How to: Three Bench Dip
- Sit on the edge of a bench with your hands next to your hips.
- Extend your legs in front of you or keep them bent for easier modification.
- Lower your body by bending your elbows to about a 90-degree angle.
- Push back up to the starting position using your triceps.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the elbows flare out excessively.
- Dropping the body too low, risking shoulder injury.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movement.
Modifications
