Exercises You Can Do with the GORNATION Static Bar
This single piece of equipment is extremely versatile, allowing you to perform a wide variety of calisthenics exercises. Here are some key exercises (from basic to advanced) you can practice on the Static Bar:
- L-sit and tuck holds: Sit on the bar and lift your legs to train core strength and hip flexors.
- Planche training: Great for all planche variations, including tuck planche, straddle planche, and full planche.
- Front and back lever: High enough to train front lever and back lever, strengthening the back, core, and shoulders.
- Front and Back Levers: The Static Bar is high enough off the ground (especially at its taller settings) to practice front lever and back lever progressions. You can lie underneath and grip the bar to perform front lever holds, tuck front levers, or back levers, which strengthen your lats, core, and overall back muscles. The bar’s solid support is ideal for these difficult static holds, as it won’t tip or move as you hang below it.
- Inverted Rows (Australian Pull-Ups): For a pulling exercise, you can do bodyweight rows by lying underneath the bar, grabbing it, and pulling your chest up to it. This is great for building your back and bicep strength, and you can elevate your feet to increase the difficulty once basic rows become easy.
What Fitness Level Is the Static Bar Suited For?
One of the great things about the GORNATION Static Bar is that it’s suited for all fitness levels — from beginners to elite calisthenics athletes. If you’re a beginner, this bar can be your introduction to bodyweight training beyond basic floor exercises. It provides a stable, elevated platform to practice easier variations of exercises. For example, a newcomer can use the bar for incline push-ups (to build up to regular push-ups) or to alleviate wrist pressure during dips and planks. The ergonomic grip will help you develop wrist strength and proper form gradually, building a solid foundation.
For advanced athletes, the Static Bar really shines as a tool for high-level static holds and endurance training. Experienced calisthenics practitioners can use it to train moves like the planche, front lever, back lever, and handstand push-ups — exercises that require significant strength and control. The bar’s stability and strong construction are crucial for safely training these skills; you can trust it to support your weight through intense holds and explosive exercises.
