Dips - assisted, body weight and weighted - a great exercise for a couple different body parts Dips - assisted, body weight and weighted - a great exercise for a couple different body parts
 		Save Tip

I've found that dips are a great exercise to use for stengthening/building both the chest and the triceps. I'll do pyramids (increasing weight, decreasing reps) over 3 or 4 sets, dropping the weights after burnout on the last set and completing a few more bodyweight dips for a greater burn. The more the body stays upright, the more the exercise will hit the triceps. The more you lean forward, the more you will hit the chest. Depending on your workout splits, you may want to try doing a variety of both in the same workout. Give it a shot!

Hulbs “ good post Donnie V,
I also like dips (although i just do 5 sets of body weight dips to failure atm) and use them for both tris and chest like you mentioned. I think i lot of guys in my gym neglect to do own body weight exercises like dips and chins to their own detriment. ”
