Home Training Chest Vince Gironda Dips
Vince Gironda Dips

Wide Grip Dips 

For those of you who are not familiar with this exercise I will explain it as Vince Gironda describes in his course "The Vince Gironda Workout Bulletin."

(IronMan Magazine Jan 1977 Vol. 36 No. 2)

Vince Gironda Dips

Use a parallel bar set up which permits you to have a spacing of 33" wide. Remember that the elbows must be wide and straight out from the shoulders. The head is down chin on chest and the back rounded forward. The feet are under the face or slightly in front. Dip as far down as possible and return as high as you can.

Gironda Dips

Never change this position as this isolates the pectoral muscle and does not bring the triceps into play as in the elbows back style.

Best pec excercise!
Results even in UPPER pec area!
Hard to find V-DipBars,
but have a home made set.

If I could have only one exercise in my life for chest, this would be it.

What angle should there be between the V bars ? There is no information on the picture. I see it has to be 32" wide but there is no information about the angle. Should it be 30 degree angle? I don't want to hurt myself.

Some times I go even wider... close to 35" I like how it hits my chest, but I can't do as many then.

I think you can go from 25-30° minimum up to 45°.
I've done some prototypes in wood and those angles feels alright.

Sweet range of motion - great exercise!

As NEED is the Mother of invention, I used my spotter stands at a 33" spacing and angled to get my elbows out to the front/flat.

Once sorted with spacing an trial & error with the height etc, I went around the base with my marker pen to give an outline for next time.

Works EVERYTIME now and no new kit needed!

woohoo
