Missing Dips so need to make purchase; Rogue Matador or alternative?
I used to do weighted Dips at the gym that had an old bodymasters dip station. I think the bars had a very modest angle and that the width was on the narrower side, which was comfortable and felt good on my shoulders.
Been months since I've done any Dips and looking to change that.
I have a rogue SML-1 monster lite rack with conversion kit, so effectively a mini power rack (24" deep crossmembers).
Thus evaluating whether to get the matador ($117 after tax & shipping) or a freestanding alternative.
I do not have space for one of those large power tower / dip station combos (bummer bc those are constantly sold used for little $$). So choice is matador or a pure dip station. I found a thread a few years ago on this topic, but not much insight.
I've been looking used for a good compact dip station since last fall with no luck. So I'd probably have to buy it new.
Thoughts? Pros / Cons of matador and freestanding dip station? Any specific freestanding models to get or avoid? I know there are numerous garbage freestanding dip stations out there.
