Of course, we think the P-bars are a great training tool for just about anybody, but that doesn’t mean they’re the end-all-be-all of strength. They’re just a tool – a tool that’s extremely useful for certain goals when used properly.

Sure. I guess that's one way to use them...
But not everyone knows how to use parallettes properly, which results in a lot of misinformation going around.
That why we made this series of videos on our Parallette Training website. Here’s the roundup of Parallette Training Myths:
- Myth #1: I Need Super Strength to Use Parallettes
- Myth #2: Using Parallettes is Cheating!
- Myth #3: Parallettes Are Only Good For Push-Ups
- Myth #4: Parallettes Are Just For Gymnasts!
- Myth #5: Parallettes Are Just For Gymnasts, Pt. 2
Each of these common parallette training myths comes from actual questions we’ve received via email or on our Facebook page. Perhaps you’ve had the same concerns? Make sure to check out the videos, and we’ll set you straight.
If you still have lingering concerns or any other questions about how to use parallettes in the most effective way to build strength and handbalancing skills, let us know by leaving a comment. We’ll be sure to answer your questions, either right here, or in a new video.
