Elbow Dip

The elbow dip is from one of the exercises performed on the parallel bars. Elbow dip works on pectorals (Chest) and triceps when you work out the dip motion. It also works your back and core when dragging back from the leaning position.

This exercise is the foundation of calisthenics training and all the body weight/calisthenics cool actions. So if anybody plans on getting into body-weight workouts, this exercise is the very first step you require to be doing. The elbow dip exercise is a great technique to strengthen your forearms as well as it is an excellent chest and triceps practice for your body weight training routines.
