How to: Suspender Chest Dip
- Hold the suspension straps with your arms straight down at your sides.

- Lower until you feel a stretch in your chest.
- Push back up through your hands to return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes

Modifications
- Use a lower suspension point to reduce the difficulty.

Tips
- Ensure your body is straight and lower yourself using your arms, keeping your elbows tucked in.
- Maintain control when pushing yourself back up to avoid swinging.
