Similar exercises to Negative Dips
Dips on the Parallel Bars
Parallel Bar Dips are an effective exercise for building strength and muscle mass, particularly in the chest and triceps area. They are well-suited for training with additional weight, such as a weight vest or dip belt. Although parallel bar dips require less stabilization than Ring Dips, they are ideal for anyone looking to specifically build muscle mass and strength.
Weighted Ring Dips
Weighted ring dips are an advanced variation of classic dips, where the additional weight significantly increases intensity. This exercise primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps, with the instability of the rings often meaning that less weight can be managed compared to dips on parallel bars. However, many trainees feel their chest muscles working more intensely when training on rings. In addition to regular ring dips, Bulgarian ring dips offer another challenging ring dip variation.
Bulgarian Dips with gym rings
Bulgarian ring dips are a challenging exercise that intensely targets the chest muscles. Compared to regular bar dips, the rings allow for a greater range of motion, leading to a deeper stretch of the chest. The upper arms are brought further outward, which intensifies the chest stretch even more. This exercise is an advanced variation of the classic ring dips.
