Push-Up and Triceps Dip on Parallel Bars
A push-up on low parallel bars, then the legs swing through between the bars to a seated dip and back: two presses in one rep.
How to do it
Setup
Low parallel bars set wider than the hips, hands on them, push-up plank.
Steps
- Do a push-up, chest lowered between the bars.
- Tuck the knees and swing the legs forward through the bars, heels to the floor.
- Dip: elbows straight back, hips close to the bars, then press up.
- Swing the legs back through to the plank for the next rep.
Common mistakes
Bars too narrow for the legs to pass: set them wider than the hips first. Rushing the swing and landing hard: pass the legs through slowly, heels down softly. Hips drifting away from the bars in the dip: keep them close.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale on each press.
