Planche dips are a dips variation that focuses on triceps, shoulder, and wrist muscles for athletes. It is a suitable workout for athletes such as gymnasts.
These should be done on parallel bars to provide enough space to make your body horizontal. Practice the iron cross and one-arm handstand to prepare for this workout.
Often, people hurt one muscle by working it too often. To balance yourself out and give these muscles a break, pair planche dips with rowing movement exercises.
Planche dips have five variations that build the same muscles and prepare you for planche dips.
Straddle open tuck hold
Tuck push back to half straddle
Tuck push back to open tuck planche
Tuck push back to single leg planche
Tuck push back to straddle planche
