Body-Solid (GDIP59B) Dip Station - Heavy-Duty Steel Dip Bars with Slip-Proof Grips - Adjustable & Stable Pull-Up Stand for Strength Training - Powder Coated Fitness Equipment, Black

I ordered this product online and received it in less than 5 days. It is heavy and very well contructed. Assembly required about 20 minutes to complete myself with 2 adjustable wrenches. The black and white exploded diagram is sufficient and it is straightforward. The station is designed to have an outward flaring direction for the handles which is widest toward the back. This allows adjustment of grip to accomodate pectoral emphasis with wide grip or tricep emphasis with a narrow grip. The handles are covered with a dense foam rubber which makes the grip comfortable, unlike some bare metal or knurled surfaces which can potentially tear skin when using additional weight. The welding is complete and well finished, with no rough edges or burrs. The device is reported to accomodate up to 500 pounds, and this claim is believable given the rugged contstruction. The station does not rock or buckle, even when doing rapid repetitions with added weight. It is a commercial gym quality piece at a fairly reasonable price. I definitely would purchase again!

Purchased this item off Amazon as an addition to my home gym that i've been piecing together for years. This was one of the few items that I did not have, so I did my research and came to amazon. Having owned Body Solid equiptment in the past, I know their quality is top-notch. This dip-station is no different. It is a high-end piece of workout equipment, gym quality. Hands down the one of the best dip bars i've ever utilized in my life. It arrived quickly and was packaged very well. Setup was quick and easy, which included only a few nuts/bolts and sticking some grip tape in a few places. The foam grips are very comfortable, gentle on the hands, but provide enough friction for a sure grip. I'm very happy with the height of this product, as it makes it a breeze for even tall people with a weight belt to get full extension. For the price/quality, you can't beat it. Fitness equiptment stores in this area don't even sell used ones for this price. Thanks amazon, this thing is NICE!!!!

It's ok, not as sturdy as they say. Sturdiness will improve if you put on a Mat, vs bare floor. I do like the height and feet placement. But when doing some calisthenic moves, I do feel like the bards can push outward. Definitely would be better if thicker gauge steel or welded. For the price, I definitely would have looked at something else. Not as sturdy as expected for paying a premium. I am 174 lb guy.

I purchased this back in September 2011... I wasn't keen on leaving reviews back then. It is now October 2024, and the dip station stands as one of my most sensible purchases!!Sturdy, and not a space-taker. Versatile as well. Try some core exercises like leg raises as well!!

I looked at a ton of dip stations before buying the Body Solid, including designs to make my own. I bought this model based on simplicity, price and the reviews I read beforehand. The decision proved to be solid on all points. It took maybe 20 minutes to assemble, works perfectly and it's exactly what I wanted in a dip station. The station is nearly a commercial-grade product; it's that heavy duty. I've had users up to 250 lbs work out on it and it remains rock solid and stable. You couldn't build a better station yourself for less than what this sells for and this is up and ready to use 20 minutes after arriving. If you're looking for a dependable, solid, simple dip station, this is most definitely the product you want.

This dip stand is by far the best I have ever used. It has amazing craftsmanship and is heavy duty. I weigh 210 pounds, am 6'0" tall and do weighted dips on this rig often, sometimes with up to 60 pounds of additional weight strapped to a dip belt. It does not rock nor bend on a flat surface. This rig was clearly built for wear and tear, abuse, and very heavy weight. This stand is gym quality or even better than gym quality. One of the best purchases I have made.The parallel bars slant inward towards the front and expand as you go towards the back of the handles. This is great because you can perform various kinds of dips. With a wider grip you can put more emphasis on the chest and at its narrowest point in the beginning, you can blow up your triceps. Assembly is also very straightforward and easy. I highly recommend this machine. It is made for hardcore enthusiasts with amazing quality.
