Can you do forward facing dips using the handles?

Good question. Have never tried. This is a solid built piece of equipment so it might. When I am back in town in a few days, I will give it a try and let you know.

Yes. Forward facing dips on this 45-degree bench is possible for a 200 lb. man.

I confirmed this can be done. I weigh 165 and had no worries. Hope this helps.

No. The handle bars are directly connected to the pedal motion. You don't have to use the handles though, you can just pedal and be hands free but your handle bars will be moving.

It is not easy to do both since you bike sitting and it will be very difficult to reach to the handles. I tried but it was hard

I don't have a sumo rack but looking at the measurements and judging my own heights you should be good bread using them at the highest holes and watching not to hit your knees on the wrap around bar. Not ideal, but hey dips are great any way you can get them in. And at the price of these handles it worth a go.

You could, but not very easily. You'd have to have the safety bars up really high and move the stands into position, and the safety bars are not round, but flat, so it would not be comfortable on the hands. I would probably find a kitchen counter with a corner to do chest dips before I'd mess around with this unit.

I do dips all the time on mine and have never experienced that issue (shoulders or anything else bumping into vertical handles).

Basically yes, just need to slid handles on. I love my 3 wheeler (that's what I call it) I'm planing on walking in 5k marathon using it. You can't go wrong purchasing one.

I'm not sure. But I would upgrade the handles. Look at the micarta handles.

Only if you have greasy hands. Non slip both dry and wet with clean hands. Of course any stabbing motion negates good handle and should only be done with knives that have guards as most people's hand will slip regardless of traction on handle. I hope this helps.

Yes. The handles are ambidextrous. They are not shaped in a right handed specific shape.

No. Our only concern about the handles is that they are quite short. Other than that, they are fine.

They attach to two of the side posts with the handles on the inner side of the posts. The handles are definitely less than 3.5' apart. I use them solely for dips and have no trouble.

Hardly likely, provided the dips are done bio-mechanically correctly. Remember to not go deeper than pectoral level, when 'dipping', as hyper-extension of the delts can lead to painful bursitis, and or, tissue-tears.The machine is very well-designed and once used as directed, shall yield accident-free results.

Yes the handle can be adjusted to different angles. There is not a particular amount of positions it can be adjusted to because the angle of the push handle will move until the handle is tightened to the position you want.

Yes. The higher handles are easier to use if you have limited hip flexibility. The lower handles offer a greater range of motion. Great bar!

No the handle should be straight back towards you as there is no offset or ergonomic design to the shovel.... Just used it the past two days to shovel the 16 inches of snow that we received due to the lake affect snow storm and additionally what the plows pushed into the driveway ....

Yes on most of these you can. Not to hard to do, just put the handle on the other side. Also you can adjust on which side you want the seat back.
