what mr. poo said. I thought this was a climbing gene thing, as is stemming door/hallway frames. My kids and I habitually provoke my wife with these antics.

Oh btw I know u don't need to be a genetic monster to do that move, just so happens that this guy is. Also new trick i did just mucking around yesterday...
You need a kind of rectangle of bars/wood on the ceiling.
Grab 2 of the bars and lift ur feet up on to the perpendicular board to u (at ur feet not ur head ;) ) then roll over, stretch ur arms out to the other perpendicular board and do a pull/push up facing the ground, its kinda cool to see

In reply to: what a silly question. as a climber it is your born duty to molest every door frame in sight. touch them as you walk by, practice crimps on them as you stand under one while talking to a friend, and do as many possible pullups without rippin the frame off the wall. it isnt something you necessarily mean to do, you fingers are just drawn to door jams as a climber. so door jam on...
and I thought I was the only one...

I tried those a couple times till i almost ripped one off and then fell down a flight of stairs....What you really have to do is find a pavillon or a gazebo (how ever that is spelled) With wood beams and traverse it!!

hmmm... others have the addiction to check if they can hang on to the smallest ledges of a door frame, I always try, most of the time i can get at least 5 pull ups, then theres the small slippery ones where i slip off and look like an idiot.... its still fun though.

I can definitely tell which ones are my "usuals". They're totally ripping off the wall. Luckily my dad doesn't notice too much. He didn't notice a hole I put in the wall with a football for two days! J
ust wondering, can anybody do a one-arm off a door frame? I'm about 99 percent sure I'll never be able to.

As I live in a rented apartment, I am not allowed to nail training boards. So I use the door frame to do some pull ups once in a while. I find that if you come straight up and not pull outwards, the frame can hold the weight.

I've also found that (while it's counterintuitive) if you do one-handed, one finger pullups, the doorframe is only stressed over a small spot, and is less likely to break.

Try doing them with one hand on each side of the door that way you arent putting all he weight on one side and i think i works your triceps a little better.

Years ago, before there were campus boards, etc., door frames got a lot of use by rock climbers. Here's a photo of a one-arm pull-up on a 1/2" surface that is virtually the same thing.

As for the front lever, it's only a fraction harder to do on a door frame than on a bar or rings. On the still rings - its gymnastic home - it's considered a class B move, where A is easiest and E is hardest.

Funny Story:
My brother is a swimmer, and very into his body. Very typical jock-type. At Thanksgiving dinner one year he mentioned (with obvious awe) that one of the kids on his college swim team could do 10 pullups. 10!
I said I didn't think that was all that impressive. He bet me $20 I couldn't do 10 pull-ups. I looked around and found a door frame that looked stout enough and was about to take him up on the challenge. He stopped me by laughing outloud. He declared that there was no way I could do 5 pull-ups on the door frame. The bet was upped to $40 for 10 pullups... I quit at 15. Easiest $40 I ever made.
