my BW is more or less like you 89-92kg

next project will be the dips station.

This is other alternatieve of dips station.

Post #20

i only can think the way by using concrete lo

just modified my dips station, the width shorten to 22". just nice

After adding the few bracing, it is damn stable now, but still alil shaking, but much much better

i even seen some1 was doing parkour at clarke quay lol

don't think so, it is just comfortable. previously made it too wide.
the width now is 21-22"

Too wide can lead to shoulder injury lol in long term.
