Dips - Triceps Version

Exercise Data
Main Muscle Worked: Triceps
Other Muscles Worked: Chest, Shoulders
Equipment: BodyOnly
Mechanics Type: Compound

Tips: Using the parallel bars, grip the handles and push yourself up to your starting position. With elbows close to body and hips straight, lower body until shoulders are slightly stretched. Push body up in same posture and repeat. You can bend and cross your legs or keep them straight. To work the triceps, keep your body STRAIGHT up and down and do not lean over. Leaning over would work more of the lower chest. You can add weight by using a Dip Belt.
