DC Athletics wooden parallettes for calisthenics – low push-up & handstand bars, 1.4 in grip, FSC beech

These DC Athletics wooden parallettes are compact, wrist-friendly push-up and handstand bars crafted from FSC-certified beech for stable bodyweight training anywhere.

Lightweight yet sturdy, these low parallettes are designed to support a broad range of calisthenics movements from beginner push-ups to advanced handstand and planche progressions. Finished smooth to avoid splinters and sized for portability, the pair arrives fully assembled and ready for use at home, the gym, or outdoors. The combination of a 1.4 in (3.5 cm) grip, wide anti-slip bases, and a 150 kg (330 lb) load rating balances comfort, stability, and durability for everyday practice.

How do these parallettes protect my wrists during push-ups and dips?

The rounded 1.4-inch wooden grips place your wrists in a more neutral angle compared with flat floor contact, reducing uncomfortable extension during pressing movements. The smooth beech surface is splinter-free and sized to fit most hands, which helps maintain control through full ranges of motion.

• 1.4 in (3.5 cm) ergonomic wooden grip for neutral wrist alignment
• Splinter-free finish for comfortable, confident holds
• Stable base prevents shifting during pressing and dipping

Are these parallettes stable enough for handstands and planche progressions?

Yes — wide feet and anti-slip pads provide a secure platform on hard floors, gym surfaces, and low-pile carpet, making them suitable for static holds and skill work. Their rock-solid stance helps you focus on technique without compensating for wobble.

• Anti-slip pads for strong floor friction and balance
• Wide bases increase contact area to reduce tipping
• 150 kg (330 lb) maximum load for confident skill practice

What materials and construction should I expect?

The parallettes are crafted from selected 3A-grade beech hardwood with FSC certification, offering a durable, natural alternative to plastic or composite bars. Each piece is smoothly sanded and sealed to prevent splinters, and the set ships fully assembled for immediate use.

• FSC-certified beech wood for sustainable, strong construction
• 3A-grade selection and smooth finish for longevity and comfort
• Fully assembled out of the box — no tools required

How portable are these for travel and home workouts?

Designed to be compact and light, these parallettes measure 11.8 x 4.9 x 3.7 in and weigh about 1.5 kg per set, making them easy to pack with gym gear or carry to outdoor sessions. Their modest footprint still supports a wide exercise variety, so you can get effective bodyweight training away from large equipment.

• Compact dimensions for easy storage and transport
• Lightweight 1.5 kg per set for travel-friendly workouts
• Versatile for indoor, outdoor, and gym use
