How to Do
How to Do Chair Dips
The chair dips should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the chair dips.
Beginning
Beginning Chair Dips
1. Make sure your elbows are straight behind you rather than splayed outward.
2. Keep your shoulders neutral and your neck relaxed rather than shrugging them.
3. Straighten your legs and place only your heels on the floor instead of your entire foot to make this exercise more difficult.
Movement
Chair Dips Movement
1. Sit with your arms at your sides and your feet flat on the floor, hip distance apart, in your chair or bench.
2. Place your hands so that the palms of your hands are down beside your hips. The front of the chair seat should be gripped with your fingers.
3. Extend your arms and move your torso forward off the chair. Your buttocks should be slightly bowed and your knees should be hovering over the floor. A few inches in front of your knees, your heels should touch the ground.
4. Inhale deeply as you lower your torso, bending your elbows until they form a 90-degree angle.
5. Exhale as you push yourself up to your starting posture, arms fully extended.
Benefits
Chair Dips Benefits
Because they train the tricep muscles on the back of the upper arms, chair dips are also known as tricep dips. Chair dips, according to some specialists, are the most efficient workout for this muscle. The triceps are vital in everyday movements that need the elbow and forearm to be extended.
