Default ABBH - Dips
Hello,
I am about to start the ABBH program after just finishing BBB, my only problem is I don't have access to a dipping station so need something to replace that exercise with. Am I right in thinking that the dips he means are the chest version so dips off a bench won't be any good?
Any advice on which exercise would be best to swap for dips? Just incase anyone doesn't know it I have posted the routine below.

Day 1 (80% of 1RM)
Flat BB Bench Presses
BB Rows
Day 3 (60% of 1RM)
BB Front Squats
Hanging Pikes
Standing Calf Raises
Day 5 (60% of 1RM)
Dips
Chin-Ups
Day 7 (80% of 1RM)
Deadlifts
Seated Calf Raises
Decline Sit-Ups

Cheers,
Dan

DB Decline Bench Press with your palms facing in.

Thanks for the reply, I'll do that then. Could I just confirm that the chin-ups on day 5 are underhand grip rather than the overhand grip that targets your back more?

Cheers,
Dan

You can do dips between two kitchen or folding chairs. Make sure they are stable first.

yeah, they are underhand grip. Don't worry, your back will get hit plenty.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm pretty much sorted now, I'm just in 2 minds about whether I should replace the dips with shoulder press or decline with palms facing in?

Any reccomendations?

Cheers,
Dan

What equipment do you have? I have a power rack, and I just rest the barbell, and another bar on the safety pins at a reasonable height.

Another option is the narrow grip press, flat or decline. Hits the same muscle grouping as dips. I use a grip width of 12"-14".
