Which Parallettes Are Right for You? Find the Best Fit for Your Calisthenics Goals

At Calisthenixpro, we don’t just sell parallettes—we design tools made for progress, crafted by athletes who live and breathe calisthenics. Whether you're working on your first planche lean or dialing in handstand push-ups, choosing the right P-bar makes a difference.

In this post, we break down the 3 types of parallettes we offer—and which training style they’re best for.

🔩 High Chrome Parallettes (Heavy Duty Edition 2.0)

Best for: Planche • HSPU • V-Sit • Advanced Combos

These are the heaviest and most stable parallettes in our lineup. Designed with wide, angled chrome bases, they give you maximum ground contact—meaning no wobble, no tipping, even during heavy presses or explosive transitions.

Why Athletes Love Them:

• Perfect for planche, press-to-handstand, and V-sit training

• Unmatched stability for dynamic combos (think: HSPU to planche)

• Great grip with interchangeable steel knurled handles

• Solid base = Confidence under pressure

If you're pushing high-level static and dynamic strength, these are your go-to parallettes.

🧱 Low Chrome Parallettes (Heavy Duty Edition 2.0)

Best for: Handstands • Push-Ups • Planche Variations

These sit lower to the ground, giving you more control and a closer feel to floor work. Built with the same heavy-duty steel construction and angled stability as our high version, they’re the ideal base for balance-focused work.

Key Benefits:

• Optimal height for handstands and deep push-up progressions

• Low center of gravity = even more stability for planche drills

• The ultimate companion to the Static Bar Pro — perfect for combining push and pull training

• No sliding, no slipping—just solid reps every time

If you’re building foundational control, or dialing in your handstand or planche, these are a must.
