Bench Dips

- Start in a hovering seated position with your hands on a bench, chair, or solid surface behind you. Your feet will be in front of you with either bent or straight legs.
- Using your triceps, Lower down to where you create a 90 degree angle with your elbows.
- Push back up to the starting position using your triceps.
- Keep your core tight and chest up.
- The further out your feet are, the harder the exercise becomes. So for beginners, I recommend having bent knees with your feet only a little in front of you. We can work our way to getting our feet further out in front of us once we are comfortable with the movement.
- Ideally we want our arms directly behind our shoulders, but shoulder flexibility may hinder that movement for you. If that is true, set your hands wider on the surface behind you.
