Technique & Tips

Find parallel bars or sturdy dip bars at shoulder width apart. Grip the bars firmly and hoist yourself up, locking your elbows. Lean your chest and head forward while lowering your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground or slightly below. Keep your elbows vertically in line with your wrists, your shoulders set down and back to avoid shrugging, and your arms squeezed tightly into your sides. Lower yourself slowly with control and good technique. Aim for 3 to 5 seconds on the way down. Once you have dipped to 90 degrees or lower, safely drop out of the dip position. Repeat for your target number of reps.

How To Progress

Repeat this movement 2-3 times per week. Perform 3 sets of your target reps. Each week improve your form, making it more strict while aiming to add 1 or more reps until you have completed the "Boss" level. Once you have completed the "Boss" level with good form, we recommend you move on to the next exercise. Come back at any time and attempt to master this exercise.

Caution

Dips can be physically demanding and may pose a risk of shoulder or elbow injuries if not performed with proper technique and control; consult with a fitness professional for guidance and ensure gradual progression to avoid overloading the joints.
