Ring Dip

Ring Dip

The ring dip is a body weight exercise that develops strength and stability in the triceps and chest. This exercise requires a set of rings to perform. It is more difficult than a standard Dip because the rings are free to move in all directions and you have to work harder to stabilize them.
