Dip

Pressing Strength

WHAT IS IT

The Dip lowers and presses the body between two bars or rings. It builds the chest, shoulder and triceps strength that shows up in every push-up, burpee and floor press.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Support yourself on the bars or rings with the arms locked and the shoulders down.
  2. 2Lean the chest slightly forward and bend the elbows to lower.
  3. 3Go down until the upper arms are about parallel to the floor.
  4. 4Press back up to a full lockout without swinging.
  5. 5Keep the core tight and the legs still through every rep.
