Press dip bars with adjustable sit up board plan

On this page you can download a plan for the making of a simple yet multifunctional piece ofexercise equipment consisting of press dip bars and a sit-up board. The whole construction ismade of metal (except for the board (Part 11 - Plank) which is made of wood) and consists of astructure on whose upper part there are press dip bars, and on the lower part a ladder used for thesit-up board to lean against. The ladder has 6 height adjustments which also serve to adjust thesit-up board slant.

This is a simple construction to which you can add numerous options for more comfort and lotsof extra exercises: - The sit-up board can be modified (by shortening the Plank (Part 11)) in order to install rollerpads for easier access and greater comfort. In this way, you won’t have to lean your feet on theladder.- The sit-up board can be padded to make it more comfortable.- The press dip bars can be modified to enable the captain's chair exercise (vertical knee raise).

With press dip bars you can perform dips, knee raise and captain's chair. The muscles mostaffected by exercise on the press dip bars are: the back, pectorals, triceps, lats and shouldermuscles all at the same time.To perform the dips (or push-ups) exercise:- pull yourself up onto the dip bar so that your body is vertical and all the pressure is on yourhands- lower yourself down until the top part of your arms become horizontal - then you push yourself back up to a vertical.

As you may conclude from the above explanation, by doing the dip exercise you can build up alot of strength in your upper body quite quickly. On the other hand, by practicing on the sit-upboard you can add strength and tone to the entire abdominal section. With press dip bars you canperform a large number of exercises: crunches, sit-ups, leg raise, Russian twist, push-ups fornewbies.

There are a lot of pictures and videos on the Internet that will explain how to practice effectivelyon press dip bars orsit-up board. This is a multifunctional device for the workout of the upperbody and abdomen, and if you adjust it to yourselves (both construction and comfort), you canhave a professional exercise machine at an extremely low price. One more of its great features isthat the whole device is easily stored away taking up minimal space (put the sit-up board behindthe ladder).

The making of this device is not difficult and requires only the basic knowledge and experiencein metal processing and welding. Also, for manufacturing you need some basic tools (ruler (tapemeasure), angle grinder, screwdriver ...) and a welding machine. The construction is mounted onthe wall and floor with anchors and screws, whereas the wall and floor must be of hard material.Apply primer paint to the construction to protect it from corrosion and paint with color.
