My rings should be here at some point today. I'm brainstorming about where and how to mount them. Obviously, I'd like to have them in the garage, but my garage ceiling is only 8'4". I'm lucky that I can do a Jerk in there without putting a plate through the ceiling (or dislocating my shoulder). So doing Ring Pull-ups or Muscle-ups may be a tall order in our garage. I could always hang them from the Pull-up bar and do Ring Dips and Ring Push-ups, but am thinking I may have to have somewhere outside to mount the rings if I wanted to make my neighbors realize exactly how little gymnastics ability I have and try not to laugh too hard while they watch me attempt Muscle-ups and Ring Pull-ups. I thought about putting two 4x4s in the ground and setting them in concrete. Then I could have a beam going across the top of them (like a swing set). But as usual, I'm probably over thinking things. So I thought I'd post this dilemma here first. Any suggestions?

Could you put two eye hole lag bolts into the ceiling? Drill a pilot hole into the truss,then screw the bolts in and hang the ring straps using a carabinier or s hook?

I could do that, but I still don't think I could do muscle-ups since the ceiling is so short. May just build a swing set in the back yard and use it for working out until my daughter gets bigger.
