Weighted vest or dip belt: which should you choose?
Get a weighted vest to load your push-ups, squats, running and circuits. Get a dip belt for heavy pull-ups and dips. The choice depends on the exercises you want to load, not on price.
Pull-up resistance band: what resistance should you choose?
Choose your pull-up resistance band based on your weight and how many pull-ups you can already do: purple, green or blue if you're a beginner, yellow if you can do a few in a row. The right band lets you do 5 to 8 clean reps.
15 parallettes exercises, from beginner to advanced
Deep push-ups, L-sit, tuck planche, handstand: 15 parallettes exercises ranked by level, with the reps to aim for and a sample session.
Dips: the technique and 4 steps to your first one
Position, depth, shoulders: the right dip technique, and four steps to your first dip, from the straight-arm support hold to the resistance band.
How to do your first pull-up: the 5-step method
You build up to your first pull-up with five exercises, from the dead hang to the band-assisted pull-up, with two to three sessions a week. Here's the order, the sets to do and when to move on to the next step.
How to choose a pull-up bar: doorway, wall-mounted, ceiling or free-standing
If you can drill into a solid load-bearing wall, get a wall-mounted bar: it's the most stable option. If not, choose a door pull-up bar or a free-standing pull-up bar. Here's how to decide based on your wall, your ceiling height and your goals.
Weighted pull-ups: where to start and how to progress
Add weight to your pull-ups once you can do 8 to 10 strict reps with your bodyweight. Start at 5 to 10% of your bodyweight, in short sets, and add 1 to 2.5 kg once all your sets are clean. The 6-week programme is further down.
How to choose a dip belt, and how to adjust it
Choose your dip belt on four points: the attachment, the fastening, the chain length and back comfort. To start, a chain belt is enough: it's the easiest to load and adjust.
