Parallel bars are a classic piece of gymnastic equipment that shouldn’t be left to gymnasts, but incorporated into the bodyweight training of all trainees.

There are many parallel bar bodyweight exercises that the average fitness enthusiast can perform to increase core strength, coordination, and muscular endurance, these are not those exercises.

We are convinced that you cannot perform these 7 parallel bar bodyweight exercises, they are not for the novice fitness trainee nor the faint of heart. Be warned!

Only attempt the following bodyweight exercises if you are experienced with advanced bodyweight training…or you know…if someone dares you.

Good luck!
