Arnold Schwarzenegger Dips

Dips is an exercise used in strength training. Weight supported on the arms or on a dip bar with arms straight. Bend the arms to a 90 degree angle (lowering their body), then slowly returns to the starting position of straight arms (lifting your body’s weight).

Dips primarily train the triceps, and will also build the latissimi dorsi and pectorals with wide arm training.
