That last one is totally alien to me. OH and the curved line one, there is also an L-shaped one next to it too!

Thanks

@jhillaire84

1. Just to have fun climbing up and down.
2. A balance beam.
3. Possibly attachment points for assisted pull ups or maybe a removable swing.

@tfosria 2 looks like a grind beam for sk8boredting.

 

[tfosria]

@illysook I considered it but I'm not sure you could follow the curves?

 

[jhillaire84]

@tfosria Thanks, friend! I appreciate the answers

@tfosria I want a looong straight balance beam ;_;

@jhillaire84 the 1st one is a pullup bar for people with uneven length arms

 

[jhillaire84]

@daexorn Lol

 

[dawn16]

@daexorn 2nd is for people with very short arms. Or very short legs.

 

[stonesoffire]

@daexorn I actually have uneven arm lengths, my left arm can't straighten fully so it won't reach as far lol

@jhillaire84 1 is a bar to see how high you can jump.

 

[jhillaire84]

@archiel OH! Makes sense

 

[bltn]

@archiel Sounds plausible, but it doesn't look very useful for measuring vertical leap without any sort of markings for vertical distance.

@bltn Proof: http://fitness.playcore.com/exercises/high-jump/

 

[hanita053]

@bltn I have seen these at parcourses specifically marked as 'vertical leap test.' But, like pictured here, no heights are marked

 

[dawn16]

@bltn Remember it is designed for kids.

 

[tfosria]

@archiel Looks awfully high if you're supposed to jump over and awfully low if you're supposed to tap it with your fingers.

 

[hanita053]

@jhillaire84 That last one is totally for finger pullups, close grip vs wide grip.

[sup]j/k don't do that, i have no idea what it's for[/sup]

 

[jhillaire84]

@hanita053 What a recipe for disaster that'd be!

@jhillaire84 Obviously the last one is for assisted front levers for trainees with nipple rings.
