How to do weighted dips

Coach's Tips

Consider adding resistance with bags and plates, but be mindful of potential elbow strain!

Start Position

1. Position yourself on a dip station, legs extended and feet flat on the ground.

2. Grip the handles of the dip station with arms extended and elbows slightly bent.

3. Place a weight plate on your lap to increase resistance.

Proper Form

1. Gradually bend your arms and lower your body until your upper arms are level with the floor.

2. Keep elbows close to your body and maintain an upright torso during the exercise.

3. After reaching the point where your upper arms are parallel to the ground, push back to the starting point.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale deeply as you lower your body.

2. Exhale while pushing back to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Ensure your torso remains upright and elbows stay close to your sides throughout the exercise.

2. Avoid locking elbows at the top position.

3. Prevent body swinging while executing the movement.
