Location: Back of upper arm

Exercise: Dips

Inventory: Sit on the edge of a hard, stationary chair. Your hands should be grasping the front of the seat on either side of your body.

Movement: Lift your buttocks off the seat by engaging your arms. Lower your buttocks below the seat until your arms are at 90° and then lift yourself up back to the top without locking out your arms. Arms and elbows should be parallel to each other – don’t flare them out to the side.

Proper Form: 

• Mentally concentrate on the muscle(s) being worked
• Pull stomach in and sit up tall
• Breathe in as you lower your body and breathe out as you come back up.
