Double Dip Bars

(0 reviews)

The dip bars attach to the posts of your cross-training rack. Compatible with our "Competition" range of 8 x 8 cm dimensions, these bars can be placed on an individual rack, a collective rack, or even a cage. This allows you to easily integrate dips into your workouts and strength training sessions. Its 2.0 fixing system provides unmatched safety and stability.

Space-saving. These dip bars are designed to take up minimal space. As removable accessories, they can be easily attached and removed from your rack, and stored conveniently thanks to their dimensions, which are smaller than a traditional dip station.

Made of steel, these dip bars can support heavy loads and are designed to withstand intensive training, even for fitness gyms and affiliated boxes accommodating a multitude of athletes. Each dip bar can support up to 150 kg, allowing for use with additional weights.

Which muscles are used during dips?

The dip exercise is a very popular strength training exercise that targets and strengthens several upper body muscle groups: the triceps, deltoids, and pectorals. It also works on stabilising muscles: the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboids. The dip exercise will also strengthen your grip, forearms, as well as your abdominals, which are engaged to maintain the correct posture.

How to perform a dip?

To perform a dip correctly and safely, grasp the dip bars and position yourself with your arms extended. Keep your torso upright (to target the triceps) or inclined forward (to target the pectorals), cross your legs behind you or keep them slightly bent to stabilise your body. To execute a dip, control the descent by bending the elbows to about 90 degrees for good range during the eccentric phase. For the ascent (concentric phase), push on the bars and contract the targeted muscles to return to the starting position, all while keeping your core engaged and your posture stable. Depending on your circuit and training plan, repeat the exercise.

Are you a beginner? For a scaled version, you can adjust the range of your movement and/or place a resistance band under your knees to help you rise. To increase the intensity of the movement, you can perform the exercise weighted with a weight vest or a weight belt to which you can attach a kettlebell or a bumper, or even place a dumbbell between your feet.

Designed for classic dips, you can also use this accessory for other exercises like tricep extensions or push-ups or reverse push-ups.
