Reddit mentions: The best strenght training dip stands

Hello there.

To gain muscle mass, you must elicit a hypertrophic response from your muscles. This can be done in a lot of ways. Typically, this is done using weights but there are other methods. With body weight exercise it is definitely possible and a lot of people get success with it.

The basic idea you want to always keep in mind is balance. You want to keep your muscles balanced by doing exercises that work one set of muscles and then exercises that work the "opposite" set. This is done to prevent muscular imbalances that will most definitely lead to pain and injury. For example, push ups go with inverted rows, squats go with step ups.

Next up is the idea of progression. Eventually, the exercises start to get too easy and you aren't getting as much out of it as you could be. "Progressing" allows you to make the exercise more difficult for the same muscles or focus different muscles. Two decent videos showing the idea with the upper body are: one, two.

The equipment that you need to do body weight exercise at home is pretty simple. You need a chin up bar and a dip bar. The dip bar works for both dips and inverted rows and various progressions and so I would say it's needed. This dip bar is the one I'd personally recommend. Very portable and doesn't require any tools to assemble.

As far as nutrition goes, I'd say a healthy balanced diet is all you really need. Perhaps up your calorie intake by a couple hundred or so when you hit a plateau, but I wouldn't say to go too crazy with it.

In terms of supplements, I'd say they aren't 100% required. However, I do take a 1 serving whey isolate shake with water after every workout to aid in a speedy recovery. I find it helps, but not everyone does.

My parting words are to work the core and lower back a lot. A strong core and lower back will make you able to progress much easier and will make you feel a lot better and stronger as well as prevent injury. Take it easy and make sure it's safe.

Disclaimer: I am not a fitness expert. Just a butt load of fitness/nutrition classes as well as a lot of experience having my ass grinded into the dirt by various military fitness instructors(civilians with degrees and experience) and group PT sessions(ran by godlike sergeants and young officers). All anecdotal evidence and personal experience used, proceed with caution.

yes I can lol. Literally just did it on Saturday before we went to the pool. Thats the reason I knew off hand about how long it took me.

Non weighted pull ups and dips are super easy when you lift a lot. 30 push ups are also super easy.

I am not even in insane shape either. I would say just good shape.

I would say if that seems like a crazy workout to you in 15 mins you should buy this and use it.

I put that in my spare living room and its amazing for just hitting some quick exercise when you do not have time to go to the gym.

I recently fractured my foot and can't drive to my gym to perform what meager lifts I can still perform, so I need to do what I can at home. The one thing I can not figure out is how to set up a bar for chin ups/pull ups etc. I live in a basement style apartment and can not easily leave, so having something down here would be ideal.

A generic pull up bar like this isn't compatible with any of my doors.

Next, I looked for 'chin up stations' like you see in many commercial gyms, like this. Unfortunately my ceiling is roughly 6' 2'' and I am 5' 11''. That unit is 6' 3'' and wouldn't even fit on its own, much less with my chin over the bar.

Next, I saw some advertisements for bars you... nail into the wall? Like this one from rogue. This seems pretty promising but I can barely hammer a nail without breaking something and I'm unsure if my walls could even support it.

At this point, I'm out of ideas. The only other thing I can think of is the kind you jam into a doorframe, like this but I've seen those spontaneously fail (my dad tore his shoulder when it dropped him mid pull up) and am pretty not enthusiastic about them.

I think a station might be my best bet, but I need to find one that has adjustable heights, a solid support base, and that will ship. Does anyone have any advice there?

You just piqued my interest. I was also looking into buying some parallettes.

After more searching, it's just as /u/Bakaichi says, the height is according to your goals and the difficulty of the movements. With lower height parallettes being harder and higher 'easier', but since full ROM HSPU is among one of my goals, I'd rather go with one of 25 to 30cm high.

Now about the price, well it's up to you. At least for me after looking those from Skillworx damn are they expensive... If I were to pay for anything over 100€ (among the options available outside the US) that'd be from Rogue.

If you look at LittleBeastM videos you can see most of his equipments are from Rogue, and those pair of parallettes look solid enough. My problem with metal parallettes is that unless you have checked them out personally you run the risk of buying a wobbly pair made cheaply... On the other hand wood looks much more solid and from what I've read there's not much if any maintenance needed.

These are my options right now:

• amazon.es
  50€ but only 2 reviews, free shipping.
  
  
• aritmex germany
  Also 50€, but it's from the German store, maybe they ship to Spain or maybe by asking the Spanish warehouse they can sell them. The Spanish warehouse has free shipping, not sure about the German side if it has to ship to Spain.
  
  
• Rogue
  ~128€ + 17€ shipping. Solid from what I've read and seen from youtube...
  
  Those you just linked from CRF Gym Bars does look solid but with a hefty price tag although it included shipping.
  
  More suggestions are welcome, I was thinking the one from amazon, try them and if they're not stable enough just return them but it looks like it's not sold directly from amazon... Sometimes I feel like if I were to pay over 100€ for a pair, I'd just get them custom made from a local carpenter or something.
  
  
  

So I just got this cheap dip station.

So heres my mini review, along with a few questions.

The good: For $50 its super solid and incredibly stable and high enough for me to do dips with a straight body (Im 5 foot 8 inches). It only weighs around 50lbs total and sets up super fast. Overall not too bad.

The bad: Its about 3 inches wider than Id like it to be. The bars are also too skinny, and I need to add some tape to thicken them up a bit.

Questions: What would be the best kind of tape for the job? I was thinking Id use Gorilla tape to add most of the bulk, then finish with a few layers of athletic tape.

Also will I be risking injury adding weight to my dips when the bars are a little bit too wide? If so I can have my buddy who is a welder bring it in just an inch or two.

Oh and...

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

I tend to agree with /u/andersonah, based on relative safety concerns with each.

I'll tell you right now, you need to be very particular about your approach to the rings.

1. Start with nothing but support holds, and don't worry about the shaking: after 2 weeks that will be gone, it is just a motor learning thing.
   
   
2. Continue your dips on your current set up.
   
   
3. As you get used to the rings, start doing negatives with 1-2 second holds all the way down to parallel (upper arms parallel to the ground).
   
   Slowly transition into one set of ring dips with perfect form and stability, and don't add more than 1 set per week. It is ok to go slower.
   
   I am recommending that you consider weighted dips with option 4 or 5 first, though.
   
   
4. STRONGLY consider making a PVC dip station. Use 1.5" schedule 40 PVC... it will cost ~45 bucks, same as the rings.

   https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/27clxl/just_finished_a_diy_dip_station_and_am_satisfied/
   
5. You could buy this for 70 bucks and free shipping. If you don't have prime you can venmo me the money and I'll order it and ship it with my prime.

if you can't get to a gym or anywhere else..
It's a bit expensive, but I bought this to use since it can be taken apart and set up quickly for dips and rows.

Ultimate Body Press Dip Stand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ICHPIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wERExbGX4FEKH

I've returned a few pull up bars and this one worked out the best for me (doesn't damage my doors).

Perfect Fitness Multi-Gym https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DNAJYI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DFRExbJYJ0GZQ

I got chrome Lebert Equalizer XLs. I bought them as my birthday gift last year and wanted something nice. I had a discount code and I think they were about $120. You could probably save money buying something similar. I like that they're a little taller than some of the others. They're also made out of stainless steel and seem to be made well.

Apparently this is a common story. I was talking to my brother who is a PT and he told me this happens all the time and to DEFINITELY not get one (In part because I am a large human, 6'6 270).

I got this Amazon dip station and do bodyweight rows instead. Pretty happy with it, and if it breaks I'm only falling like 2 feet max.

Are you against working out or just working out at the gym? If it's the latter check out bodyweightfitness sub. A lot of good stuff there to work out at home. I second the recommendation for a pull up bar, and would also recommend something to allow for dips and rows like this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0093T6R4C/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_200_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41OF1B-tERL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C100_&refRID=18DVED7G0HQYSVQD57WJ

Or you can buy an extension for a pull up bar like this (the one I have):


http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0064OQFBO/ref=pd_aw_sim_200_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=51cRgghe9NL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C54_&refRID=04ZAT84B6ZGE1472BG9P

For dips you can use the backs of two chairs, or get parallel bars or something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Body-Press-Dip-Stand/dp/B000ICHPIK

Whatever works. For my needs, the power tower takes up too much space and can be replaced with other options I already have. For your needs it might be perfect.

Rings are great for a lot of stuff so you probably want rings eventually regardless.

Thanks Antranik! I have this dip station that I just picked up this weekend. I can attach those rings to my pull-up bar as well. What would you suggest to do for ring progression? Ring L-Sits on the dip station? Hanging ring support on the pull up bar? Thanks in advance.

I was doing some research into this, and Body Solid seems to have the no frills one that is best reviewed. As a beginner I'd love to be able to spring for FreeMotion assisted dip/chinup for $1,600 $4,400.

for what it's worth, it's even easier to patch a hole in the wall than it is to make the hole in the wall, so I'd still recommend a pullup bar in your wall, and an old person's walker for p bars

I have a very highly rated power tower and while totally safe, it's annoyingly wobbly

this is the one you'd probably want, though:

https://www.amazon.com/GoBeast-Pull-Bar-Dip-Stand/dp/B07282J2MZ/ref=sxin_3_ac_d_rm?ac_md=0-0-cHVsbCB1cCBtYXRl-ac_d_rm&keywords=Pull+Up+Mate&pd_rd_i=B07282J2MZ&pd_rd_r=2dc930da-933a-425f-911f-7793a9fcfdad&pd_rd_w=CYOKk&pd_rd_wg=OqI3E&pf_rd_p=983984df-2ad2-4c97-ba7f-4c5a90291c2b&pf_rd_r=76VMRVFPWJ21BXMW5DJ0&psc=1&qid=1571086927

I looked at walkers for doing dips when I first started but then found this $50 Black Mountain dip station. It's the better choice for just a few more dollars. Pretty good deal getting all that for $200. I haven't found anything good in my area other than some dirt cheap plates.

Equipment name: Lebert Equalizer

Exercise or Problem requiring equipment: Dips and rows.

Pros: This piece of equipment comes in two pieces so you can change the width for doing your dips or rows. You can use just one piece of it to do rows (palms facing away) or you can place both sides next to one another to use a neutral (hammer) grip.

It stands up to weighted dips just fine, the heaviest I've ever done so far was 70lbs on the dip belt at 155lbs bodyweight.

The height of this equipment from the ground is perfect for me as a 5'6" tall person. I'm able to do rows even with my feet raised up on a platform about knee height. I'm also able to do dips without my dip belt that go just below parallel. If I'm using my dip belt (I had to adjust the chain length) I can get to parallel.

Cons: It could be a lot higher up from the ground (taller.) If you're taller than 5'6" you will not be able to get a full range of motion for your rows if you raise your feet up on a platform. You also will not be able to get a good depth on your dips.

The height of this thing is the only real con if you're a taller person than I am.

Qualities to look for when purchasing: You only need to take the total height of this piece of equipment into consideration if you're taller than 5'6", in which case you'll want to buy another dip station/row station. You could raise the Lebert Equalizer up on some type of platform such as cinder blocks to get over this, but there are probably other dip stations/row stations out there that will be a better fit.

Alternatives: This is an alternative that has adjustable height on Amazon.com. Otherwise, you can search online for dip and/or row stations.

You could also do dips with most power towers (in addition to being able to do your vertical pulls on the tower.)

Purpose/uses: Weighted/unweighted dips and inverted rows.

Places to acquire equipment/materials: Amazon.com or other online market places.

Cost: ~$100.00 USD on Amazon.com.

Have a look at this. I have something similar they were the most useful thing I've bought to help with BWF. You can use them for rows too.

Don't forget if you're unable to do 3x8 horizontal rows you don't even need to be doing dips yet anyway. The support practice is important though.

Agreed:

• The connector piece between the two sides isn't designed for a lot of lateral force on the bars.
  
• The "legs" also have a tiny bit of wobble too, now that I'm taking a look. Specifically, I'm talking about the part where the upper n-shaped bars connect to the feet. It might just need a little more tightening though.
  
  It's not enough of an issue to affect my uses so far, but something sturdier would be nice, but not bad for $50. If I upgrade, it will be something like this.

I have this which I bought a few years ago when it was cheaper. It collapses and doesn't take up much room at all. I can assemble/disassemble it in 15 seconds. It might be too pricey right now, but you can find other collapsible dip stands for cheaper.

Also, for the chairs, you can try putting something weighted on the seat so they are more stable and you can try putting a towel on the back so it's more comfortable to grip.

I bought the "Ultimate Body Press" (http://amzn.com/B000ICHPIK) a few years ago & it has served my purposes good enough. It's got a simple design & it's easy to move around the house. I've done both body-weight dips & weighted dips with it. It might not be "gym quality" with durability that can withstand constant daily use, but it's held up fine with just me using it a couple times a week for the last few years. It feels a little wobbly (as would just about anything that's not heavy or bolted down to a concrete floor), but it stays securely in place when I'm doing vertical dips on it.

• Ab wheel ($12.96)
  
• Collapsible weight bench ($112.00)
  
• Dip station ($79.99)
  
  Total: $204.95, plus any tax and shipping.
  
  Note that the parallel bar station does not store as easily as you might like. It's very useful, though; you can use it for dips, bodyweight rows, L-sit training, etc. The paralette bars linked by batman1285 are probably a good substitute, though they won't give you as much clearance from the ground.

I have been looking at one brother, I have read that it's better to get one you can put in the wall on studs in the wall. From what I heard the door ones aren't as safe cause they can slip. But I have not used either. If you can't do that then maybe something like this.

Sportsroyals Power Tower Dip Station Pull Up Bar for Home Gym Strength Training Workout Equipment, 400LBS. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SM8VJ6P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lfUIDb90XQ4A3

It's this one, http://www.amazon.com/Black-Mountain-Stand-3000-Pound-Dip/dp/B00EPKRUGS/

It's pretty good. Doesn't move around or shake when you use it. Also works for like body weight rows. Still it's kind of expensive for single function equipment.

I got this one partially because it came with the rings. As noted by some in the reviews, it isn't very tall and doesn't work great for taller users. I'm only 5'6" so it works great for me :-) Doing ring push ups works well with it too.

I go to a gym, but you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lebert-Fitness-07-71049-Equalizer-Bars/dp/B00LY9LFKK/ref=sr_1_6?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1463408017&sr=1-6

or make your own if you're so inclined. Alternatively, if you can set up rings, you can do lots of bodyweight stuff on those, and I've used a public park before that had a set of parallel bars. But you're right, it's pretty tough to do dips without some form of equipment.

My answers:

• Do meals, instead of portions. I do, and it works out pretty well.
  
  
• My "recovery" drink is Horizon 1% chocolate milk. About 4 ounces. It works for me just fine. Combine it with drinking lots of water, and you should be good to go.
  
  
• I have added, over the years, to my set of dumbbells. I have everything from 5s to 50s. They work for me. If money is a concern, add to them slowly, because IMO you won't need anything higher than 30lbs going through the first month or so, when you can add more weights as desired/money comes available.
  
  
• I use a plyo mat for yoga. It's thicker, a lot less slip, and works great for me. I picked up the standard blue one at a Dicks Sporting Goods for about $20. I also purchased a yoga block, for around the same price and yeah, it really does help out, especially if you're not flexible enough to go all the way to the floor on some of the yoga stuff (or you're really flexible, it'll help you get a better stretch).
  
  
• I purchased this chinup bar and it works pretty well. The wide-grip pullups are a bit of a pain, especially if you're a wider person, but other than that, no complaints. Took a bit of time to put together, about an hour, but it's solid and holds my weight (somewhere around 200lbs, I'd guess) easily. Plus it has grips for dibs and a comfy back support for knee raises, etc.
  
  
  edit: One thing you DO NOT need, unless you plan on traveling where there is no gym in the hotel or something, is the bands. Next to useless, IMO.

This one isn't super cheap...but I have it and it's really good. I used to weigh ~220 lbs and it would just barely move when I used it. I would definitely recommend it IF you can spare the cash. If not, just read reviews of them online so you know what to look for on craigslist.

I use the Ultimate Body Press. I see some other cheaper options but I like what I have and it folds down easily for storage.

Would buying something like this be a good idea?

I would buy one of those door frame pull-up bars but I'm convinced that I'll pull and interior wall down.

Something you can mount from ceiling joists would give you better height and be stronger. Not sure if that's an option for you though. Otherwise, maybe one of those "power towers" that have pull-up bar and dip/leg raise thing.

When it comes to working out, I'm a huge introvert. Being able to stay in my own house and workout is probably the only reason I've been so committed thus far.
Plus, I can get a pump whenever I have an extra minute. It's the best investment I've ever made, bar none.

I did leg-assisted for the fat handles. Still worked pretty nicely.

For the rotating fat handles, I made them to spec but ended up just taking the PVC and putting it on my door-frame chin-up bar. Same effect, I figured.

Did something a bit different for the towel hangs. I draped a judo belt over a [dip stand] (http://www.amazon.ca/Black-Mountain-Products-Stand-Dip/dp/B00EPKRUGS), grabbed an end in each hand, and held myself up like that. We do something similar in Judo practice and it was very difficult, heh. It was kind of like doing rows with the belt, except stopping at the top of the motion. Let me know if you think I'll get the same effect from that.

This power rack is an excellent price from Amazon.

If you can stand on the beams with 1 foot without them bending or anything like that then the beams with be fine. The difficulty will be connecting the bar to the beams. I can't comment on that, since I don't know anything about your beams.

I posted this in its own thread, although it should have gone here oops. Long story short. I am looking for a power tower with a smallish footprint that I can pack up when I am not using, and someone recommended https://www.amazon.com/GoBeast-Pull-Bar-Dip-Stand/dp/B07282J2MZ Looks good, but a final question is, is it sturdy enough to hang rings on? I'm not there yet, but I would like to be.

If you've already got decent core strength from poledancing I bet you'd do great with a calisthenic workout. Nice part about that is you can do it all in your living room on a mat, maybe with a set of parallettes. Push ups, body rows, planks and so on. You can get plenty buff with nothing but bodyweight exercises and the right diet.

This Dip station is dope, I use it a lot.

I also hang these rings from an Iron Gym pull up bar, and they are great too.

I got this, works great!

Something like this might suit you. I'm sure there are other similar stands available.

Iron Gym (doorway pullup bar) pull up bar is pretty much the only major requirement. You can probably start the recommended routine after that.

I also purchased this dib bar to make doing dips easier, but it's not necessary

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Z8N3WW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_D-TYDb7VDAPTD

Looks like there are a bunch of different kinds-this just happened to be the first Amazon result when I googled ‘floor pull up bar.’ Might have to pick one up myself!

preferably a bar that's sizable so you can grip it like this

I would not do this between two chairs and palms down, that's asking for long term injury on your wrist

can you do it ? sure ? just don't complain when your wrist gets permanently injure and you can't do dips in the future

https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Body-Press-Fitness-Station/dp/B000ICHPIK

this one is really good.

Plus you ought to have Pushup Elite. Maybe some weights and a pull up bar/equipment

https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Fitness-Pushup-Elite/dp/B008DNAJ5M

Ohhh its a dip bar. the other one is a pull up bar. you said bottom of it so i was looking towards the floor lol.

I’m looking for dip bars that can also be used for front levers. This seems to be something that would work but it is out of stock everywhere. If you have anything that has worked for you please let me know.

I bought this dip bar from amazon for $50, seemed worth it to not have to buy a monthly membership

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753Q2GCX/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_t1_.GV8BbV8G5FST

I use one of these at home: looks like it's rated for 350 pounds. Folds up when I'm not using it, or more accurately sits in a corner until I have company coming over and then I fold it up and put it away.

I edited to comment to be a little different,

But maybe something like this. Otherwise, there's always trees or others things. Pullups really aren't optional.

If I was in your place I'd have something like this made. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000XKKWPU/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/276-7574928-2859601

I stopped lifting months ago but I am sort of missing the strength gains, ordered these today https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gravity-Fitness-Parallettes-Crossfit-Calisthenics/dp/B01I3N2KIK/ref=cts_sp_1_vtp?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=1069525627&pf_rd_r=XDR8KS3EPYFBVR9TZC6N&pd_rd_wg=iv2zu&pf_rd_s=desktop-detail-softlines&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_i=B01I3N2KIK&pd_rd_w=FmdBE&pf_rd_i=desktop-detail-softlines&pd_rd_r=XDR8KS3EPYFBVR9TZC6N&_encoding=UTF8 anyone else into bodyweight/callisthenics?

and I hang it off of my iron gym, along with my rings. It actually works quite well, as long as you keep off the ends of the bars where it starts to bend a bit. It might not work very well for a shorter person (my GF had to use a chair to get up on it, she's 5"1').

Basically everything but squat jumps.

Buy some dip bars if you really get into it.

These are awesome, just follow the r/bodyweightfitness progression. If you jump into some exercises too quick and/or with bad form you can injure yourself.

I'm about your height 6'4" and I found these. They are tall enough to get full rom and also happen to be the cheapest ones on amazon at $53. Dunno about availability in your county tho. They're cheap Chinese ones but the do the job

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BZJ62CE/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You may want to consider buying this

But this? Or maybe hang rings off the bar you do pullups on?

I know its a lot more than the fram but you could get a lot of use out of this: https://www.amazon.com/RELIFE-REBUILD-YOUR-LIFE-Equipment/dp/B071HT1DH1/ref=sxin_5_ac_d_rm?ac_md=2-2-cHVsbCB1cCB0b3dlcg%3D%3D-ac_d_rm&keywords=pull+up+bar&pd_rd_i=B071HT1DH1&pd_rd_r=ed63b311-80fd-4392-8889-3dc4692b8aae&pd_rd_w=koa8m&pd_rd_wg=gmude&pf_rd_p=404c4843-2c96-4d0d-a5fe-2b0598693e61&pf_rd_r=Y5T74EN8XW3PN5MR2APJ&qid=1567715676&s=gateway

Your most mobile options would be door pull up bars or a station for home. If you go with a door bar also check this dip bar

When doing dips using a dip stand (http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Body-Press-Dip-Stand/dp/B000ICHPIK) where should your elbows point: to the side, or behind you?

Maybe this one will work?

edit:just to clarify I wouldnt buy this one, just an example

Lebert Equalizer Bars https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LY9LFKK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_uFMVCb2Y1PG5J

This is the closest thing I could find. Sorry of the format of this sucks. On mobile and amazon was fighting me copying this link.
AmazonBasics Dip Fitness Bar - 34 x 32 x 38 Inches, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753Q2GCX/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_9-TYDb00TP4NG

Maybe this one.

it's those, so about 28 and a half inch height: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LY9LFKK/ref=twister_B078GMWF94?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Search for power towers... they are $150 USD or so....
For example:

UK mileage may vary

https://www.amazon.com/GoBeast-Pull-Bar-Dip-Stand/dp/B07282J2MZ

Depending on where in canada you are... do you have any friends in the US who could order from amazon.com and you could drive to pick up the equipment? I see for e.g. this at about $130 and that at $150. That on amazon.ca is CDN$585 which seems like one hell of a markup for crossing a border.

you can do both inverted rows (neutral grip) and dips on this http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Body-Press-Dip-Stand/dp/B000ICHPIK/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1373418844&sr=1-1&keywords=dip+station

• Buy this Marcy OPP Bench and 80-Pound Weight Se $150.00
  
  
• And this Dumbbell Weight Set $27
  
• Extra Dip Station $81

You dont have a park?

Or
Portable Dip station

I have one of these.

I use this with my chin-up bar:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064OQFBO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Those twist-retractable pull-up bars won't work either? My brother-in-law has an Iron Gym, but I use a generic twist-adjustable pull-up bar in my doorframe. A more expensive alternative would be to buy one of those pull-up stations.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008F48AN2/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 hopfully that works.

I got one befor xmas and do dips and rows off the bar and leg raises. Practice Lsit and push ups on the rings. The manufacturer also states lunges and chest flys can be done on the rings.

Its not the highest equipment as alot of reviews says its not suitable for dips with a dip belt.

I got this one on Amazon. It feels very safe and sturdy, but I don’t necessarily recommend it. One of the handles is crooked (see photos in the Amazon reviews... apparently other people have had the same issue), which isn’t a huge deal, but it’s annoying given the price.

It does only take about twenty seconds to (dis)assemble, and it takes up virtually no space when disassembled, so it’s great if you’re limited on space and don’t mind the crooked handle. If you aren’t limited on space and don’t plan on disassembling it often, I would go for a different one.

literally everything you want without all the wood and uselessness

No problem. In the second one I linked someone asked that question and someone responded that he was 173 lbs and had no problems without screws. If anything, amazon has a really easy return policy so you can give it a try and just send it back if it doesn’t work.

If you have the space another option is a power tower. I got this one because I wanted a pull up bar but didn’t want the doorway cluttered and also didn’t want to get into screwing one into the wall or ceiling. You can also do dips and ab exercises but it does take it space.

hmm, it's working for me but I tried it on mobile and got the error you mentioned. Maybe this will work:
