Exercises Similar to Chinup/Pullup?

Can anyone advise me of what other exercises can I do in place of a chinup/pullup, but does the same job, as i dont have access to a pull up bar.

Thanks

lat pulldowns

Unfortunately i have no access to a machine for that, I only have a bench with barbell and hopefully getting some dumbells soon.

Not really. Unless you have access to a lat pull-down machine which is the ugly, fat stepsister to the pullup. And if you have a pull-down machine you should sell it and get a pullup bar.

A tree branch will substitute nicely for a pullup bar. Or a rafter. Extra points for creativity

Thanks palindrome, ill make a plan for a pull up bar.

I’m sorry I was a little snarky here, as it appears that you were not asking for a substitution because you couldn’t do them, but because you just didn’t have a bar.

Anyways, keep your eyes open for something. You might have to run down to a playground somewhere to find one. Whatever. Don’t let your lack of equipment be a hindrance for you to get stronger. Find ways around the obstacles placed in front of you. There are more kinds of strength than lifting heavy weights. Good luck!
