Steps
- 01
Grip the parallel bars (slightly wider than shoulder-width), jump or step up into a straight-arm support with the shoulders pressed down away from the ears; knees bent with the feet crossed behind or hanging naturally.
- 02
Lean the torso forward about 15–30 degrees, eyes down and forward, core braced so the body does not swing.
- 03
Inhale and lower under control with the elbows travelling back rather than flaring out, until the upper arms are about parallel to the floor and the shoulders sit just below the elbows; stop when you feel a chest stretch, do not force a deeper position.
- 04
Exhale and press back up to the straight-arm support with the chest and triceps; do not shrug or slam the elbows into lockout at the top.
- 05
If you cannot complete reps, use an assisted machine or a band, or start with bench dips; add external load only once 12+ clean reps are easy.
Common mistakes
- Going too deep with the shoulders well below the elbows, over-stretching the front of the shoulder.
- Shrugging at the top with the shoulders rising toward the ears.
- Swinging the body back and forth and using momentum.
- Elbows flaring out wide to the sides.
- Half reps that never reach the parallel position.
