Adding Weight To Dips?

burgels Posts: 32 Joined: 2006/10/25	2007/03/27, 03:32 PM I do parallel bar dips a lot in my workouts and for whatever reason they are pretty easy for me. What is the best way to add weight? I could hold a medicine ball between my feet but the heaviest one we have is 8lbs.

Can pick 'em up just about anywhere. t -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.

Another way I used to do when I belonged to a gym that did not have one was set a dumbbell on the platform. Cross your feet around the dumbbell, and do your dips. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
