Dips

Preparation

Set both slides slightly above hip height. Set both slides to the highest level 12 or alternatively set both blockers.

Starting position

Stand between the sledges, close to the wall. Grab the back of the horn with both hands (approximately at weight level 12). Push yourself up in a controlled manner until your feet are crossed in the air. Lean forward slightly.

Execution

Bend your arms down in a controlled manner until you feel a stretch in your triceps and chest. As soon as you have reached the lowest point, push yourself up again slowly and in a controlled manner. Maintain a slight forward lean throughout the exercise. Make sure that your wrists remain stable and do not buckle.

Hint

Alternatively, you can also start the exercise from a holding position and only perform the negative (eccentric) movement downwards. At the end, you reach the floor with your feet and can then return to the starting position.

Variants

Warning

This exercise is very demanding and requires both strength and coordination. Therefore, start with more easily adaptable exercises to specifically strengthen your muscles. If necessary, you can get support from a trainer or expert.
