What the actual frick is the point of this angled dip station. For fricks sake I hate my gym so much. This is literally the only place to do dips. God forbid I'm not some fricking normie who is only doing 2 dips. God forbid I'm actually trying to do some advanced Calisthenics and I need 2 straight bars.
What kind of gym would actually appeal to real lifters right?

>can choose how much distance you want between the bars to accomodate for wider/narrower lifters
>can choose between semi-pronated and semi-supinated grip, allowing for more variation
Dyel confirmed
Literally just buy a set of adjustable dip bars
>don't face the machine
>legs hit the pole
Wow smart advice.
Like I said these things are only good for fricking noob lifters. Anyone who is trying to do anything advanced, this set up is just a hindrance.
>elbow lever
Impossible
>Russian dips
Arms fall through the bars
>leg foward dips
Fricking pole is in the way
oh wow looks like we got a pro over here
It just works
The point of having that angle is to keep your shoulders in an externally rotated position so you don't snap your shit up. If your doing them facing the machine you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to do them facing away from the machine. If you go as close as possible toward the back it's basically a neutral grip, but go a bit further out for more external rotation, which will absolutely resolve many shoulder issues
>If your doing them facing the machine you're doing it wrong
I bet you've never done a heavy weighted dip in your life
my feet hit the machine
What? You're not suppose to use it facing outward... almost every dip station you see the bars are at that angle, because it allows you to squeeze your chest and puts your wrists and arms in a better position
You don't have an assisted pull up machine? Put the seat down and use the straight bars.
It doesn't solve anything. The damn machine is in the way
This is what every gym should have
You're a dum dum, it's a commercial gym. They want the bars to accomodate as many people as possible and the angle means there's a whole range of distances between the bars so people can choose whichever distance suits their body.
When is the last time you've seen a fat guy doing unassisted dips?
With an adjustable dip stand you get the same thing without limiting the range of motion of every advanced lift
Dips are a meme lift that most people don't care about. Why would any sensible gym waste space on a dip stand that isn't multi-purpose
No one cares dyel. Go do your homosexual cal shit elsewhere
>what is decline db press
>what is straight bar dip
>bro just do a decline dumbell press to improve your Russian dips
But you know that has nothing to do with-
>bro just bench brah
You're fricking stupid. Holy shit. In what world can you replace advanced dips with a dumbell press
If you're on such an elite fricking level that you cannot possibly alternate exercises to fit your autism you're in the wrong fricking place to begin with you absolute mong. Go to a gym that suits your style, not your average mom group training 24 fitness goygym you humongous dick sucking homosexual
Only time I have to workout is after 10pm which is precisely why I bought membership here. This is the most normie anytime fitness I've been too as well. The other one I used to go to before I moved had a set of dip bars like this and they even had rings
>put in corner when not in use
Wow so hard
How is your life schedule the issue of the world around you? Do you even hear what you're saying? Yes I agree most gyms and their equipment fricking sucks but if its such a big issue for you then you need to do something about it, not the world. Reign in your autism and solve the problem instead of whining like a little b***h and stab everyone who replies to you.
Idk what else to tell you except change fricking life schedule and gym if its such a huge problem for you or buy your own equipment.
There you go I solved the problem for you. Now frick off and profit.
You don't have to tell me anything. Tell gyms to stop buying monstrous contraptions when simple equipment is much easier to use. Who the frick needs a cable pulley, punchingbag, landmine, ball bounce pad contraption? Why buy 1 giant machine that combines a bunch of half assed things when you could of bought each one separately and spread them out more.
Eventually I'll have my own equipment. For now I can make this bullshit work. Once I completely surpass the basics I'll bring in my own dip bar. But my point is I SHOULDNT HAVE TO BRING IN BETTER EQUIPMENT
Just do weighted ring dips, they're better anyway
Standard dips are too easy. Even with rings. But before I can do advanced holds on rings I'll have to do them on straight bar.
Why do you think I said weighted? If you can do ring dips with frickin 3 plates then I kneel but in any case just keep overloading them lol
Im not a fan of super weighted dips, but I can do 3 with 2 pl8s. My working weighted set is 60lbs for 8. I could do more but I'm not a fan. Dips already place a lot of stress on the shoulders. Super weighted dips are just asking for an injury
I can do 4 with two plate virgin and i am a gluttonous power fatty
Stop thing your naturo and goku and get therapy for your autism, nerd
Wow so strong. Now how many Russian dips can you do? Have you even tried to do anything but standard dips? Can you even elbow lever?
Weighted dips are a powershitter cope. You should be doing more advanced versions of dips instead of throwing more weight on standard
I was talking about reps, I never go below 5 reps on ring dips and I already do them with autistically strict form which reduces injury risk as it is
It's not worth the tike to buy and set them up either
Just deal with it man, I can't do parallel bar dips because they rape my sternum so ring dips are my only option. It doesn't take that long to set up tbh, it takes me all of like 90 seconds to do that
>could of
I knew you were moronic but this confirmed it. I'm gtfo this thread now, there's no saving you.
>be gym owner
>want calisthenics equipment
>should I buy some simple ordinary wooden parallel bars, wall rig and pullup bars?
>the kind of kit that has been in use since ancient times?
>nah, I'll buy this overengineered useless steel monstrosity instead
bring a ratchet strap in and bend them closer together until theyre parallel
Fellas is there anything more based than doing dip while doing dips? I think not
Enjoy your tongue and lip cancer, gay.
