When you think parallel bars, you might immediately think of gymnasts.<\/p>\n

But, whether you're working out at home or in a gym, and no matter what your goals are, you should consider doing parallel bar exercises. Parallel bars are amazing tools that allow you to use nothing but your bodyweight to make amazing strength and muscle gains, particularly in your core and upper body.<\/p>\n

We love them because of how versatile they are, i.e. how much you can do and how many options you have. And, given the right set of parallel bars, there are many ways to modify the exercises to suit both beginner and advanced users.<\/p>\n

Simply put, parallel bar exercises are fundamental to any well-balanced workout program because not only do they build muscle and strength, but they also teach you to master and take control of your bodyweight.<\/p>\n

Dips<\/h3>\n

First up are Dips.<\/p>\n

Dips are a staple when it comes to bodyweight exercises. They are an unbelievably effective upper body exercise, which can be done on single or double parallel bars.<\/p>\n

On a single bar, dips will primarily target you triceps (the backs of your upper arms). On double parallel bars, they will also target your shoulders and chest. Done right, they'll develop core strength as well.<\/p>\n

Below I'll show you both single and double bar variations in order of difficulty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
