How to do Chest Dip

Chest Exercise Training Workout

Although generally considered a triceps exercise, the Dip can really work the chest well if done properly. Hop up onto two parallel bars with your knees bent behind you and your arms extended but maintaining a slight bend in your elbows at the top of the movement. Rest your chin on your upper chest and kick your knees back even further so your body is leaning forward slightly (this emphasizes the chest opposed to the triceps). Lower your body until your elbows are parallel to the floor. Push yourself back up to the top in a slow, controlled manner keeping your body bent forward.
