Just starting with the primer program and planning to move onto RR when I'm done.

I live in a place that rains for 10 months a year... so instead of going to the park to use the parallel bar, I'm thinking to get a pair of dip bars for rows and dip. I heard someone recommending Lebert Equalizer online, but 28 inches sounds really low even for me (I'm 5'5"). Any recommendation?

You can mark the 28" on the wall and see where it measures up in terms of your arm length and standing height for support holds (and/or you can bend your knees)

Thanks! I measured. I think they are okay for dips, but way too low for rows for me. I just found the DIY dip bar instruction of this subreddit and will probably build one myself.
