"but how do i do pull-ups when the gym is closed"?

the pull-up is a foundation of back, grip and really overall strength. while usually done on a pull-up bar at the gym it is one of the most basic of functional movements, think climbing a tree, a fence, onto a roof etc. in these surreal times of gym closures and self-isolation here are a few ways to get creative in keeping up with pull-up workouts while moving forward instead of the reverse.

if you have the requisite strength, door frames are often a perfect place to keep your pull-up game strong. obviously you need the proper ceiling height as well as a strong door frame.

another perfect pull-up paradise are exposed beams in garages, lofts and attics.

obviously if you have a set of rings then any tree becomes an ideal pull-up station, in fact with the proper branch structure, the tree itself is your ideal outdoor pull-up station.

also, do not overlook the functionality of a towel. that can draped over a tree branch, an exposed beam and more. this is an amazing grip builder.

likewise if you have a strong fence at home or even those surrounding public tennis courts and baseball/softball complexes, climbing the fence is a perfect pull-up complement or substitute. be smart.

in terms of reps EMOM (each minute on the minute), EHOTH (each hour on the hour), ascending reps, descending reps, static holds. Be creative, mix in push-ups, lunge steps, running, BW squats....Have fun. Stay safe. Keep your chin up from me & Crossfit Denver.
