Are there any calisthenic exercises for pulling, beyond pullups? Seems like most of them require weights or machines.

- 1ark 1y agoSome form of horizontal pulling such as Aussie pullups. It's even better in this scenario. If you have the pullup bar at home already, get some gymnastic rings for example.
- globular-toast 1y agoYou can do bodyweight rows if you have a low bar or even using a table. Way back before I even set foot in a gym I built strength at home doing press ups, pulls ups/chin ups (using a door frame bar), rows using a table and dips using the back of two chairs.

They aren't expensive, but you do need to attach something solid to the ceiling to connect them to (I use a piece of iron angle painted white, lagged screwed into ceiling joists). The straps are quickly adjustable and you can do a bunch of pulling exercises, including the rows. The real advantage of the rings is that they allow your wrists and elbows to change angle through the pull path which can greatly reduce the stress on the joints and feel more natural too.
- kyorochan 1y agoNot strictly calisthenic, but you can do a lot with bands as well.
- wodenokoto 1y agoIf rings are included in calisthenics and not counted as machines, then that opens up a lot of variation. Facepulls with rings is a really nice exercise
