Chest Dip

Description

Chest dips are a great exercise to target your chest, triceps and shoulders. Here is a short guide to perform them correctly:

  1. Grab the parallel bars and lift yourself up until your arms are fully extended.
  2. Lean your torso slightly forward and bend your knees to cross your ankles behind you.
  3. Lower yourself slowly until you feel a stretch in your chest and your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
  4. Push yourself back up to the starting position by squeezing your chest and triceps.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
