Perfect Dip Technique
Dips are a powerful compound exercise that primarily targets your triceps and chest while also engaging your shoulders and core. This bodyweight exercise builds impressive upper body strength and muscular endurance. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures safe progression and optimal form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Grip parallel bars or stable surface, arms fully extended, body upright
- Initial Descent: Slowly lower your body by bending elbows, keeping them close to your sides
- Bottom Position: Descend until shoulders are slightly below elbows or comfortable range
- Press Up: Push through your palms to return to starting position, maintaining control
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Flaring elbows too wide (shoulder stress)
- Descending too quickly without control
- Leaning too far forward (excessive chest emphasis)
- Not achieving adequate range of motion
- Using momentum instead of controlled movement
