A dip bar, also known as a parallel bar, is an essential piece of equipment for any strength training program. Dip bars can be used for a variety of exercises including tricep dips, chin-ups, and knee raises. While you can purchase a dip bar at most sporting goods stores, it's also easy to make your own at home.
To make a homemade dip bar, you will need two sturdy pieces of wood or metal that are approximately four feet long. Place the pieces of wood or metal parallel to each other and secure them together with bolts or screws. Once the pieces are securely fastened together, wrap them in padding or rubber to prevent slipping and protect your floors.
Now that you have your homemade dip bar, you're ready to start working on those upper body gains!
