Instructions
Preparation
- Stand between ends of two benches. Place hands on ends of
benches with fingers off ends of benches. Grip should be somewhat
wide.
Position feet out in front with legs straight, heels on floor,
and torso upright.
Execution
- Lower body by bending arms allowing elbows to flare out to
sides. When slight stretch is felt in chest or shoulders push
body up until arms are straight. Repeat.
Comments
- In above clip, hands are positioned at ends of main segments
of benches with fingers between gaps. On standard benches, hands
should be placed near ends of benches. Perform on higher benches
if slight stretch is not felt. Also see Triceps
Dip (between benches).
Easier
- Bend knees to decrease difficulty.
Harder
- Intensity can be added by placing weight lap or performing
Chest Dips on parallel or dip bars.
