Parallel Bar Dip

A bodyweight exercise targeting the chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Instructions

• Grasp the parallel bars and lift your body off the ground.
• Lean forward slightly and lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
• Press back up to the starting position, extending your arms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not leaning forward enough, which reduces chest activation.
• Allowing the elbows to flare out too much.
• Not lowering the body until the upper arms are parallel to the ground.
