How to perform

Secure a weight plate to a dip belt around your waist. Grip parallel bars, palms facing inward. Straighten arms to lift off the ground, supporting your body weight. Lean slightly forward to engage chest. Lower until upper arms are parallel to the ground. Pause briefly. Extend arms to return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Retract and depress shoulders. Maintain a slight forward lean. Engage your core. Avoid full elbow lockout. Control the descent. Start with lighter weights.
