A Primer, Bodyweight Basics

DIPS
BOX DIPS
Pushing and pressing movements like dips are great for building the triceps, which actually
make the arms a lot bigger than just training biceps!
We start our dip journey with box dips. All you need is the end of a bed, a chair, a step or a
box. Anything that will support your weight that's elevated works.
Once your legs are locked out straight (or bent if straight is too hard, this shifts more
weight on your legs than arms) begin to lower yourself. Keep your back close to the platform
you're using and bring yourself as low as you can to stretch the triceps. Lower will be
better but do what you can to start.
Place the hands on the
object with fingers facing
forwards, then extend your
legs as far as you can.
It you experience
wrist discomfort,
try finding a wider
surface to put your
hands on
Keep your back as close to
the object as you can
