How to: Planche Dip on Parallel Bars
- Grasp the parallel bars with your hands shoulder-width apart.
- Lift your body up until your arms are straight.
- Lower your body by bending your elbows until they are at a 90-degree angle.
- Push back up to the starting position, keeping your core tight.
Common Mistakes
- Not going low enough where the elbows should ideally be at a 90-degree angle.
- Swaying the body instead of keeping it upright and controlled.
- Letting the elbows flare out too much.
Modifications
- Perform the dip with a narrower grip to reduce strain.
- Use a resistance band for assistance if unable to lift body weight.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement to maintain balance.
- Keep your elbows tucked close to your body to avoid unnecessary strain.
- Focus on controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
