Bench Dip with Legs on Bench
The bench dip with the heels up on a second bench; the raised feet put more of the body on the arms.
How to do it
Setup
Hands on one bench behind you, heels on another in front, legs straight.
Steps
- Lower the hips straight down, elbows bending back.
- Keep the legs straight and the heels still.
- Press up to locked elbows.
Common mistakes
Sinking past level: the shoulders take the strain; stop there. Heels pushing into the bench: the legs rest, the arms work. Benches too far apart: set them a leg's length apart.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
