How To Make Parallettes (Push-Up Handles) for Strength & Conditioning

I use these every day to boost core strength, improve wrist health, and maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility for my boxing workouts.

In the video below, I’ll show you the step-by-step process to make your own DIY parallettes (mini parallel bars / push-up handles) using standard DN32 (1¼″) PVC pipe (42.4 mm OD, 32 mm ID) and common PVC fittings.

Materials List:

  • 1 × DN32 (1¼″) PVC pipe (38" long)
  • 4 × DN32 PVC elbow joints
  • 4 × DN32 PVC tee fittings
  • 8 × DN32 PVC end caps Duct Tape or PVC cement (optional)

These PVC parallettes are lightweight and portable – perfect for home gyms, garage workouts or taking to the park or beach. Whether you’re training for boxing, calisthenics or general strength and conditioning, these DIY push-up handles will help you push past plateaus and protect your wrists.
