Exercise of the month - Dips

Aim: increase the number of unbroken reps per set over the month , or reduce the resistance of the band being used.

 

Movement standards: Start at the top of the dip bars with arms straight and elbows locked. Bend at the elbows to lower the body until the elbows are in a higher position than the shoulders. Return to the top position by extending the arms once more. 

⁠there should be no hip hinge in this movement. 

 

Movement standards with an elastic band: The band should be placed around both arms of the dips bar. Knees are then placed in the band and the same movement standards apply as in the bodyweight version.
