How to: Bench Dip on Stability Ball
- Sit on the edge of a stability ball with your hands resting on the edge, fingers facing forward.
- Slide down until your arms are fully extended and your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
- Push through your palms to return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Letting elbows flare out too much.
- Not lowering the body enough during the dip.
- Focusing on using momentum instead of muscle control.
Modifications
- Perform with legs bent and feet on the ground for reduced load.
- Use a lower surface to make the dip easier.
Tips
- Ensure your elbows are pointing backwards throughout the movement.
- Keep your back close to the ball to maintain stability.
- Engage your core to prevent hip sagging.
