I'm on my way. Once I get that and get the low bar set, it's just a matter of finding a daily schedule that works. I also, just for the hell of it, did the due diligence of a control test last night. I definitely cannot do a pull up yet (I only tried a dead hang...dunno about kipping), but I don't think I'm far off. I am trying to treat this as a little scientific experiment, which is why I'm insisting on making sure I've got my ducks in a row first.

I installed it over my office door, where I can do a couple chinups each time I walk out of my office during the day. Currently I can only do a few chinups, max, but after a few days I'm beginning to get stronger. Looking forward to incorporating more of your above variations into my regimen. </em> Josh recommends the following bar:

I'm quite excited about trying to plan this routine into my week. I'm reasonably sure that, to get all the equipment in close proximity so I can do "for time", however, that I'm going to need my own, so I'm going to need to research some sort of pull-up bar that I can fold away when I'm done.
