Tricep dips on V-bars - possible?

[danish424]

Is it even possible to do strict tricep dips on v-bars? I don't have access to parallel bars anymore and using the v seems awkward as my elbows flare out even if if my arms are only shoulder width apart. Seems that the v bars hit the chest hard no matter what.

I've always used v bars with good results, just use the most narrow part of the bars and concentrate on keeping your elbows in (dont stress if they flare somewhat though). If you lean forward or use a wider part of the bars, the chest comes more into play. So stick with the narrow and concentrate on keeping your head up
