Exercise

Arms

 

Dip
Target: triceps, chest

This can be tough to get right at first, but keep at it if you want to add real power and mass to your upper arms.

Dip
  • Grip parallel bars just wider than hip-width.
  • Point your elbows straight back.
  • Lower slowly and push back up powerfully.
  • Lower as far as is comfortable (try not to overstress your shoulder joints).
  • Don’t swing your legs for momentum and keep your body upright throughout.

Variation: Assisted dip

If you struggle to do full dips, the dip machine can help you get started.
 

Variation: Weighted dip

If you find dips easy, hang a weight plate from your waist so that you hit failure within your chosen rep range.
 

Variation: Fold dip

Draw in your knees and lean forward during the dip. It takes pressure off your shoulder.
