Dips

Grab the dip handles at the narrowest position as this is safest if you are using the dip machine. Keep the body as straight as possible. Perform a dip by gripping tight and straightening your elbows to lift your body up. You can look straight ahead at the top and look slightly downwards towards the bottom. Keep your core tight and focus on bending the elbows and straightening them to perform repetitions.

Trainer Tip: Full range of motion dips may cause shoulder discomfort or pain if you have bad shoulder mobility. In order to safely perform this exercise, you can limit the range and perform with less range of motion (90° or more bend at the elbow), in order to build these up over time and avoid injury.
