BENCH DIPS

STARTING POSITION
Sit down on the edge of the flat bench leaning the hands on the bench close to the sides of the pelvis, lean your feet on the bench in front of you and bend the legs (knees)
MOVEMENT
Move the torso out of the bench, bend the elbows until they are aligned with or slightly higher than the shoulders, the straight torso (back) should touch lightly the bench during the lowering and then bring you back.
GOAL
The exercise involves the whole triceps.
BREATHING
Breathe in during the lowering, breathe out during the return phase.
TIPS
The exercise is easy and fit in particular for beginners or overweight people, the last ones can lean the feet on the ground, in this way the exercise is easier and safer, paying attention not to distance the back from the flat bench during the lowering. This exercise is fit for the warming up of the trained athletes.
MISTAKES
Do not distance the back from the flat bench, in this way the shoulders are not protected anymore and you can cause injuries if you fall down.
