I looked at this but got the Black Mountain Products one. They all seem very similarly designed, mainly different tube specs and joining methods. The one I got is large, suitable for broad shouldered people.Thick bars seem to be the norm with these units. It cost me close to $60 but they dropped price to $50. It is very sturdy! No problems dipping even at close to 270lb. Assembly wasn't as quick because you need to bolt it together but it has no feeling of wobble or unsturdy dipping, and that's worth some hassle to me. I'm 6'1" and it's tall enough for body weight for sure, though hanging plates too low may touch the floor.
Nice I haven't tried the Black Mountain brand. I actually sold these and got the Lebert Equalizers and I LOVE them. Here is a link to the review I did for it: ruclips.net/video/KhYSC8JEmzI/видео.html
Awesome! I did end up selling mine for the Lebert Fitness Equalizers but this one is also excellent. I only got rid of this one because I want to do some exercises using only one of the bars but because of the design of this one it will fall over. I am glad you enjoy it :)
I got this thing years ago in a Black Friday package with the dipping belt, tubing, pullup bar, and the gymnast straps. The straps are a game changer for this thing, I don't know if they still sell them but man...especially if you have a small space they are a must buy. Look for that package deal, for anyone looking to buy this, I got it all for about $110, though that was back in 2011. The original pullup bar is decent, too, and I've had a couple. Basic but solid.
Also, FWIW, I started on the equipment at about 320 or 330 lbs, and it did feel solid even then, and it's still great now that I'm at about 200. It has lasted me almost 9 years now, and even my kids play around on it on rainy/snow days. And if anyone is curious, it does seem to carry over to barbell and dumbbell pressing, too.
Great work! For the straps, why did you find them beneficial? I personally just drop to my feet for assistance on doing extra reps but I'm curious if you did any other exercises that assisted you with the straps.
@@GamerBody for body weight flyes, specifically, they are amazing. I also found pushups while hanging adds in an entirely new element especially for strength. I also was able to do a sort of modified Iron Cross, which really hit shoulders and biceps in new ways, and they work great for using a hamstring curl as well. You can also hang them from the pullup bar in a doorway and use them very much like a TRX type of setup. It felt like I was able to work even more parts of my body while using them, sort of hitting every plane of movement, so I was able to do more than just push/pull, but also hit that lateral movement as well.
Hmm not sure. I haven't used this in a long time as I now use the Lebert Fitness Equalizers. Anyone know if they have changed it since I made this review?
@@BobDole-x1x you can set the width yourself, and it is more stable (at least the one I had tested a while back, not sure if updates were made). At your height you should be fine with just the standard size, you won't need the XL I don't think. Note, you will still need to bend you knees though.
Hey mate Sorry to bring up an old video. I am looking for a way to workout the Outer part of my Lats at home (Due to COVID Lockdown in Australia). Do you think it would be possible to attach Handles to each side and do Widegrip Pullups with this Dip Station? Like what you were doing @3.13 seconds, but with Handles attached there to hit more wider Lats. Let me know if you think that could work. Cheers
Do you mean the grips that hang down? Know that this exercise, inverted row, primarily works the mid back. For the best lat activation, you want to do an overhead pull (such as pull-up or lat pulldown). I recommend the Crossgrips which are doorway pull-up handles. They are expensive, but one of the best home workout investments I have made: ruclips.net/video/d2cb6uYF6RQ/видео.html
@@GamerBody Thanks for the reply man. Yeah thats what I meant. I'm staying at my wifes parents place during lockdown, and I don't trust those things that go over the doorframe lol. I just ordered something called "The Basebar" Looks pretty cool, and saw the guy doing L-Sit pullups. I used to be able to do 10 reps of Wide Lat Pullups, but guess we'll see if I can do any of those L-Sit Pullups when it arrives :D Cheers for the reply man
Nice I hope it is tall enough. Just note that "wide lat pull-ups" don't target the lats any more than a standard pull-up. If you prefer that method that is fine, but no additional benefit doing them wide vs standard. It might even be worse as it puts you in an awkward setup and reduces rang of motion.
@@GamerBody Interesting mate. I'm 6"0 and saw a review from a guy who was 6"5 and he was able to use it without issue, so I should be fine. Not a fan of the close grip pull-up. I feel my biceps activate too much and they burn out before I feel much in my lats. Hopefully I'll be back in the gym soon and I can go back to using a lat pulldown. But for now I think this BaseBar thing will do
No, not this one. However, the Lebert Fitness Equalizers (which I have now) can be set at whatever width you need as they are separate pieces. Feel free to see my review here: ruclips.net/video/Y-7SPB641Ck/видео.html
You may need to bring them up a bit, but it is certainly possible. I use the Lebert Fitness Equalizer XLs right now and it's basically the same. I do have to bend at the knees not to touch the ground or not go super deep into the dip.
I am getting one of these soon it’s in delivery can’t wait I have been doing my workouts on my pull up bar and the ground I also can use my pull up bar to do l sits if you put it on the ground. But I can only really hold it for 15 seconds since it is on the ground. Hopefully I will increase some time on the dip bar since it is taller. Thank you for the review
Nice! My favorite dip-bar station is the Lebert Fitness Equalizers. I am actually decommissioning mine as it won't be in my programming for 2021, but if you want a dip bar station, it is the best of the best. I have the XL being 5'11".
No. I wouldn't say it is better than a gym one, but it is solid for a home dip bar station. It is definitely big enough for you at 5'8". While it is a good product, my favorite is the Lebert Fitness Equalizers as they are the most stable and easy to store. You can see my review here: ruclips.net/video/lJvbuboFpfI/видео.html
I have not tried that so unfortunately I don't have any great advice for that setup. I suspect you need to evenly distribute the weight, but find the proper tension of the bands to make it so it is not too easy or too hard. Sorry I don'y have more help on this as I never tried it with assistance bands.
One has your body more upright while the other has you lean forward more to activate more of the chest. I also use mind muscle connection to focus on the interaction of the primary muscle being worked.
No problem! I ended up selling these and got the Lebert Fitness Equalizers which I find are better overall. Both are great products though and the Lebert bare are not cheap.
Check out my review :) ruclips.net/video/KhYSC8JEmzI/видео.html I actually own the Lebert Equalizers now and got rid of the product in this video. Nothing I have tried beats the Lebert in my opinion.
Im planning to buy a dip station what do you reccommend? Im having trouble deciding between lebert equalizer and ultimate body press. I want the best, price is not an issue. what i look for is portability and conveniency also ruggedness. Please helpp
Lebert Fitness Equalizers are the best hands down. The ultimate body press is good, but after using both, I would buy the Lebert Fitness equalizer 10/10 times.
@@GamerBody no I meant like that one dip station is adjustable like u could have narrow 19in or widen it to 24in for bigger person?.....Did not see you mention it in review so was just wondering if they only have that in a newer model.
Oh unfortunately I don't have that dip bar station anymore as I use the Lebert Fitness Equalizers. You can adjust the height with the "push clips" but I can't confirm height on it as this was a long time ago. They worked well for my height at 5'11" though. I hope that helps.
GamerBody I have them already. Just need the next step which is this... plus where I’m going they don’t have anything like that... but i just found out that there is a courier that can deliver. Thanks’
They do have a similar build style. While I haven't used the Amazon Basics version, the one plus side I see is that the bars look thinner so you can have a better grip. Overall quality I can't comment on as I have not used it. If you need to save on money it looks decent to me. My current preferred equipment (including dip bar) can be found here: gamerbody.com/loadout/
While you could do a planche on it I would not recommend it. It is not sturdy enough for someone who might be shaky. I would personally get the Lebert bars for planche work. You can check out my review here: ruclips.net/video/lJvbuboFpfI/видео.html
Only if I go past 90 degrees with my elbows (which I don't recommend as it is hard on your shoulders). If done correct you won't touch with knees bent at 5'11" However, if you want the best dip bars I recommend the Lebert Fitness. I just released a new review here: ruclips.net/video/lJvbuboFpfI/видео.html

Bloody great review mate
Really appreciate your reviews! Been looking into getting a dip bar for my home gym.
Thanks! I will be making more as I have a few products I am using and testing :)

I am glad you liked it. Thanks for watching :)
I've been using this for a year. It's great for dips. Nice review 👍

Thanks!
They have gone up . They are $116+ change now. However, they're used ones on Amazon for 71-89$ ish most are in new condition
Hmm I wouldn't pay that. That is Lebert price territory and those are way better.
just got mine today. when i assembled it the other side is wider than the other? is this normal? all the colors correspond to each other.
Hmm not sure. I haven't used this in a long time as I now use the Lebert Fitness Equalizers. Anyone know if they have changed it since I made this review?
this vs the lebert equalizer which one do you like more and why?
Lebert all the way
@@GamerBody why is that? also im 5'3" would the regular be fine for me? i see it comes in different sizes.

You’re knees are just about touching the floor during dips at 5’11. I’m 6’2 so now I’m reluctant to purchase this

Really important question that i havent seen here, can you adjust the width of the bars
It only has 2 options. I can't remember as I had this years ago
can you travel with it? on a back pack?
Eh that would be uncomfortable. I personally would not.
GamerBody I need to travel from one country to another one. On a plane. Not on my back the whole time.
Ugh I still think it would be cumbersome. Why not some push-up bars and bands?

yeah, fitness equipment is in short supply right now.
Is it sturdy
It will get the job done. It's not as sturdy as the Lebert Equalizers though which are my preferred.
How much floor clearance I'm also 511 do you ever touch the ground?
Only if I go past 90 degrees with my elbows (which I don't recommend as it is hard on your shoulders). If done correct you won't touch with knees bent at 5'11"
