Dips Between Chairs

The dip done between two sturdy chairs instead of parallel bars; bending the knees lets the body sink between them.

How to do it

Setup

Two sturdy chairs a shoulder-width apart, a hand on top of each backrest, arms straight, knees bent.

Steps

  1. Bend the elbows and sink between the chairs, chest leaning forward.
  2. Go down only until the elbows are bent to about 90°.
  3. Press back up to straight arms, knees still bent.

Common mistakes

Chairs that wobble or slide: test them before the first rep, on a floor that does not slip. Dipping too deep: the shoulders take it; stop near 90° at the elbows. Kicking the legs to get up: keep them still.

Breathing

Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
