Parallel Bar Dips

This is another excellent basic exercise that intensely stresses the pectoral muscles, especially the lower and outer sections of the muscle group. Secondary stress is placed on the anterior deltoids and triceps.

How to perform Parallel bar dips:

Grasp the parallel bars with your palms facing each other and jump up to support yourself above the bars with straight arms as illustrated. Tilt your head slightly forward and bend the legs. This will help you lean into the movement as you do it.

Slowly bend your arms until you are in a low, but comfortable position down between the bars. You should try to bend your arms well past the point where they make a 90-degree angle between the upper arm and forearm. Push back up to the starting position by straightening your arms and repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Parallel Chest Dips Start:

Parallel bar dips exercise tips:

This is an advanced exercise and should only be done by experienced bodybuilders. It should also be performed only when the muscles involved in parallel dips are fully warmed up. A good idea to adapt the chest and arm muscles to doing parallel bar dips is to attempt half dips until you build up enough strength then go a little lower at each separate workout. When you can easily do 12 full repetitions of parallel dips then try adding extra weights to a weight-lifting belt in order to increase training intensity.
