Dips are versatile exercises for building upper-body strength. Your grip width determines which muscles take center stage.
Switching between a narrow or wide grip empowers you to customize the movement to align with your training goals.
🔴 Narrow-Grip Dips (Triceps Dips)
👉 Hands at shoulder-width
👉 Torso stays upright
🔎 Focuses on triceps activation, emphasizing elbow movement for a vertical body path
🔵 Wide-Grip Dips (Chest Dips)
👉 Hands wider than shoulder-width
👉 Hips move back with a slight forward lean
🔎 Focuses on chest engagement, utilizing more shoulder movement to activate the pectorals
✅ Both variations strengthen the chest, triceps, and shoulders, but grip width defines the emphasis.
