I don't have any parallel bars to do this on at my gym. Is there any other way I can simulate this move?

PE12 - Russian L Dip

HI James, nope i'm sorry, the upper arm support needs 2 bars, especially because the elbows should be placed a bit under bars level.
I use a dip station and face out. You don't need full pbars just a little longer than forearms. Where have you done the previous dip variations?
I did as Jason when i train out of my normal gymnastics facility. you have to find a way to fix the 2 big bars on the rack.
Jeremy I had what you mentioned at my last gym but just moved offices and the new gym doesn't have it.
Jason - love it. Great idea. Definitely going to try this. Finally a use for the smith machine ![]()
Hi James,
You may also stack plyo boxes for the Russian Dips.

Good call! Kinder to the elbows too
I have to second the method above! I've been doing them on plyo boxes for a while and just couldn't do more than one. Using the double barbells this morning, I was able to bang out several, almost easily. Night and day difference.
Christopher, if you could post videos of both for reference that would great.
