How to: Korean dips
- Start by positioning yourself on the dip bars, holding your body weight above the ground.

- Push through your palms to raise your body back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Letting shoulders rise up towards your ears.
- Not going low enough in the dip.
- Using excessive momentum instead of controlled movement.
Modifications
- Perform with knees bent to reduce body weight.
- Use a resistance band for assistance.
Tips
- Ensure your elbows are pointed back rather than flaring out.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Control your descent to avoid dropping too quickly.
