Dip (Chest)
How to do it
- Grip the parallel bars of the dip station and press up to a locked out arm support, leaning the torso forward slightly.
- Cross the ankles and bend the knees to keep the feet clear of the floor.
- Lower the body slowly by bending the elbows, letting the torso lean further forward to load the chest.
- Descend until the shoulders drop just below elbow height.
- Press back up through the chest and triceps to full arm extension.
- Avoid shrugging the shoulders up toward the ears at the bottom position.
