Yea that looks right. However you are unlikely to find a decent place to dips in your local park or paying field so I do an easier version where you put your feet on the ground and hands on a bench and keeping straight legs go up and down.

Like this.

No sorry, it is actually illegal to do dips on a public bench.

If you frequent a gym, it's a good place to do the dips James mentioned above. I drag up two benches, feet on one and arms on the other, then a bit of weight on the lap for added resistance. I personally find it does more than normal dips, but there you go. ;)

Just putting this back near the top as I thought some of the new members might like a gander. I received a fair few PM's saying people were enjoying the circuit so for all the newbies - take a look.
