Hi,
a friend of mine is selling his parallel bars (see photo); can get it for a few $.
I know a few exercises in F1 & F2 where it make sense to own such a device. I am not in F3 & F4. So my question to the coaches and other athletes in this forum: does it make sense to own such a tool?
Thanks!

Hi Dieter,
Parallel bars are awesome so if you have the opportunity, I say get them! You'll use them for some exercises in F3 and F4 as well.
Hi Everett,
just got them. Thanks for your advice.
One more question: the length of the wooden side rails/holms/bars (not sure what´s the correct word is) is 3,30m (130inches). Do I need this size?
In other words: to do my training can I shorten the bars? Would e.g. 2,00m (78 inches) be good enough to do all the exercises in F1-F4?

You could shorten them to 78 inches and be just fine.
