(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best strenght training dip stands

Walking is extremely effective! But, I'm in a similar boat.
 
Too cold / icy conditions for long walks. But if you have bad joints (I have extremely bad shoulder and heel problems from injuries), you can still workout with a highly effective routine. I'll give you a few steps you can take.
 
First, read this post by /u/Antranik.
 
Next, save this image of progressions somewhere and then design a program using the bodyweight fitness faq. Or just follow the image cap progressions. They are very similar.
 
You can start using two sturdy chairs, a door, or basically anything that lets you do a row and a dip.
 
Finally once you make some progress, invest in some low-cost equipment.
 

1. A dip station - something like this.
   
2. Wooden Olympic rings with measured straps.
   
3. A mat of some sort.
   
4. A foam roller for your joints.
    
   You might consider investing in the foam roller now. If you don't already have one, they hurt at first but are totally worth it.
    
   For the most part you'll be focused on the flexability and body alighment work. And keep in mind, easy progressions! Get to a place where you can do 3-4 sets of 8 easily and start with 5 sets of 4-5 with the next progression.
    
   To stay motivated, I like to workout in my room while listening to books on tape, crime podcasts, or the news on the radio.
    
   The tempo of spoken word helps me keep my effort even and is mentally stimulating during rests.

Parlettes look like an awesome addition, I'll definitely get some of those! Is there anything I should be looking for when choosing which parallettes to get? edit: I think I might get this one, it looks like it would be good for normal parlettes exercises, but then also dips and rows, and even attaching rings to for pushups.

I looked at this dip belt, but saved it for later since I'd also need weights and my progression isn't yet at that level & I'd also need some weights.

A half rack?

You can use two chairs or sawhorses. I personally think a dip station is a good investment.

dip station

It is a weight rack to lift weights in, I found it on side of the road and decided to rehab it and make it look nice. This is kind of what it looks like...http://www.amazon.com/XMark-Fitness-Power-Pull-up-Station/dp/B004OVLSMA/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1367546206&sr=1-3&keywords=Power+Rack

I have the Black Mountain Dip Station. I can't find it on Amazon, but it's almost identical to this Titan one and about the same price (can't remember exactly what I paid). It's solid, but if I could do it over again I'd get something that took up less space or doubled with a pull-up bar.

You can get one of these. It's not too expensive and works well.

This is what I use in my apartment. It was easy to assemble and works great for me (I'm 6'1", 185lbs). I put some mats underneath so it doesn't cut into my hardwood, but it's sturdy. For rows I hung a towel across the inside of the dip bars.

The only annoying thing is that I can't do close grip pull-ups using this, but there are other "power stands". Oh, and my roof is only 7 feet so I have to be careful not to hit my head when pulling.

I have this one which is the same height and I am able to use it with straight legs at 6'5.

I've been using the chin-up assistance machine at the gym. Like one of these guys, and lowering my reps while lowering the assistance, if that makes sense. I read about it on some "How to do a chin-up" webpage a while back. Also, push-ups. I've made progress! But no completion!

No, a rack for hold the barbell above the bench, like this one

Try searching for dip bars.

Is the popsport one the same thing?
The popsport says 330 pound limit but the gobeast says 240 pound limit..

I personally plan on putting a a power tower or maybe just a pull up tower in my garage and hang rings on them. or i might just build a tall frame to hang my rings on or hang them from a ceiling because ring towers run like 3,000 dollars.

No personal experience, but I have seen people using bars similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077ZV2NVG/ref=dp_prsubs_3

Here is the link to them. They are also adjustable. Its a shame because i bought them for over $50 and it seems like they lowered their price.

Not on Canadian Amazon. It's a knock off of what you linked.

Nihili has you covered, but I wanted to recommenced these dip bars to you, I’ve had them two years, they’re cheap, and they are perfect:

Also, give it time. It took my a few months to get over being tired and sore, but eventually my energy levels went up and I haven’t gotten sick once this year. Maybe that’s up to chance, maybe it’s up to having worked out consistently for the last year. But it does take time.

Like others have said, it's pretty much useless. I have two sets of rings in my basement (~$25 a pair), dip bars (https://smile.amazon.com/Sunny-Health-Fitness-SF-BH6507-Connector/dp/B00XMHINS4/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1524009120&sr=8-1&keywords=sunny+dip+bars) ~$43, and a couple mats which were around $15. I can do the whole recommended routine with this setup and much more for under $100 and it only takes up around 10x8 of room in my basement. You could get by for $75 - $85 by only buying one set of rings, I'm just lazy and hate adjusting them.

Without a doubt, this is what I would ask for.

I had the money saved up for a decent one on Amazon not too long ago, bought it and everything, then received an email saying they couldn't ship it to where I live. They refunded me and everything, so that's fine, but the only store near me that sells this stuff only carries one style of cage, and it's ridiculously expensive. Plus, I won't be able to buy it until after my trip back to the mainland.

It's just frustrating, because this one item is standing in the way of me being able to do the lifts I want to do. My gym doesn't have a squat rack, unfortunately.
