Chest dips are a great exercise to target your chest, triceps and shoulders. Here is a short guide to perform them correctly:
- Grab the parallel bars and lift yourself up until your arms are fully extended.
- Lean your torso slightly forward and bend your knees to cross your ankles behind you.
- Lower yourself slowly until you feel a stretch in your chest and your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
- Push yourself back up to the starting position by squeezing your chest and triceps.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
