20 Dip Variations for Chest and Triceps

The best bodyweight exercises to hit your pecs and arms.

Dips are a simple and effective bodyweight exercise to train your upper body. Check out these 20 dip variations for chest and triceps.

The list was shared by the YouTube channel Calisthenic Movement, created by sports teacher and fitness guru Alex Lorenz, and physical therapist and licensed fitness trainer Sven Kohl.

The dip is a bodyweight exercise usually performed on a bar or on rings – the latter being for more advanced athletes.

This versatile exercise can be tweaked to focus more on your chest or your triceps, depending on what is your goal. A general rule of thumb is that the more you lean forward with your upper body, the more your chest will be activated; doing dips in a fully vertical position will hit more your triceps.
