Dips are a great movement on their own if you are hoping to increase your overall progress on major upper body exercises such as the bench press. This variation is done using a “Captain’s Chair” which allows us to more fully utilize the chest and triceps in comparison to the bench dip or other variations. This is done by holding a dumbbell between you legs, wearing a dip belt, or even utilizing a dog collar (I will dive more into that in a later post). The biggest pointer when wanting to incorporate your chest is to be sure to stick your chest out in order to maintain maximum pectoralis muscle recruitment. This exercise also fully incorporates the lateral head as the main agonist of all the tricep heads which is great or anyone looking to gain wider posterior brachial definition.
