    Does anybody know if there is an outdoor gym in Cork city? Preferably near the UCC campus. I'm looking for a place with both pull up bars and parallel bars. Any info appreciated!

    I've not heard of an outdoor gym in Cork though but you should try asking in the Cork City forum over here maybe for more localised information :)

    My favourite outdoor dip bars & pullup bars are not intended for that purpose. The dip bar is a right angled railing, and the "pullup bar" is an overhanging edge on a roof/shelter.

    So keep an eye out for alternatives. Many car parks have high limiting bars which can be used for chins, and might have railings for bikes for dips.

    I agree that the bike rack would be ideal for dips but a roof edge wouldn't be great for muscle ups and other movements. I'll probably have to adapt alright tho and use equipment designed for different use!
