I am guessing this is from a dvd... what dvd is it from anyone know?

I built some today, cost me $21, to save some money i used connectors instead of end caps, the endcaps were $2.50, and the connectors were $0.50 for basically the same thing

I also would have liked to hear Coach's explanation but I can tell he is saying to keep the elbows tucked into the body, etc. He gives such good instruction; it's a shame not to be able to hear it.

[devilishstoner]

is there a version of this without the music? i'd like to hear his explanations.

[otteification]

Yeah, great video but I'd like to hear Scott's explanation of the form.

Just finished making my own pair of 'lettes. $21.00. Now if I can only do half of this demo. I figure at 52, I'd have a jump on most folks my age. Wish me good fortune.

I priced out the mats for 2 parallettes at our local Home Depot (Lower Mainland of BC Canada) a few days back--$75! Grr. I spoke to a client who is in commercial construction and he says that abs pipe prices really jumped awhile back, and even though the raw materials are down in price again, the stores are keeping the prices of pipe, etc., up. $2.78 for a single 1.5" end cap! $4.78 for a T-joint. Yikes. I'm going to try WA state, I think!

Just was at a hardware store. Made myself a pair that cost about 21 dollars.

Here are the supplies

1 10' PVC pipe (mine was 1 1/4" thick, 40 schedule)

8 caps

4pvc T connectors

4 Right Angle connectors

The ten foot pole gets cut into two 18 inch sections(handle part), four 8 inch sections(Vertical legs), and eight 6 inch sections(horizontal leg sections at the bottom.

Awesome tutorial... I made my parallettes a while back and have been trying to transition from a pushup stance into a handstand.

I'm really glad I found this. I think it will help a lot!

[tyciol]

I want to try these with pushup handles, but making full paralettes is probably more stable, with a thicker pipe to grip and more clearance if I build it that way.

[zuzma]

i just made somme 'llettes just like the ones in this vid 4 days ago. they dont compare to any other workout tool that i have and they only cost $23 for supplies at lowes

[joeycusack80]

What materials did you use to make your parralettes?

[crazydiamond025]

Build them from the pvc parts found in the plumbing section. Be sure the pvc you choose is strong and sturdy enough for your weight.
