Hey everyone!! I have seen many videos about people building pullup bars in their backyards and I wanted to give it a try, since the park close to where I live has one but it's for kids and if I fully hang from it and stay loose with my arms I find myself with my knees on a 90° angle (as if I'm sitting on a chair with my hands up xD). I have watched many videos and I took some notes on the materials that I need, but I still need to figure out some stuff.
If I'm 1.90m tall(I'm from Italy), how high should I set the bar height? I'm new to pullups and calisthenics but I'd like to build something that allows me to do everything once I learn the exercises (like pullups, muscle ups, L sit pullups, typewriter and so on). I'd like to build a very sturdy setup because I'm pretty tall and weight around 80/85kg and most of the bars i see online or at stores like decathlon are too low or too thin and move a lot. So, if you have any tips on an ideal lenght of those 4x4 posts or any other advice let me know. Thanks for your time!
