How to Bulk Up

Step 5: Body Weight - Dips

Another fantastic body weight exercise for the triceps and (lower) chest. This is done on two parallel bars slightly more than shoulder width apart. Gripping the bars as shown in the video, lower yourself slowly until your elbows are at 90 degrees. Then push through the triceps and chest back to the first position (elbows straight).

Note: If you cannot yet complete a dip, try a modified dip which is the same form, but you put your feet up on something approximately the same height as your hands. Then in a "sitting" position preform the dips. This can be done outside of a gym if you have a bench and a chair: put your palms on the bench (fingers outward) and your feet on the chair.
