Get Your 1st Dip (full breakdown)

Welcome to the latest video all about the bodyweight dip exercise!

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to perform the dip exercise correctly and safely, as well as providing some beginner progressions to help you build up to doing a full dip.

Dips are a great compound exercise that work the chest, triceps, and shoulders, making them an excellent addition to any bodyweight training routine. However, they can be quite challenging for beginners, which is why I've put together this guide to help you get started.

In this video, I'll demonstrate the proper form for dips and provide tips on how to avoid common mistakes that can lead to injury. I'll also show you some beginner progressions, such as assisted dips and negative dips, that will help you build the strength and confidence needed to eventually do a full dip.

Whether you're new to bodyweight training or just looking to improve your dipping technique, this video has something for you.

So, grab a chair or a set of parallel bars and join in as we explore the bodyweight dip exercise and its many benefits. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness and exercise tutorials!

Thanks for the good Video, getting off from a long time not working out, due to injures, after a week of trying I can finally get one good dip, one pullup and 12 push ups. I started out with some weight training for a month first just to get some mussels working again. My gold was to be able to get a pullup before my 75 birthday and I did it early so now I am shooting for 20 push ups and 5 pullups and 10 dips. But just over a month to go. I started with doing dips from a chair with my feet out front, think it helps a lot as I have used this method before. It is a bitch getting old up till 65 I was in great shape benching my body weight 3 sets of 12 ( I was 180 Lb. ) and could 60 non stop push ups and 20 dips Pull ups were not so good around 8 on a good day, but in my 40's could do a easy 38 and push to 40, and they were proper pullups where my chin went well over the bar, with my head held straight. At 64 ran a 1/2 marathon, now do not even think I could walk it non stop. I am hoping by summer I will be able to do 60 push ups 20 pullups and 30 or more dips. Watching videos like yours are what keep me going and the ones with the women beating the men at pullups and push ups and dips put a real smile on my face while I am working out.

Love this, great tutorial on the dip! They really are the upper body version of a squat, my pecs/lats/triceps/delts get such a great training effect!
