Parallettes are one of our favorite tools for building the kind of strength and control that carries over into everyday life as well as some kickass skills. They're great for beginners (as a way to transition to the floor) and for more advanced trainees (who need help honing certain skills).

Man... your handstand is clean af
been practicing a bit ;)
thanks for all the info!!!
Great video, thanks!
Absolutely love your teaching style
Great video!
Thanks Ryan. You guys are always so thorough in your explanations.
Thanks for All Info god blessed you 🙏
The fun factor is definitely something that convinced me to get a set of P-Bars. P1 has been a BLAST so far ! Thanks Ryan for the video !
Yeah, everybody just loves using the bars - us too!
THANK YOU 😊
Great thanks. Will be getting some soon.
Right on - have fun :)
Thank you so much
Great way to explain it!
I noticed the surfboard 🏄 against the wall!
Thanks. Would love to surf more. Not many waves in Osaka...
I built my p-bars out of 4 pieces of 5 x 5" plywood and two 50 x 500mm diameter roundwood( maybe it's called that) and 4 screws. So it isn't exactly too hard or expensive. Thanks to a broken wrist and constant crashing on MTB the p-bars offer me a pain free session of pushing training. Thank you Brian for a great channel.
That's great - P-bars can really help out a lot if you've had wrist injuries.
Thanks for the wrists warmup man 👍
Sure thing - glad it's helpful :)
can you make a video on your living arrangement? It looks super minimalistic, that's kind of cool.
You don’t wanna see Ryan’s actual house. This is a studio :)
I've been looking to but the P Barz that are in this video? Do you sell them anywhere in this color?
Dusty are Core Strength Co is the man to see: www.core-strength.co/P-Barz.html
Very nice video. Thanks. What about the best thickness of the bar?
Whatever is comfortable
I'm new to this. But I'm liking it. I bought a pair of push up bars today for... push ups, but found they're useful for working triceps... though limited. So I'm thinking about buying parallettes for greater range and challenge. I thought I knew what fitness was, but I can see what people mean by filling in the gaps.
That's great, Matthew!
Thanks this video was pretty helpful definitely need this for my wrist … calisthenics put a lot of pressure on my wrist
Putting pressure on the wrist is how you get strong wrists. It's a shame more types of training don't address this adequately.
@@gmbfit so pain in my wrist is good ?? They claim that’s signs of injury … but I guess they don’t address it much if you view other videos they’ll say use parrallettes to keep from being injured and wrist pain is signs of injury
@@callmesupreme1533 Where did anyone say you should do things that cause pain? Pressure and pain are two very different things.
@@gmbfit any form of workout you should feel something but not enough pressure to cause pain thought you would’ve understood what I meant when I said “ a lot of pressure “ is what I’m saying I was at work when I wrote the comment I noticed I missed pain in the comment but it’s pressure when I touched my wrist an pain when moved a certain way so no it’s not supposed to feel that way ….but never mind got the information I needed on another channel 🤌🏽
thumb pain in right hand anytime i use p-bars. I stretch and ease in, but always discomfort and pain if i push it. Any ways to change up grip or other things to consider. When I take videos my alignment doesnt look to whacky or anything.
You want your thumb on top of the bar - not wrapped around it.
@@gmbfit Thanks for the reply. So thumbs pointing straight out in front of me on top of the bar? I'll give that go.
Yup, it puts the wrist in a more neutral position and changes how your hand supports the weight.
What do you think of baseblocks strongblocks for a beginners? I'm leaning towards getting them coz I can throw them in a bag and take it to a normal gym
Never tried them. I have this set of wooden ones that'll likely last me the rest of my life, so I'm not too interested in testing a bunch of extra equipment that'll just clutter up my space. I'm sure there's reviews online. Be aware that the majority of those very likely received the product for free (like they offered me), so the reviewers often don't have much skin in the game.
What about the thickness of the paralettes? How thick do they need to be for a beginner/intermediate level?
Whatever is both available and comfortable.
Bro where did you get your parallettes? I like yours a lot it looks really sturdy with that wide flat base
Made by my friend Dusty: www.core-strength.co/P-Barz.html
@@gmbfit I just tried to buy one it stopped me at checkout. I think theres an error on the site
I'd suggest contacting Dusty. I don't have anything to do with that.
Do you have any advice for where to find/buy parallette bars online or in person in Japan, since you also live here? I live in Osaka, and mostly what I'm finding on retailers like Amazon are American-made imported p-bars, which are all twice the price as they are in America.
Try bodymaker? Things are expensive in Japan, unless you're looking for Chinese imports. You can find a lot on Rakuten as well.
Wood is the best :)
I recognize height is personal preference. I am a raw novice. 72 years old and want to do bodyweight exercises to supplement bands, total gym, dumbells. I am lean weight wise so not an issue. I see Lebert has some that are 25 inches long and 12 inches high. Pullup and Dip brand has some steel ones that are 20 inches long and 17 inches high. Any view comparing those two which height is "easier" for someone who does not plan on doing handstands. I know there are some that are 28 inches tall and higher but they seem to be for a different use. I am thinking of buying both parallettes and the taller ones. Any view on height (and length) for parallettes would be appreciated. Confused novice. Thanks.Jim
Taller ones are easier to get started with
Nicholas Cage?
You found me
First time watching :) Is that a karate kimono and black belt hanging there?
That's a BJJ kimono, though Ryan's gota few black belts in different things too :)
How does a novice deal with extreme discomfort in hands and wrists even with the hands in the correct position and the metal bar wrapped with tape. It feels like a smaller circumference of the bar would create less strain. What are your thoughts? Thank you.
The novice works up to it without expecting it to be easy. Be gradual. Be consistent. You'll get stronger. That's really all there is to it. Do the work, and it stops sucking as much.
Looks like P-Barz are now discontinued sadly. Wondering if any other good recommendations for beginner p-bars?
I don't know what a "beginner" p-bar is. If you want good ones, I recommend Rogue Fitness.
So are these modeled after Joseph Pilates’ push-up devices?
They're a gymnastics training tool made for training for parallel bar work
Thank you !
What length is preferable 18 inch or 24?
24 feels nice and roomy. 18 is technically enough. Neither is objectively better.
You guys don't offer P1 anymore?
Nope. We'll incorporate the p-bars into other programs, but we're not believers in whole programs based around a single piece of equipment anymore.
how tall are those?
I think about 5 inches. 12 is more standard, as lower is more difficult for many movements.
That’s weird... I find the pbarz harder than rings
It probably depends on the exercise. Definitely depends on what you're used to.
I’ve been accused of being immature and easily amused before, but do you HAVE to call them P bars? Parallettes is only 3 syllables long lol
We have literally no choice.
