Set-up
If there are multiple pairs of parallel bars, or an adjustable pair, try various width positions. About 22 inches or 56 centimeters between the centers of the bars is a good starting point for most men. Women and slender or small men will be more comfortable with closer bars. Big men may prefer wider bars. Try v-shaped bars to find the optimum hand spacing for you. Face the part of the unit where the v-shaped bars come together, not where they fan out. Another option is to use a power rack. If its uprights are suitably spaced, position a bar on saddles on the front uprights, and another bar on the rear uprights. Set the height of the bars at what’s ideal for you.
Some v-shaped bars have thick handles, which enable the load to be spread over a bigger area of the hands, and produce greater comfort than regular-thickness bars. The thick handles also permit fine-tuning of hand positioning, for greater comfort.
Regardless of the type of set-up, the bars must be securely fixed so that they can’t wobble as you dip.
