For example,tube 104 b may be slid out fromtube 204 b, andpin 120 inserted through the proximal through-hole 206 oftube 104 b and the distal through-holes 206 oftubes tubes 104 do not have to be slid out consecutively,e.g. tube 104 b may remain locked in intube 204 b withpin 120, even if 204 b has been slid out from 204 a. As a second example,telescoping tube 204 a may be slid out fromouter tube 104 a, andtelescoping tubes telescoping tube 204 a by insertingpin 120 through the distal through-holes 206 oftube -
Apparatus 100′ may be raised to lock pull upbar 122 at a higher height, for use or storage. This may be accomplished by removingpin 120 from the through-holes 206 of the plurality of telescoping tubes 204, and sliding or pushing at least one inner telescoping tube into an outer telescoping tube. At the desired height,pin 120 is inserted through the aligned through-holes 206 of thetelescoping tubes 104. It will be understood that there are numerous alternative mechanisms (in addition to the use of pins and through-holes) for locking the telescoping tubes in their desired positions (such as by use of threaded locking collars), all of which are intended to fall within the scope of the current disclosure. - Exercises, including pull-ups, may be performed on the
apparatus 100 at any set height variation.Stability bar 112, exposedsections 132 of thesecond segment 105, and accessory rings 126 may also be used for performing exercises.
