Why Choose GORNATION Dip Bars?
The GORNATION Dip Bars are crafted with precision to provide stability and support during intense workouts. Their robust design ensures safety and effectiveness, making them ideal for both beginners and advanced athletes. With these dip bars, you can perform a variety of exercises that target multiple muscle groups, enhancing your overall fitness.
7 Key Push Exercises for the Core and Upper Body
1. Dips
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps.
Dips are a fundamental exercise for building upper body strength. Position yourself between the dip bars, lower your body until your elbows form a 90-degree angle, and push back up. For added stability and wrist protection, consider using Wrist Wraps.
2. Weighted Dips
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps.
Increase the intensity of your dips by incorporating a Weight Vest. This variation challenges your muscles further, promoting greater strength and muscle gains.
3. Beginner Pushups
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Core.
For those new to calisthenics, pushups on the dip bars can be an excellent starting point. Place your hands on the bars and perform pushups with a full range of motion, engaging your core throughout the exercise.

4. Tuck Planche Pushups
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Core.
Tuck planche pushups are an advanced exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, and core. Start in a tuck planche position and perform pushups while maintaining the tuck. This exercise requires significant strength and balance.
5. Straight Bar Dips
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps.
Straight bar dips focus on the chest and triceps. Use the dip bars to perform dips with a narrower grip, emphasizing the triceps. This exercise is excellent for building upper body strength and muscle definition.
6. Tricep Extensions
Muscles Targeted: Triceps.
Tricep extensions on the dip bars are perfect for isolating and strengthening the triceps. Position yourself with your back to the dip bars, extend your arms, and lower your body until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, then push back up.
7. Planche and Regressions
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Core.
The planche is a challenging move that requires immense strength and balance. Begin with regressions such as the tuck planche or advanced tuck planche to build the necessary strength. Gradually progress to the full planche for maximum core and upper body engagement.
