    Dips at Home

    Hey all,
    I work out at home and don't have a dip station. I'd like to start doing dips. Any creative ideas on improvising for getting these done without buying a dip station.

    Just Curious
    Thanks

    I used to dip between the gap in the kitchen tops. Also two chairs work great if they are not too low/to light.

    yep. do them in the corner of the kitchen bench
    What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

    Do them off the edge of your weight bench, and place your feet out onto a stool. If thats too easy, place a few plates on your lap for extra weight.

    That bench dips (for Tri's mainly), I thought the question was about normal dips (ie dip station) which is also for Tri's but can be for chest.

    Myself...I only do dips on days I do chest and tris together. They are weighted and I go extremely deep.

    How the hell do you do normal dips on a table? My kitchen table would break for sure..

    I know, who said anything about a table?

    You can do them in the kitchen in the right angle where your kitchen bench wraps around. Not parallel like a proper dips station but it works.

    Also for dips, try cheese and onion or avocado
