Bodyweight Tricep Exercises

Dips are one of the best bodyweight exercises that you can do for triceps. Not only is it a great exercise for your triceps but it is also a good exercise for your chest. If your own bodyweight ceases to be enough of a challenge at some time you can always add a little weight strapped to a belt or you can hook a dumbbell in the crook of your knee.

You can do dips on a variety of different things if you don’t have access to a health club. You can use two chairs that are pushed together. Or you can make a dip station of your own. There are probably several plans that you can find on the internet but I saw one from Matt Wichlinski of the Strength Shop in Virginia Beach, VA. It is part of a larger video that shows some of his homemade equipment. The dip station is made out of 2″ PVC. I will be trying to make one in the coming weeks. When I do I will put the measurements that I used online. In the meantime you can view the video and have a go at it yourself if you want to.
