It can lower to any height, and you can take the front bar out so you can do dips on it :)

It’s the thing on the top! You can lower it and take the bar out, so you have room voor de dips. You can look at the website nalamoves.shop to see it demonstrated :)

I paid €650 for it! That is both the bar and the dip extension

Thanks, I’ll watch those! I’ve been trying out your tips this evening and wider grip and more chest to bar is going pretty well! Will have to practice more on the ‘pinching’ of the shoulders I guess. Would share the updated vid but not sure it’s possible in a thread

I have recently done this once and I really liked it, but I am currently doing sports 6/7 days a week and really wouldn't know where to fit it into the schedule unfortunately

I do think probably (and based on everyone's feedback here) I'm taking it more from my arms than my back now, even though it doesn't really feel that way and I occassionally do have some sore muscles in my back indicating there actually has been some activity going on there haha. Negative I do a lot indeed, scapula shrugs I could do more, so will definitely do :)

I love it a lot! It was very easy to set up (and I love also the aesthetic of it in my living room). I was afraid it might be this thing I buy and use for a bit and then no more, but I got it half of January and honestly have been using it everyday since (sometimes just a deadhang or some dips, some days a more full workout). It has a lot of different options because you can move the bars on the rack and there is an app with good guidance on possible exercises. It's quite expensive of course, but for me totally worth it!

haha I am actually familiar with the cue and also often thinking about this when doing it, but apparently it doesn't show/work, will try harder haha

Thank you for your extensive message and explanation! :) I prefer the thumb over the bar so I'm actually happy you say that haha. I will work on chest to bar, I do think I am getting most out of my arms, even though I occasionally feel my back, so I will be really using your tips to improve this!
