Does it work for dips? Yup. Does the design make it a pain in the ass to store? Yes.
Rogue or Titan with the flat top make storage flush against a wall possible, rep changed their design to be different not better.
My wife got me this for my birthday and it's been a daily driver for 5 years now. Minus a little wear from j cups you wouldnt be able to tell. Great bar, knurling leaves a little to be desired for my hands.
Got mine for 100 bucks and it does the job. Over 400 the pad is a little soft but thats not a huge problem. Eventually will be a jm press bar when im brave enough to ask my wife of I can buy an elite fts.
