How to perform

Step onto dip station, neutral grip on handles. Unlock elbows, lower slowly to forearms near parallel. Control to bottom, drive up through palms to start. Repeat.

Muscles Worked

Pectoralis major

Secondary: Triceps, Front delt

Tips

Upright/elbows close: Triceps focus. Lean forward/elbows wide: Chest focus. Legs straight down, brace glutes/abs for stability. Use box or jump to start if no steps. No head jut; stop short of elbow lockout. Try false grip (thumb over bar) for comfort.
