Anyone know a cheap option for bars to do dips on?

 

Cheapest on tinternet so far is £159.

 

Can't have some lash up contraption because it will have to live indoors and support 20+ stone for weighted dips. 2 chairs just won't do it.

 

Must be at least 3 1/2 feet off ground because of dipping belt.

 

And I am crap at welding.

Cant you keep that sort of thing to yourself please. This is a public forum.

I dip twix bars in my coffee? Not going to help get rid of the bingo wings though.

i just do it in the corner of the kitchen worksurfaces

 

There's the problem.

 

That's what I have done for years, but have just had a new kitchen fitted, and the corner has moved so it is over a weak joint. Don't want to risk busting the joint, or scratching the new oak doors with the weight plates.

 

I don't like gyms, Mick. There is quite a high proportion of tossers in most of them.

 

I don't just do dips, but they are such a core part of my training I can't do without them.

 

Can anyone lend me £159?

 

I seem to have spent all my money on a new kitchen....:w00t:

Of course, but tossers are everywhere, that does,nt mean you have to mix with them. Just do youre stuff and go. You wont get the same workout at home like you would in a gym.

That is true, but I like the flexibility of being able to train whenever I want at home.

 

Do the heavy stuff in my mate's garage gym a couple of times a week, but it's a pain if I miss it 'cos I'm working late or out pricing, which is more of an issue with the lighter nights now.

 

And I'm too tight to pay gym fees!
