Equipment
Push off your hands to lift your body off the bench, sliding your hips forward so that they are in front of the bench.
Lower your body by bending your elbows until they form a 90-degree angle, keeping your back close to the bench.
Push your body upward by straightening your arms, lifting your body back to the starting position.
Repeat these steps for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Locking Your Elbows**: One common mistake is locking the elbows at the top of the movement. This can put unnecessary strain on your joints and potentially lead to injury. Instead, keep a slight bend in your elbows even at the top of the movement. **Engage Your Core**: Keep your core muscles engaged throughout the exercise. This will provide additional stability and help protect your lower back. **Controlled Movements**: Avoid rushing through the exercise or using momentum to lift your body. Instead, perform each dip slowly and with control, focusing on the muscle contraction and relaxation. This will help to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. **
