Dip

Intermediate Body Only ChestShouldersTriceps

How to do it

  1. Hold yourself at arms length above the dip bars with your arms nearly locked. Keep your body as vertical as possible to emphasize the triceps, or lean forward slightly to target the chest. This will be your starting position.
  2. As you breathe in, slowly lower your body by bending at the elbows. Lower yourself until there is a 90-degree angle formed between the upper arm and the forearm. Tip: Keep your elbows close to your body for triceps emphasis or allow them to flare slightly for chest emphasis.
  3. As you exhale, push your body back up to the starting position using your triceps and chest to bring your body back up.
  4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
