Can you do front-facing dips using the handles attached to the pad?

If you're light enough and shorter, you probably could, but it certainly was not designed for it. I would say no in general.

It will not support your weight due to the leverage being in the opposite direction that the original setup was designed for. Perform at own risk.

I used a different door way pull-up bar with this. It looks like it will. The hooks that will tie the dip station to the pull up bar, will hook over the back bar inside pads. I wasn't thrilled with the dip station. It didn't feel solid. When I was doing dips, I was more focused on keeping the bars from wobbling then I was actually doing the dips.

Yes, Hold the handles one in each hand, thread the right handle into the opening above left handle. In the process of threading the right handle the two handles will switch hands and repeat putting the now right handle into the opening above the now left handle. Your now left handle will become the single/one side allowing the unilateral exercises. TRX added the restriction loop as an afterthought and they taught me how to do the threading. For safety and convenience I understand TRX added the "restriction loop".

The handles are 2ft apart, however the come out in an angle, this might be inappropriate position for dips.

Yes. There's a pin located on the side of the handle bar, that if pulled out, you can bring the bar straight to you during your workout or you can do a side twist that helps with getting rid of love handles. If the pin is in, the bar won't rotate with you. I keep my pin out so I can do both moves during the workout. You will LOVE this machine! Hope this answers your question.

Yes, you can turn them any way you like. I've found myself having unintentionally rotated the weights switching between exercises to the point the logo (on top) was completely upside down. There was no change in the plate positioning, weight distribution, grip, etc. I've had (and very actively) used these for six months now and they are phenomenal.

I have routinely done side bench triceps dips so definitely, yes. It is sturdy enough to do step ups, but you will risk tearing up the padding.

If you choose, you can tighten the straps right up to the bar on the power rack so Yes; you can adjust them for dips on a 6 foot device. I have mine hanging from a bar on my basement rafter which is under 7 feet. Obviously you will have to bend your legs to do the dips and you will have to contend with some swing effect, but dips are very do-able.

no, unlike the a4, or carry handle. elevation must be done with front post. left and right yes.

I would say yes. The handles do have some friction to them, so you do have to try and make the handles rotate (not a difficult task if desired though). It might depend on your strength as to whether you can keep them at a 45 degree angle. Just tried though, and didn't have a problem. Good luck!

Well it was not designed for ab exercises. But you can do abs anywhere, so sure. The back will decline, so you could probably do some sort of declining situp. However, there is nothing to lock your feet into. Though you could probably wrap a rope or strap around the front mounted handle and then stick your feet into the strap.

Not really, unless you do a partial dip for your heel or toes. Just large enough for your hand.

1. Yeah, it is stable enough for dips.2. It's not terribly thick, but I have never experienced any discomfort.3. Don't worry, you won't fall off. However, you will notice it taking slightly more effort to stabilize your body in a flat chest press, and sometimes doing flies you will feel your shoulder blades hitting the edge of the pad.

Agree with all the answers below. I have been doing dips on mine for months and that never happened.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have done just that with mine. I also turned the handle to be right in front not off to the side. I've had this faucet, for about 2-3 years now and LOVE it.

you can do almost anything, provided that you have strong balance and control skills... Since the power dip station hangs from a chin bar and only rests on the door frame, you would need to adapt (removable) straps to secure the station while doing rows, to prevent it from moving to the sides and backwards... Good luck

I use it alone. You can use the handles to help you invert and then pull back to upright.
