FAQ
What do I actually need Parallettes or Push-Up Bars for?
Parallettes are a versatile training tool for calisthenics, bodyweight, and functional training. They allow you to perform exercises like push-ups, L-sits, handstands, or dips with proper form while protecting your joints. Thanks to the elevated position, you can perform movements with a greater range of motion while relieving pressure on your wrists. Push-Up Bars are especially ideal for training at home or on the go – compact, effective, and extremely versatile.
What is the difference between high and low Parallettes?
Low Parallettes are closer to the ground and are excellent for static hold exercises such as L-sits, push-ups, or planche leans. They provide maximum stability and are very compact. High Parallettes, on the other hand, give you a greater range of motion, especially for dips, handstand push-ups, or vertical pushing movements. They are a bit more versatile but also require slightly more space. Which type is right for you depends on your training style and goals.
Are Parallettes also suitable for beginners?
Yes, absolutely. Parallettes are perfect for beginners because they allow for a neutral hand position, reducing strain on the wrists – especially for push-ups or when learning the handstand. You can start with simple exercises and gradually progress. The elevated position also gives you more control over your movements, which is especially important at the beginning.
Why are wooden Parallettes better than plastic ones?
Wooden Parallettes offer significant advantages over plastic models. Wood has a natural, slightly rough surface that provides excellent grip even with sweaty hands – no additional tape needed. It feels warm and comfortable, sits ergonomically in the hand, and is especially durable. Plastic, on the other hand, can quickly become slippery during intense workouts, often feels cheap or unstable, and offers less control in demanding exercises like handstands or L-sits. Our solid beechwood Parallettes are stable, strong, and specifically designed for calisthenics and functional strength training – for maximum safety and a natural training feel.
How stable and safe are your Parallettes?
Our Parallettes are designed for maximum load capacity and stability. The combination of solid wood and non-slip feet ensures a secure stance – whether on hardwood floors, carpet, or outdoors in the park. Whether you’re doing L-sits, handstands, or explosive push-ups – you can rely 100% on their construction. They are built and tested for intensive training – from beginners to professionals.
Why buy Parallettes from Pullup & Dip?
Because here you get genuine professional equipment – developed with calisthenics athletes and tested in everyday training. Our Parallettes stand out with thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and maximum functionality. Whether for your home gym or your outdoor workouts: you’ll get long-lasting quality you can rely on. No wobbling, no slipping – just pure training that makes you stronger.
