What should be dimensions of Homemade Parallettes ?

[Ibn Saeed]

Hello

I am a beginner at L sits. I want to get a parallette, and i need to give the right dimensions to the worker.

I searched online and found these 3 dimensions.

1. 48 inches long and have a 1 ½ inch diameter.
   18" inches long and 1 ½ inch diameter.
   23" long and 8" high and1 ½ inch diameter.
   24" inches long and 7" inches high and1 ½ inch diameter.

Which should be right dimension for beginner ? The higher or the lowest, the longest or the shortest ?

It doesn't matter.

One of the advantages of a set of taller parallettes is that you can use them for HSPU one day.

There isn't a real need for them to have long rails unless you plan to do HS pirouettes ("turns")

Cool, those allow an L-sit to sag a bit if you cannot hold an L at horizontal or you can do L-sit in tuck.
