PPD stands for Push-Ups, Pull-Ups, and Dips — three foundational bodyweight movements that build raw, functional strength. Mastering these exercises is essential for anyone looking to develop true upper-body control and athleticism. Push-ups strengthen the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core while improving stability. Pull-ups test your back, biceps, and grip, making them one of the most effective measures of upper-body power. Dips target the triceps and lower chest, helping carve out definition and size. Together, these movements create a strong, balanced physique without the need for machines or heavy equipment. When you can control your body through these basics, you’ve built a foundation strong enough to take on anything.
