Chest Dip
Dip with the torso leaning forward and the elbows flaring slightly; the lean moves the load from the triceps to the chest.
How to do it
Setup
On the bars, torso LEANED forward, chin tucked, legs back.
Steps
- Lower with the elbows flaring slightly out.
- Feel the chest stretch at the bottom.
- Press up keeping the forward lean.
Common mistakes
Standing upright mid-set: the lean IS what makes it chest; keep it. Diving too deep: the front shoulder pays; stretch, not strain. Chin up: tucked keeps the lean.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale on the press.
