Instructions

1. Set up a suspension trainer so that the handles are at chest height.

2. Grasp the suspension trainer handles firmly with each hand.

3. Lean forward slightly, engage your core, and keep your elbows close to your body as you start the movement.

4. Push yourself up to the starting position with your arms fully extended, but without locking your elbows. This is the top of the dip movement.

5. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows, allowing them to flare out slightly to target the chest muscles. Keep lowering until your upper arms are parallel to the ground or as low as you can comfortably go. This is the bottom of the dip movement.

6. Using your chest and arm strength, press up to the starting position while still maintaining a forward lean.

7. Make sure to keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum to lift yourself up.

8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Note:<br>- Ensure to perform a proper warm-up before engaging in dips to prepare your muscles and joints.<br>- Adjust the difficulty by taking a step backward (to increase difficulty) or stepping closer (to decrease difficulty) to the suspension trainer anchor point.
