Let me start at the beginning:

The first few years of my training weren’t all that productive.

Sure, I made some progress but not a much as I’d hoped for(and should have actually made).

A big part of the reason why is because I followed these training programs that were complete garbage.

You know the ones I’m talking about.

‘Get a shredded core in 6 weeks’ or ‘Build a bulging chest with this routine’.

Needless to say, most of the pre-made workouts out there aren’t that good and even if they are, there still is no guarantee that they will produce good results for you.

In this post, I’ll be going over in detail on how to make a workout routine for legs that actually works results in less than 10 minutes.

Dips are a great exercise to add to your routine for mass in the chest and triceps. A compound, push-type exercise every athlete should incorporate into their training program no matter their training experience. All you need is a dip bar and your bodyweight.

In this article we’ll go over how to build a big chest with dips and weighted dips and do’s and don’ts for this exercise, so let’s get started!

The width between the two bars is a key factor to where the most emphasis will be on. With a more narrow grip, the triceps get more involved into the movement and with a wider grip – the chest works more.
