Parallel Bar a high intensity Exercise that is among the best for building the Triceps. This movement may be difficult for those new to Gym as pressing the full weight of one’s body may be difficult. Some Gyms may have Seated Tricep Dip machines that allow the user to choose the amount of weight to add while still performing the same movement. Also, some Gyms may offer a Pullup/Dip machine which allows for an assisting weight to press the knees upward and allow the user to vary the weight of the dip. Okay lets get started.
The Exercise Process::
Starting Position :: Begin this Exercise by standing on the step at the bottom of the bars. Grasp each bar with a firm grip, the palms facing inward. Jump up to the starting position with the Arms fully extended.
Process :: Inhale and bend the Elbows and slowly move the body downward as far as comfortably possible, hold for a brief second at the bottom and then exhale and press with full force to move your body upward again until your arms return to the fully extended position.
Tips :: Use a comfortable range of motion. You don't need to lower as low as possible. Bend your Elbows and Shoulders to about 90 degrees.
Again, if dips are too difficult, try building up your strength with other Exercises like Bench Dips or the Dip assist machine.
Here is the Video Clips For You...
Some bars will angle outward allowing you to experiment with different grip widths. Try different widths on the bar to work the Triceps in slightly different ways. Also, special weight Lifting Belts are available to hang extra weight from your waist using a chain or a rope. Use these as you build strength and when your body weight no longer provides enough resistance to push your Triceps to new strength levels.

The Parallel bar dips are my favorite as they give an impetus to the whole body in terms of fitness and agility.
very good technique and yes it can be done with almost any exercise or muscle group.. but take care this will overtrain the heck out of you.. you should have pointed this out.. it should be done just every once in a while..
