Instructions
1. Approach the dip bars or dip station and grip them tightly with your palms facing inward.
2. Position yourself above the bars with your arms straight, supporting your entire body weight.
3. Lean forward slightly to place more emphasis on the chest muscles.
4. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows until your shoulders are just below your elbows, or as far as comfortable, ensuring you keep your elbows in line with your body and do not flare them outwards.
5. Press back up by extending your arms and returning to the starting position with your arms fully extended.
6. Keep your movements controlled throughout the exercise to maximize muscle tension and minimize the risk of injury.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
8. To increase the difficulty, you can add weight by using a weight belt or holding a dumbbell between your ankles or legs.
