IShowSpeed has built a reputation as one of the most athletic streamers on the internet. He has raced Olympic sprinters Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo and famously jumped over two supercars in a stunt that got him temporarily banned on YouTube. The guy has kept pace with an actual cheetah in Africa.
On March 28, Speed took viewers to his bathroom on stream and showed them the one thing he credits for his back strength and overall conditioning. It is not a gym membership or a personal trainer. It is a pull-up bar in his doorway.
Speed Says He Does Pull-Ups Every Time He Uses The Bathroom
Speed walked chat through his routine and called the whole setup a “cheat code.” He has a pull-up bar mounted in the doorway of his bathroom, and he does a set every single time he walks in there. “Every day, in the morning, I do pull-ups. My back has gotten so much stronger from putting a pull-up bar in my bathroom. I really recommend, everybody who’s into fitness, put a pull-up bar in your bathroom,” he said.
Then he broke down the math. “You pee like five times a day, right? Every time you go to the bathroom, do ten pull-ups. That’s fifty reps, five sets of ten. I have gotten so much stronger from doing these, I don’t think y’all understand.”

The logic is simple enough. Most people use the bathroom several times a day, and if you knock out a quick set every time you go in there, the volume adds up fast without ever setting foot in a gym.
Speed Did A Leg Raise Version On Stream To Prove His Point
To back up what he was saying, Speed did a modified pull-up on camera with his legs raised out in front of him. That variation is a lot harder than a standard pull-up because it forces your core, arms, and back to work at the same time. He made it look easy and told viewers it was already his fourth set of the day. “Trust me, bro, that’s probably my fourth set today. After that, you go on with your day. Now I’m leaving. You see that?” he said before walking off.
Whether or not fans actually go out and buy a pull-up bar after this is a different story. But the results are hard to argue with. Speed has done things on camera that most people could not do, even with a full gym routine, and his Africa tour alone showed the kind of conditioning he is working with.

A pull-up bar in a bathroom sounds too simple to work, but if you are doing fifty reps a day without even thinking about it, that is a lot of volume over a week without ever planning a workout.
