How to do it
5 stepsStand between parallel bars and grip them. Jump up or use a step to reach the starting position with your arms straight and your body upright.
Inhale and lower your body by bending your elbows until they reach roughly a right angle. Keep your elbows close to your torso.
Keep your back straight and do not swing your legs or body.
Exhale and push yourself up by straightening your arms and squeezing your triceps.
Repeat for the planned reps.
Going lower than a right angle strains the shoulders. Stop earlier if you feel a pinch at the front of the joint.
To make it easier, use an assisted dip machine or put your feet on a bench and push with them. To make it harder, add a weight belt.
