Hi folks,

 

I've made pair of parallettes for home practice, I will post some pictures soon. I just have one question, they are 3cm in diameter, is that too thin?

 

Thanks,

Marko

It's a little on the thin side. 4-5cm is a better width in my opinion. But I don't think it will make a major difference unless the narrowness makes your hands uncomfortable. 

Mr.MJR

Unfortunately it makes, but I can take it, I was only concerned if that would jeopardize my progress if they are too thin. Thanks for the answer

A generous amount of duct tape will nicely increase the girth and comfort of your handles :)

Mr.MJR

Hahah yeah I thought of that today, that's probably what I'm gonna do, thanks for your answers mates :)
