Flex

Chest Dips (Forward Lean)

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Support yourself on the dip bars with arms locked. Lean your torso forward about 30° and let your legs drift back.

Movement

Bend your elbows to lower until your shoulders are just below your elbows, keeping the forward lean. Press back up.

Form Tip

The forward lean is what shifts the work from triceps to chest — hold it the whole rep.

Increase Difficulty

Add weight with a backpack or slow the descent.

Decrease Difficulty

Do partial reps, or use upright Dips to build up first.
