G.I. Jachel

This is a shout out to my aweso husband. I've been bugging him for a long time to make me a pull up bar. For those of you who don't know I'm just slightly obsessed with crossfit. I've been going to Heber Valley Crossfit since May and I LOOOOOOVE it. Tasha and Carli are amazing trainers.They really know how to keep you motivated and keep the WODs interesting.
Back to the bar. Apparently it's made from a stabilizing crossbar off an '80's 2WD Toyota pick up and some scrap medal from the barn. My husband is a Toyota fanatic. No joke. We have house full of  Toyota 4wheeling mags to prove it. He's also somewhat of a ih8mud superstar (that is a Toyota website where you post all the awesome sshtuff you do to your rig). His friend Tom was going to make a bumper sticker for his FJ40 that said "Yes, I know Jake". That is how super cool my husband is.
Back to the bar again. It's awesome. Honestly, how can a pull up bar that's covered in grease and welded together not be super awesome. Do I feel like a badass? Yes I do.

The whole bar and a not so bad pic of our driveway.
Jake made this bar on the same day that I did my very first unassisted pull up. Hooray!
Now I just have to work on being able to do more than one.
