Top 10 Workouts for Muscle Mass- #8 Dips



Dips

Every workout has its ups and downs (groan...), but nothing has more than dips. That sentence is also why I'm a bodybuilder and not a comedian. But being serious, there are some advantages and disadvantages to dips, but it's absolutely the best thing around for building mass in your triceps.



Another benefit of dips is that they use multiple joints- wrists, elbows, and shoulders- and this can strengthen them to allow you to push more weight in your bench presses. Since this is essentially a bodyweight exercise, it's never going to be as popular as anything else. The dip bar at the gym won't be drawing a huge crowd, but another great thing is that you can really do it anywhere. Set two chairs up in your home back to back and dip in between them.

If you're not feeling the burn, try adding weight to the movement. You can do this with the chin up as well to get some extra muscle from a very simple exercise.
