Common questions
What can I do instead of the Weighted Bench Dip?
The closest substitutes are the Body-Up, Handstand and Ring Dips. Each trains the triceps as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Weighted Bench Dip programming.
Is there a bodyweight alternative to the Weighted Bench Dip?
Yes — the Body-Up trains the triceps with no added weight. Progress by adding reps, slowing the tempo, or adjusting leverage.
Can I just rotate these with the Weighted Bench Dip?
Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the triceps first.
