Dumbbell Bench Dip with Legs Elevated
The heaviest bench dip: heels up on a second bench and a dumbbell across the thighs.
How to do it
Setup
Hands on one bench, heels on another, legs straight, a dumbbell across the thighs.
Steps
- Lower the hips between the benches by bending the elbows.
- Keep the legs straight so the bell stays put.
- Press back to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Hips swinging forward under the load: drop them straight down by the bench. Bell sliding off: place it near the hips before each set. Rushing the bottom: pause before the press.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
