Dips

Lower chest

CompoundTargets: Lower chest

About

This is a bodyweight workout targetting chest. Depending on the position, you can target different areas of chest. Due to a high risk of injury, I recommend using a assist machine or a band!

How to Dips

Starting Position

1. Please grip with both hands and lift your body.

2. Please lower your shoulders to keep them from shrugging.

3. Cross your legs naturally and send them back.

Proper Form

1. Please slowly lower down while keeping your shoulders fixed down.

2. If you go down too much, you might injure your shoulders, so please gradually increase your range of motion.

3. Return to the starting position while engaging your core.

Breathing Technique

Inhale while bending your arms, and exhale while pushing your arms.

Precautions

1. If you are significantly overweight, it may put strain on your shoulders, so please substitute with other exercises.

2. Be careful not to go down too much, as it can injure your shoulders.
