit sturdier. So, if portability and easy takedown are not important to you, the Big Bar Pro might be worth looking into. I can’t speak to the Fit! home gym, though. Never used it and don’t know much about it 🤷🏼‍♂️

@MinusTheGym
@MinusTheGym 7 ай бұрын
Yeah, I showed it briefly at the end of the exercise section. It’s great for training dips, muscle ups, ring push ups and pretty much everything above the rings. For exercises below the rings, rows are fine, as are L-sit pull ups and chin ups, but any outward exercises like face pulls or reverse flys don’t work because your weight will potentially move the whole BullBar. Hope that helps!

Bit off topic but does greasing the groove make u stronger than training the fatigue method for something like 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps
@MinusTheGym
@MinusTheGym 5 ай бұрын
They’re both effective in my experience. GtG can absolutely make you stronger. In fact, that method was the only way I was able to reach 21 pull ups in one set (my best PR about 3-4 years ago). Pavel is a huge advocate of GtG too. It balances the training variables by being low intensity yet high volume and frequency. The opposite of that - high intensity but low frequency/volume - is also an effective method because the training variables are still balanced. That’s why I’ve also made huge gains in strength by training a movement only twice per week for 3-5 sets but with high intensity (to failure and in a lower rep range). Between the training variables of frequency, intensity and volume, you always want at least one of those to be low so you can recover adequately. As long as that’s the case, the method should theoretically work for strength and even hypertrophy if diet is on point. So, in a nutshell, both methods are effective and I believe the “better” of the two comes down to the individual’s schedule, preferences and specific goals.

@@MinusTheGym ahh ok then. I thought gtg was just better for increasing rep numbers and form with some indirect strength and hypertrophy gains too. So could i do them both on the same day. I have my higher intensity workouts and since gtg shouldnt fatigue u, couldn't i do both of them on the same days without any compromisation. Im trying to get better to be able to do things like high waist line pullups and planche pushups. And also can gtg be done with added weight

I studied Physics in college and was very Pro Metric System, got into huge arguments with my Dad about it, lol. Then I studied Machine Shop with some actual hands-on Physicists who had to build their own experimental equipment. They were pretty emphatic about the Accuracy of the American system of feet and inches. Plus, they had the experimental evidence to back it up. The Metric system is great for easy Math, but for Accuracy, there is just some kind of Synchronicity to the Geometry and Arithmetic of the Natural Universe that is lost with the Decimal System. I'm all Pro Base Twelve now! There are Twelve Notes in the Chromatic Scale on the Piano, Twelve Months in the Year, etc., etc. Coinkydink? Nope. Cheers, Merry Christmas and Salam! Jack

Yes, I live in the UK and we're supposed to have changed to the Metric System 50 years ago, but it never really happened. Schools stopped teaching the Imperial System in the late 1980s, however, most people are still using miles, pints, feet, inches, pounds and stones. We currently have a hybrid system where young people and most immigrants use the Metric System and older people use the Imperial System. Both demographics are confused though because our petrol is sold in litres, but our road signs are in miles, yards and feet. Milk is sold in pints by supermarkets shops, but in litres by smaller shops. Personally, I prefer the Imperial System because it's organic, life-based and emotive. Metric is useful scientifically, but for everyday use Imperial is much better.

The biggest advantage is Economies of Scale - we pay more because most of the world uses metric, so imperial is a smaller batch. I do like that our measurements have ‘key’ values - 6’ is the start of tall (1.83m - LOL!). 200lbs, etc.
