Parallel Bars For Beginners (Detailed Guide)

[@AT99_TKT]

Thanks for the video. I jumped right in and ordered the B-Bars with your discount code in Feb. Received the bars in May (back orders) and it has been sitting in my basement as I am not sure where to strart. Your guide will definitely help me. 🙏

[@SR-rr4qy]

the shallow breaths !! such a revelation for me.. I was always not engaging my core when exercising because of breath. Thanks for the great advice.

[@WhoThisMonkey]

It gives me a real confidence boost, to be able to do most of this first try with my new bars. I've got a head start, time to put it to use.

[@mickzclouds]

Exactly what I needed. Especially chose you for my training input because you really take care of people who just start and show them the progression from the very basics. so motivating.

[@eto_chelovek]

Great video!! Just what I was searching. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@AmanBansil]

Ah! This is great. Exactly what I needed to start once my bbars arrive. Saved $27 with my order with your code.

[@JoebsonOSRS]

As a complete beginner who's getting into calisthenics this video was great! Thank you very much cannot wait to go try these tomorrow!

[@ChrisFit-ChristopherDaCosta]

Hi Ryan- Really inspired by your channel! I am 62 and been training all my life of late I have been concentrating on just the occasional jogging and more power walking and my first love kettlebells for about 12 years now. Who woyld have thought that at age 62 I would now like to tackle what is probably the most difficult challenge in my view which is isometric/calisthenics type training! I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2019 and because of my training and diet, I have reversed it without the need for medication. Calisthenics will add variety to my training and I look forward to the journey! You have a new subscriber! Cheers from Maryland USA! Reply

[@MinusTheGym]

Awesome! That’s amazing you reversed your diabetes. And thanks for subscribing. I hope my content continues to help you out! 💪 😊

Greetings from Sweden. Love your stuff.

[@julie-kop]

As for complete beginner this video is the best I’ve found. A huge thank you!

[@guestuser117]

I really appreciate the amount of time you put into this video. I have a similar situation as the top comment, I bought the bars over a year ago and just let them sit there. This video is highly motivating to just get into it. Thanks man!

[@dimitmoto1716]

Cool video. I have equiliser parallel bars. A dips progression I found is to place the bars next to a step or a ladder ( or place a step next to bars) and put the toes of your feet to the step for assistance to the dips

[@MinusTheGym]

Nice! I love the creativity 👍

[@lawrencebigelow3549]

You're good, man. I'm returning to your show; I've been gone (Covid-pneumonia 11-2021). I like it all, but especially where you coach on breathing. I just got off 24/7 supplemental oxygen a week ago. I had joined a gym, and my doctors (5] all like the deep breathing involved in resistance training. Thank you for your entire program shown herein.

[@JohnAdams-rm7zm]

Excellent information ✅

[@OrangeGeemer]

Thanks for the tips, I recently started with the bands and it doesn't work for me (my arms shake all over), now I know I have to do holds, then negatives and THEN the band. Cheers!

[@jamesellender8853]

The B bars are amazing. 297ibs and they are rock solid

[@brahimmusician2489]

Hey, i watched every video on youtube about basic calisthenics, and i can assure u , yours is the best yet .. keep going❤ Can i ask u something pls?

[@Linkous12]

As much as I like my pull up bar, my favorite piece of equipment I have is my dip stand. Dips, rows, L-sits, tuck planche, you can do so much on it.

[@Murman1973..]

Trying back exercises tomorrow thanks

[@Briaaanz]

On dips, for some reason i have always had an easier time pushing up than doing negatives

[@rahimSM]

Cuz u are not going all the way down. When u do negatives u reach that range of motion u don't usually reach (where u are weak)

[@fortieznoshortiez]

just for clarification, should we do 1 workout per? i.e something like this 10x dips 10x raises (legs/knees) 10x rows 30x squats rest repeat for x sets or should we do multiple types? i.e the same thing but with maybe like 10x dips 5x 10-15 second holds 10x leg raises 10x knee raises 10x rows 5x 10-15 second hangs 30x squats 20x lunges rest repeat for x sets or is this just a matter of comfort and if the 1 per is too little we do multiple or more sets to amp it up a little?

[@waynemaman7418]

[@SantoValentino]

I tried to do dips on my gym rings. Thought I had decent form. My shoulder disagreed. Taking a week off to let your shoulder heal isn’t fun when you want to train

[@VeganRashad]

Great video brother! Thank you.

[@MinusTheGym]

Glad you liked it!

[@whataloadofbollocks2862]

So what's better to start off with, this program routine or the circuit for beginners that you mentioned in the other video?

[@derekn5607]

Thanks Ryan!

[@samibvb8967]

[@Briaaanz]

On tucked front levers, do you want your shoulders/shoulderblades retracted, or extended? Or do u handle it like rows where you alternate back and forth?

[@equteachme]

Side note to @ minute 5. Because the B Bars are so mobile you can lift one end of the base and slip your resistance under the base and position the band over the bars, so you end up with the band looped around your bars. Thanks great vid.

[@dmlifestyle9788]

Sorry about the second communication, I forgot to mention this in my last one. After watching your videos I purchased the B bars. My triceps workout was done on a chair or couch and it needed something a little bit more professional, ha ha. Period. I have the bars set up but there’s no information on what is recommended the width of the board should be when you’re doing your dips. I noticed that on different settings your elbows are closer to you versus the outer settings your elbows are a bit pushed out. Any recommendations

[@MinusTheGym]

It’s a matter of preference really. The wider apart your hands are then the more it’ll work your chest. The narrower grip will work more triceps. I like them to be just slight wider than shoulder width for me.

[@bethb5915]

@@MinusTheGym - Exactly what I needed to know, thanks! I'm starting calisthenics at middle-age, so my triceps need it more. Just got the B-Bars with your discount (thank you!) I don't work out, so I was surprised that I could do a tuck hold and stick one leg out right away :) I'm excited to back track and work the whole progression you teach so I can have a strong, stable foundation. Thanks SO MUCH for all the inspiration and instruction! 💪🏻💗

[@deadfox03]

Where can i buy a decent parallel bars in order to use them indoor?

[@jgjohnny7964]

I can do push-ups, pull-ups, 8-10 reps np, but cant hold the pike /L position at all while doing them! what's going on? how can I boost my core fast ?

[@TheKonkehagia]

Are parallel bars really suitable for someone complete beginner? I am female, have almost zero upper body strength andI was wondering if they are suitable in this case (I mean off the exercises mentioned in the video)

[@TheKonkehagia]

[@TahirAmeenGaming]

Hi friend, I've watched most of your beginner series. Should I get parallel bars or paralletes

[@ThanhTran-jn7dd]

Could you show me where to buy that parallel bar? Thank you

[@leon3646]

The dips negative hurt so much in my shoulder after i step on the ground, and I tried keep my shoulder strong and high

[@pandaactoredgecombe-craig3919]

AMAZING

[@ryanng328]

How do I control my neck pulling when pulling my body up? Should I relax my neck or something?

[@MinusTheGym]

Try tucking the chin and trying to raise the top of your head higher to lengthen the neck. This is good head/neck posture in general (it counters forward head posture), but it should help stabilize your neck and head during the movement.

[@pokeydiaz210]

Great video. I learned a lot

[@L44283]

Are this kind of parallel bars that connect at the base significantly more stable while doing dips and rows?

[@MinusTheGym]

Yes, they’re more stable than the ones that don’t connect, such as the Lebert Equalizer bars, but there is still a little wobble to them. They’re not perfectly 100% stable.

[@SymptomsOfCode]

How far apart should my b bars be?

[@papafituae]

I can't even straighten my leg on the floor, my hamstrings are so tight haha. I have the strength for the l sit but not the mobility

[@kristopherthomas8204]

How high are your bars on the higest setting?

[@kerryholland4822]

Just ordered a set of parallettes but I've gone for the much lower sets so I'm unsure how to work on the pulling action. Any recommendations with or without the bars?

[@kilocree]

Get a doorway pull up bar (the pressure fit kind not the one that hangs on the trim) and a pair of gymnastic rings. Hang the rings from the bar and this will act like higher parrallel bars. Probably get more versatility this way.

[@jankakincekova6649]

Perfect video.. btw you have beautiful eyes ! 😀😊

[@endergonzalez7970]

In ur juicing vid u said raw protein has more bioavailability and is doubled is there a link for that

[@FROSTB4NE]

Hey man, is there any good alternative to the B bars in the EU? Those bars seem very expensive over here, are they worth it?

[@MinusTheGym]

Check out Lebert Equalizer bars. They’re like tall parallettes, so not connected or height adjustable, but quite versatile. You won’t be able to do pull ups/chin ups on them because they’re not tall enough, but they’re good for everything else you’d do on the b-bars

[@FROSTB4NE]

@@MinusTheGym Thanks for the response and recommend, I'll definitely check those bars out 😃 Loving your content man, as a person who's intimidated by the gym and just wants to exercise at home at my own pace and get in decent shape, this channel is perfect for me. If I looked half as good as you man I'd be happy 😅 calisthenics is the perfect excuse for me to get up and do something, even if I just do a few push ups some days and pull ups the next, it motivates me to keep at it.

[@MinusTheGym]

@@FROSTB4NE Haha thanks man, but there's really nothing special about my results. If you just do what you can, always working towards that next little bit of incremental progress, and most importantly, be *consistent*, then the progress will happen and the results will slowly come. It takes patience and dedication. I'm glad you enjoy the content!

[@T_say]

The bars are $269!! I just bought bars a little more than $26 Although your bars look premium, but an extra digit for premium is not affordable.

[@paolo3794]

They gonna last for years tho.

[@davidshore3523]

I felt soreness in my triceps. Is this normal from a support exercise?

[@MinusTheGym]

Yep. Any support hold is going to put load on the triceps, but especially when you start leaning back and tucking the legs. The long head of the triceps (on the inside of the upper arm) will take the brunt of it.

[@davidshore3523]

@@MinusTheGym okay. Thank you. At least I now know I'm not going to hurt myself.

[@jtaylor405]

Can I use rings on the B-Bars?

[@MinusTheGym]

Sure, you could hang rings for some low exercises like ring push ups, but you’d just have to be careful not to go too wide or they could slip off the bar

[@voulieav]

Wicked

[@patricesavard366]

I think I got cheap bars... when I do exercise under the bars, I have to place the bars parallel to my body, otherwise, my elbows get stuck in between the bar when I pull up...the down side of using them parallel, is, you have the link back in the back when you lay down....

@Minus The Gym Thank you for the awesome beginner videos!! I enjoyed both, this one and the older video kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6qUZpeZZ8ipo5I. I am a newbie to calisthenics, but paradoxically not entirely, as I have been active doing cross- train 3x a week and do Street running 20-25 miles per week. Would you recommend the B-Bars or the parallel bars suggested in the older video?🙏

Our field days in elementary school were called “Sneaker Day” and the whole school divided into the red team or the white team. I remember we had lawsuit waiting-to-happen obstacle courses where you had to climb “walls” which were parallel bars loosely covered with gym mats, hula hoops, potato sacks and then do “dizzy Izzy” with a wiffleball bat 20 times, then sprint back to tag the next person if you didn’t puke from dizzy Izzy. The 80s were good times 😂

[@MinusTheGym]

😆 yep! The good ol’ days. But now that would never fly at a public school. Kids can’t even walk alone to the bus stop without a damn SWAT team being dispatched.
