Im guessing im not the only one that will be doing alot of dips with gyms closed. I noticed just about every playground has a piece of apparatus that you can do dips on, im lucky the one near me is very good for dips.
Do you guys consider these more of a tricep or chest exercise>/. My routine I do not work tri and chest in the same day just due to how I divide things up. I have heard in the past you lean forward to hit chest more, and stay more upright to hit triceps more, is this true?
Also, the dip stations at gyms are usually elevated so you can hang a weight from a chain or belt, playgrounds this is not the case. So there is no room. I guess maybe a backpack would work? Do you think it would be better to wear it in the front while you dip, or the way it is designed on your back? I guess an alternative would be to put chains around your neck but you probably cant hang more than 20 or so lbs that way without hurting your neck and the chains themselves aren't heavy. Im guessing Home Depot is closed now too so weights in a backpack may be the only option
