Chest Dip

Starting position

• Support yourself on the parallel bars, arms straight, shoulders down.
• Lean the upper body slightly forward, legs bent.

Execution

• Lower by bending the elbows until the chest is stretched; the upper body stays leaned forward.
• Push up powerfully until the arms are almost straight.
• More weight: dip belt; easier: dip machine.

Common mistakes

• Too deep, which strains the shoulders.
• Shrugging the shoulders to the ears.
• Swinging the legs.
