Chest Dips


Chest Dips – Parallel Bar / Machine / Assisted

At the top

    Exercise Specific:

  • lean forward with chest up, abs contracted, knees bent and slightly in front
  • keep shoulders as well as elbows pulled back / scapula retracted (no internal / external rotation of the shoulders throughout)
  • squeeze hands inwards / toward each other from start to finish (‘intent’)
  • when descending, ensure shoulders are pulled-back
  • come down and get a good stretch at the bottom – aim to form a 90º angle between triceps and elbows
  • from the bottom, pause and contract the pecs before beginning the ascent
  • when reaching the top, avoid locking shoulders – instead keep squeezing the hands towards each other.
