Width between the handles? I made it according to the video you posted up (Homemade Gym Equipment). It varies for different people. I intended to make mine more for tricep training instead of chest but I misjudged the distance a bit so its a little wider than I wanted. The width should be around the length of your elbow to your middle finger plus a few cm according to your preference. (Around 18-22 inches).

Why not make them with a V taper instead of parallels?
That could probably solve the width issue. |

I think you are referring to this
 those are called gironda dips and the width at the end is approximately 32'' what makes the V-shape awesome is that is easier on the shoulders and U can vary the grip width easily.  I just drew an autoCAD file for this station and gonna get it fabricated very soon. I have done a crossfit type pullup bar with gymnastic ring and my own blast strap attachment. I will take a pic of it soon This post has been edited by ken86: Jan 8 2010, 09:31 AM |

RM150 is quite a nice price.If you can't do at least 10 bodyweight dips, don't bother trying to use them. I also built my own pseudo-rings aka blast straps, with 1/4 inch chains and d-handles, great substitute for the rings at half the price. I will take a picture when I m free Can post the pic of your pseudo ring, want to get some idea how to build it thanks |

My next project would be a fat bar. Which would be damn handy since I don't have a barbell at home. Only complication is I can't find the Oly weight plates. Searched at Carrefour and Jusco, only got those small 1" diameter hole plates. Any ideas where to get oly plates cheap?
