How should a good parallel bar be?
Its imperative that a p-bar as well as pull up bars are not to low to the ground. If they are to low athletes have to break the perfect form ot the body and don´t can do their exercises proberly.
The bars there self should be not too small and with handy surface for the perfect grip.
