Question for those in the know:
My two car garage has living space above it, so I'm not worried about hanging some shelving in there.
However, my one car has attic space only above it, and due to his it's insulation in the attic, and a sheetrock ceiling in the garage, I have no idea what size joists are up there. Should I be concerned about hanging a pull up bar (on two joists), and an "x mount" for a TRX to a single joist? I don't want to do any damage to the structure by applying a load it can't handle.
At my previous house I had exposed joists in the basement, and knew exactly what I was dealing with there, and knew it wouldn't be a problem. Although, my wife did complain about the subfloor creaking while I was using the pull up bar or TRX.
To hopefully address ahead of time criticism of suspension training, yes, I know in general I should looking to use a barbell and plates for true strength training, but money and space won't allow for that with my current situation, and for a while I won't be able to do any "heavy lifting," due to an injury. (actually a reinjury for what caused me to use the TRX years ago). I'm hoping to rebuild/maintain fitness at home, and hopefully get back on the Wendler 5 -3-1 program for strength, when the doc and PT give their blessing, and I can go back to a real gym.
