Performance Benefits
Targeted Muscle Engagement: By "clocking" handles into different angles, users can shift the focus of the exercise. For example, the 7-degree Downward setting shifts the torso horizontally to emphasize the pectoral muscles, while the Straight setting mimics gymnastics parallel bars.
Repeatable Setup: The knurled handle option includes marks every 4”, allowing athletes to find and replicate their exact grip position for every workout.
Quick Adjustments: The Monster Knurled Knob enables tool-free handle swaps and width adjustments in seconds.
Ergonomic Variety: Three width settings (Narrow, Mid, and Wide) ensure that athletes of all shoulder widths can perform dips with optimal mechanics and reduced joint strain.
Maintenance and Care
Handle Care: * Knurled Handles: Use a plastic bristle brush to remove chalk and skin buildup from the texture.
Smooth Handles: Wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth to remove sweat and oils.
Protective Liners: Periodically inspect the UHMW plastic channels and frame guards. Ensure they are free of debris to prevent scratching your rack's powder coat.
Moving Parts: Ensure the Monster Knurled Knob threads remain clean. If the detent pin becomes difficult to slide, a small drop of light machine oil can be applied to the pin mechanism.
Storage Mode: The Velocidor can be "flipped" into a vertical storage position on the rack upright using the same detent pin. Ensure the integrated plastic lining on the underside is aligned with the upright to avoid metal-on-metal contact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Velocidor too heavy to move easily? A: While it weighs 44.5 lbs, the handles are removable to make moving the frame more manageable. Supporting the unit with your hip or thigh while pulling the detent pin is a recommended method for safe height adjustments.
Q: Can I mount this to a wall? A: Each Velocidor includes a 12" Mini Strip for off-rack storage on a wall. However, for actual training, the unit should be mounted to a 3x3" rack or rig upright that is securely bolted to the floor.
Q: What is the benefit of the knurled handles? A: The knurling provides a more secure, slip-resistant grip compared to the smooth version, and the integrated marks every 4" make it easy to ensure your hands are perfectly symmetrical on both sides.
