Common questions

What can I do instead of the Weighted Three Bench Dips?

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 Three Bench Dips programming.

Is there a bodyweight alternative to the Weighted Three Bench Dips?

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 Three Bench Dips?

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.
