Hello!
I have a plan to build a pull up bar using pressure-treated lumber and some form of bar. Considering a regular pipe, but my question is how to best secure the bar/pipe in the wood, and how to make it stable. Without it wobbling in the slightest.
Planning to have it about 2.5m high. I'm also considering adding an angle so that I can have another bar, but significantly higher up. To be able to use gymnastics rings. Any ideas? Concrete footings or cast in the ground? And if so, how?
Thank you in advance!

the question first is the pipe, what kind of pipe? how thick?
I would probably drill holes for the pipe in the posts.
and the angle must have some reinforcement on it

I had made in print 100x100mm where the standing consists of two upside-down T:s.
These are assembled together at the top and bottom.
I would make the rod in threaded rod with a plastic tube outside. Jula + Byggmax = cheap.
How far out on the angle are we talking about?

I had fixed an old conduit at the plumber's, they are incredibly sturdy for that sort of thing....
drilled a 20-22mm (depending on the dimension of the pipe) hole in the wood and then a 5-6mm hole in the pipe and screwed a long screw down into the end of the wood/through the pipe....and to make it steady, dig down a concrete plinth for an ex 100x100 post as JKrister suggests....

Thank you for your answers!
I'm thinking of a bar that is 2.3 inches (like at the gym I go to), which would roughly be 5.8cm in diameter.
I was thinking simply a 90-degree angle. Please develop the idea with the upside-down T's. What do you mean there? The plan, as mentioned, is casting or pillars for now, but I am open to alternatives!
Do you think a crossbeam is needed for stability, or are the bars + really deep holes for the construction timber sufficient?
Is 100mm enough, or should I aim for 120*100? Does anyone have experience with this project? They can be found in various parts of the country at wellness areas, for example, Skrylle outside Lund!

I thought about it like the position you make when playing hangman. Except without the noose then
