Description

Dips are a bodyweight exercise that are excellent for stimulating the chest as well as the triceps. The bent-over version focuses on the lower chest.
The Gravitron device uses a counterweight to help you perform the dips. It is suitable for beginners who find it difficult to perform dips at first.

Stay in the lowest position for a second.

From the lowest position, push yourself back up from the elbow to the starting position. Exhale as you do so.
