@big D: I’m having a similar problem, finding a good dip machine for home – as it is, I’m essentially having to omit dips from my home workouts. Let me know if you find anything that works for you!

Hi, i love doing the dips at the gym but was wondering where you can buy a decent dip machine to use at home ?

That’s a good idea Andy. In the context of Cindy I would imagine that dips are harder than press-ups as well.

I like to substitute dips for other pressing exercises in some Crossfit routines. For example “Cindy” is agreat one: 5 pullups, 10 dips, 15 squats – max rounds in 20 minutes! Keeps the variety going!

@ markus: I definitely agree about getting them young. Kids are so strong and agile.

@ tentigers: I don’t remember superstars but then I’m not a great telly person. I didn’t even watch Gladiators the first time round.

dips are a great upper body exercise, if you superset them with chinups/pullups, that a good upper body blast in two exercises!

do you remember ‘superstars’ on bbc, when they had the gym tests and the dips was the won to win! Brian Jacks was the boy! (or am i showing my age there!!)

Darn good exercise. Love dips for hitting the upper body.
