If you are not in the mood to lift weights and still want solid arms and shoulders, then dip it a bit!

Dips are the perfect bodyweight exercises for your arms and shoulders. They are versatile, and you can do them almost anywhere. No equipment is needed. Just a bench or a chair, and you are good to go!

How to Do it

Sit on the edge of a chair, bench, or a step and grip the edge next to your hips.
Your legs should be extended, and your feet should be hip-width apart with the heels firm on the ground
Press your palms to lift your body, balancing your entire weight on your palms and heels and body forming a straight line
Lower yourself by bending your elbows. Keep the movement controlled and slow
Repeat as many times as you can

Tips on Dips

Keep your shoulders down during triceps dips. Maintaining a long neck throughout will bring the expected results.
Do not Dip too low: putting excessive strain on your shoulders will only cause harm.
