Dips

Target: Triceps, chest, shoulders

Form tips:

• To look after your shoulders, maintain a slight forward lean – don't swing up to an upright torso position as you rise.
• Elbows as close to your body as possible.
• Focus on feeling the squeeze in the back of your arms as they lock out.

Modification – Barbell close-grip bench press:

• If you can't access dip bars, a close-grip bench press is a good tricep focused alternative.
