Dips With Chair, Bent Legs

Starting Position

• sit down at the end of the seat area of a solid chair or something comparable
• grasp the edge of the seat area next to your bottom with both hands
• the backs of your hands are turned forwards
• keep your back straight as you stretch your arms almost fully and let your bottom leave the seat area
• your knees are angled to 90 degrees
• place the feet soles a bit further ahead in front of the seat and completely on the ground
• the feet are hip-width apart

Correct Execution

• let your body sink down to the ground slowly by bending your arms
• the upper arms are nearly parallel to the ground then
• do not touch the ground, rather bring the body back up again in a controlled motion
• try to keep your back straight and stay close to the additive
• your sight is always turned straight ahead
• do not let the elbows wander outwards too much
• stop the movement when there still is a little bending in the arms
• repeat this exercise several times
