Bench Dips

Bench Dips Instruction

• Stand facing away from a flat bench. 
• Pull your arms back and place your hands on the bench in a prononated position.
• Walk your feet out and brings your legs together. Legs are fully extended.
• Relax your glutes.
• Keeping your center-of-gravity close to the bench, lower your body until your shoulders are fairly aligned with your elbows with your forearms relatively straight.
• Feel your chest and triceps eccentrically loading.
• Extend your elbows and lift yourself to the starting position.

*Tips*

• Do not let your elbows flare excessively or your traps "shrug" on the descent.
• Refrain from descending too low as this will put unnecessary stress on the shoulders and elbows.
