Description

Using parallel bars, lean your torso forward about 30 degrees and lower yourself until you feel a stretch in the chest, then press back up. The forward lean shifts emphasis from triceps to chest. Arnold considered dips one of the best overall upper body exercises—they work the chest, shoulders, and triceps simultaneously with heavy bodyweight resistance. For added resistance, hang a dumbbell from a belt around your waist. Arnold could dip with over 100 lbs of added weight.
