How to Do:

1. Setup Position yourself between parallel bars, gripping each bar firmly with your palms facing inward. Straighten your arms and lift your body so your feet are off the ground.
2. Starting Position Engage your core and slightly lean forward to emphasise the chest muscles. Keep your shoulders down and avoid shrugging.
3. Lower Down Bend your elbows to slowly lower your body until your shoulders are slightly below your elbows. Maintain control and avoid swinging or dropping abruptly.
4. Push Up Press through your palms to straighten your arms and return to the starting position. Focus on contracting your chest, triceps, and shoulders as you push upward.
5. Repetitions and Sets Perform the desired number of repetitions, ensuring steady and controlled movement throughout.

Benefits:

Parallel Bar Dips are a versatile compound exercise that primarily targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders. This movement helps build upper body strength and improve shoulder stability. By leaning slightly forward, you can emphasise the chest muscles, making it an effective addition to a chest-focused workout routine.
