Setup

Support your body weight on the parallel bars of a dip station. Keep your arms straight and shoulders back.

Movement

Lower your body by bending your elbows until your shoulders are slightly below your elbows. Push back up to the starting position.

Form Tip

To target the chest, lean your torso forward. To target the triceps, stay as upright as possible. Keep your elbows tucked.

Increase Difficulty

Add weight using a dipping belt or hold a dumbbell between your feet.

Decrease Difficulty

Use a resistance band for assistance, or jump to the top and lower yourself slowly.
