Why use Parallettes in India
Since working out at home in India comes with challenges of managing space and buying costly exercise equipment parallettes provides an amazing value. Wooden or pvc parallettes bars do not take much space yet provide an opportunity to get really strong at controlling your bodyweight.
Strength training with dumbbells, barbells is fine but unless you can control your own bodyweight effectively then it does not matter. Many people can bench 100kgs but can not do 40 push ups or do more than 10 pull ups.
Ever wondered why Gymnasts have that ripped body? They can control their bodyweight much better in space than us and they regularly use Gymnastic rings and parallettes bars.
By the way do not try to use push up bars as parallettes bars. Push up bars are small, often made with plastic and have very less height from ground. Your parallettes bars in India like the ones from USI and IBS are meant to carry your all body weight.
Also do not use tall dip bars as alternatives for exercises to be done on parallettes bars in India weather it is made of wood or pvc or iron.
