Between two chairs.

Wall dips.

If you have a sharp angle in a counter, you can do dips there.

Find a playground and do dips there.

Yup be creative. Use your kitchen counter, put a chair besides a table, bicycle-lock thingies... etc

And btw I'm kinda wondering; are wide dips bad for you? It puts some crazy stress on the shoulder, sometimes even pain near the shoulder if I go low enough.

If wide dips hurt don't do them. They can put more stress on the rotator cuff

Daniel, why don't you figure something out on your own for a change? I feel like you ask a different question on here everyday, and they are all things you could figure out on your own. That is what parkour is about, being creative and figuring out how to overcome obstacles, your own way! you gotta find your own path.

Yea, there are some questions that DON'T need to be made a topic. This one is a little different, but for other ones there's this wonderful website called www.google.com

If that's too much then you should have a topic titled "Daniel's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)" since so many of these pop up for you.

It's not my decision, i'm not a mod. Just saying you don't need to start a new thread for every question you have.

When trying to reply to you directly, I get a notification that says "cannot Reply to 10+ users."  You might want to take that up with Stevie Leifheit or Andy Keller.

It's because 10+ users have Daniel in their name and it tries to send it to every one of them.

I do dips just sitting in a regular chair. Maybe they're not dips, more like shoulder shrugs. Or you can do cheater dips from the chair.
Age is just another obstacle. Get over it.
