The Reverse Dip exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps, shoulders, and chest muscles. It involves using parallel bars or a dip station to support your body weight while lowering and raising yourself from the bars.
How to perform
To perform the Reverse Dip exercise, follow these steps:1. Stand in front of the parallel bars or dip station and grip the bars with your palms facing behind you.
2. Lift yourself off the ground by straightening your arms, keeping your legs extended and your feet crossed.
3. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
4. Lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground or slightly lower.
5. Push yourself back up by straightening your arms, returning to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
To increase the intensity of the Reverse Dip exercise, you can add weight by wearing a weighted vest or placing a weight plate on your lap. It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid strain on your shoulders and elbows.
