Dips (Chest Focus)

Emphasize your chest with this classic compound movement.

By leaning forward and flaring the elbows slightly, this variation of dips recruits more chest fibers while still involving shoulders and arms. It’s a valuable tool for building size and control.

Instructions

  1. Begin with arms extended at the top of the dip position.
  2. Lean your torso forward about 30 degrees and slightly flare your elbows.
  3. Lower yourself slowly until you feel a stretch across your chest.
  4. Press back up using your chest, locking out without losing posture.
  5. Pause and repeat for the desired reps.
