The dips sound great, but I have a weakness in one wrist and it will just give out without any notice--I have dropped empty glasses because it just went numb. i injured the wrist many years ago and it is just the nature of the injury. The surgery to repair it has a horrible success rate. I just work around it instead. I did find a website with some other tricep exercises and I do have a 7 lb workout bar. I am going to do tricep presses with it, as well. I will increase my hand weights to the twos this week to see if I can build up some strength in the wrist so that I can move to the fives soon, and then the 10s. I do 3-4 sets of 15 reps of all types of arm exercises. I was doing them every day, but will start alternating them. Push ups present the same problem as the dips, but would a wall push up with close placement work, as well? I can do those and do not have to worry about falling and slamming my face into the ground like I would with a regular push up if the wrist gave out.
I do have to say that after just a couple weeks of the arm exercises, I am seeing some difference on the biceps, but there is a lot to go on the triceps. My legs are a completely different story.
I have been sick for almost two weeks and my birthday was over the weekend, so I was kind of lazy about watching what I was eating. I am getting back on track starting today.
