Bench Dips With Weight
The feet elevated bench dip is a popular bodyweight exercise for building the triceps chest and shoulders.
Bench dips with weight. Elevating the feet brings more chest and shoulder into the movement but also allows for extra weight on the hips. The weighted bench dip is a highly effective exercise for building the triceps. If these bother your shoulders try performing them between two benches or chairs rather than on a single bench.
The resistance comes from a combination of body weight and added weight usually a weight plate. I recommend starting off your arm workout with dips and as soon as you re hitting the double digit rep range start considering to add additional resistance in the form of a dumbbell or 45lb weight plate to continue to overload the muscle. Make the bench dip exercise easier by performing it with your heels on the floor.
A regular dip is a progression of a bench dip. Make it more difficult by placing a loaded barbell or just a weight plate on your lap weighted bench dip. See video or by graduating to the triceps dip which is performed on parallel bars.
