Never having being a barbell enthusiast (helps that i am not great at the big three lifts), i gravitated towards pull ups, push ups and dips very early in my training-span.

And you can geek out on dip bars or pull up bars the same way one can with barbells. Which isn’t a sizeable audience yet in India.

For example, the ideal distance between dip handles is 22 inches for most Indian men. It is about 18-19 inches for most women.

You could have parallel handles as in the image or V handles. The alignment of the handles subtly changes how the shoulder is rotated. That can more comfortable for some who don’t like doing dips on account of how it feels on the shoulders (lots of elevation, internal rotation, external rotation is not everyone’s cup of tea).

Or the handle diameters 40-50 mm is the sweet spot for most people. Unless you have freakishly large hands, you might prefer larger.

This build in the frame is a standalone dip stand. I really prefer standalone pull up, chin up and dip stands. They do the job better than combo units. Combo units smash an anemic dip handle into a pull up frame. It’s a little to wide or narrow based on the model. And it gets in the way of a good pull up too.

My standalone dip stand is nestled in the middle of my pull up/ladder squat setup.

This one can be dismantled. And the handle height is adjustable. As are the foot peg heights.

Made in Madras as always with 70 percent of the material being reclaimed from scrap sources including those glorious handles made from seamless Japanese steel pipes.
