Thread: The Replacements

i was thinking decline dumbell to replace dips but i still need to replace chinups... any ideas?

Close grip pull downs work good

anything with a barbell i can do to workout the delts like chinups do?

military press is the only one that comes to mind

You can do dips by taking to chairs, weighing them down with plates, and then putting a DB between your feet when you dip.

and those will be for chest and not triceps? im not sure i understand. will that be high enough?

do squats without weights 20 reps at a time, just stick your arms out parrellel with the ground...sounds really easy...but do 20 jumps (go from croched position with palms flat on floor to palms flat on the ceiling just above your head), do that 3 times and you'll be fucked.

replacements for squats, chinups, and weighted dips...

Seriously, you might get slapped if you said this to me in person. LOL LOL

Best replacements, IMO:

Squats- Hack or Smith Machine Squats
Chinups- Lat Pulldown and Cable or Bent Rows (watch your form!)
Weight Dips- Flat and Incline Bench Press (DB and/or Bar)

That being said-

Those that have access to the following exercises- USE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! I've seen really good results training people on these exercises alone. Myself included.

Squats should be the backbone of every lower body workout, just as Chins and Dips should carry the brunt of your upper body workout! I cannot stress this enough.
