Hello, I am in the process of making my own parallel bars for the upcoming dip progressions.

How do I determine what width is best for parallel bars?, most seem to be around 50 cm wide.

Is there a standard width?

Thanks 

Johan

Just to be completely sure, does this mean whole forearm plus open hand width? This seems to be a little bit wider than shoulder width.
