Matt H Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm looking for some wall mounted dipping bars. I've found the idel product in the first link, and would even go for the adjoined ones in the second link. Only thing is, I can only find them over in America!! Surely there has to be an equivelent product in the UK?! I just for the life of me can't find anything! Any body have any ideas?

creative Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 amazon marketplace from germany A UK one another UK one might be worth dropping these guys an email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Cheers for you reply amazon marketplace from germany Those are for chin ups. Not sure whether those two small bars sticking out would be suitable for a dipping application. A UK one another UK one] Aye spotted those two but they are quite large and sit on the ground making the cost a whopping £288.55. can't justify that! lol. might be worth dropping these guys an email Did come across them, might be a last resort for some custom ones but the sound of that rings pricey alarm bells!! ta Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Do you not have any half decent fitness stores near you? They usually stock something similar. Make sure it is a damn solid frame you attach them to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I've looked everwhere, locally and all over the net. There just doesn't seem to be anything that fits the bill. The only things i can find are big station set ups that cost a ridiculous amount. Might have to try and make something. At the end of the day all i want is two tubular bars sticking out of the wall. The ones in this link are perfect. I'd pay a bit more for something like this of this quality but alas. http://www.easychin.com/permadip.lasso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Umm, do i hold out for something over here, make my own, or fork out 73 pounds to a small US outfit and wieght for internation delivery ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 £73 for a bit of steel tubing??? Good grief... Get some CDS tubing and attach it to an outside wall, job done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point, delivery from the USA is the killer. It's for in the garage, i'd look a dick in my garden doing dipps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I agree with gav here. Cut your own pieces and take it to a welder. At the end of the day its just tubular steel plus I wouldn't be very confident of how long it would stay attached to the wall, a frame sounds like a better idea.

I've got a nice pull up bar attached already, i just need something to do the dips on In relation to your just arms: Pull ups - Biceps Dips - Triceps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thats shocking. Going to order one now. Can't work out the physics of how it stays up and holds your body weight etc. Quality It looks as though it hooks against the top of the arcatrave on the outside of the door, then pushes against the frame on the insde of the door. Quite clever, but your arcatrave has to be up to it Is dip's where you hold your entire weight then lower yourself down then back up? Yes that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you drag two table together and dip the the middle. Cheep option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I've just found this!!

Cheep option. lol, i've built a proper gym in my garage now, i've got all the exercises covered that i do in the proper gym apart from my dips And in keeping with the quality of it and space issues two tables arn't an option! you need to be able to grab on to bars anyway.

Thought i'd add that just for comedy value. Sounds like you have a good set up there. Cheeper in the long run than a gym membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate Aye, well i was paying 70 a month for the gym i went to, then my lifestyle changed some what and wasn't getting the use out of it.

Axle Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Just thought that it would be easier using underarm pullups and overarm pullups as it works the muscles better One is not necessarily better then the other. They work different muscle groups dependent on certain factors. You can emphasise a different amount of stress on certain muscle groups dependent on how narrow or wide your grip is, and wheather your grip is over, or under.

I've got a nice pull up bar attached already, i just need something to do the dips on In relation to your just arms: Pull ups - Biceps Dips - Triceps Overhand pullups to triceps where you face your hand away from you rather than towards, if you do both you work both muscles and get the benefit of using the same bar. Else you can do tricep dips from a solid chair or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
