Dip apparatus, methods, and systems

An exercise system, comprising:

• a collapsible and portable dip apparatus, the collapsible and portable dip apparatus comprising:
• a first side structure comprising:
• a first gripping bar supported by a first leg and a second leg, wherein the first leg and the second leg are adjustable along a z-axis to relocate the first gripping bar along the z-axis;
• and
• a first support bar connecting the first leg and the second leg, the first support bar disposed below the first gripping bar along the z-axis;
• a second side structure disposed opposite the first side structure and aligned parallel to the first side structure when the collapsible and portable dip apparatus is positioned for a dip exercise, the second side structure comprising:
• a second gripping bar disposed opposite the first gripping bar, the second gripping bar supported by a third leg and a fourth leg, wherein the third leg and the fourth leg are adjustable along the z-axis to relocate the second gripping bar along the z-axis;
• and
• a second support bar connecting the third leg and the fourth leg, the second support bar disposed below the second gripping bar along the z-axis;
• and
• a central support structure connecting the first side structure to the second side structure, wherein each of the first side structure and the second side structure are pivotable towards the central support structure thereby reducing a footprint of the collapsible and portable dip apparatus when the collapsible and portable dip apparatus is positioned for storage;
• and
• one or more resistance bands, wherein a resistance band of the one or more resistance bands includes a first end having a first connector and a second end including a second connector, wherein the resistance band is structurally configured to loop around the first support bar and the second support bar and to form a continuous loop thereabout by attaching the first connector and the second connector, and wherein the resistance band is structurally configured to receive knees of a user thereon when the user performs the dip exercise using the collapsible and portable dip apparatus, the resistance band providing upward assistance to the user when performing the dip exercise.
