Parallel Bar Dips – Exercise of the Week

Grab hold of the parallel bars on a dip machine and lift yourself up until your arms are fully extended.
Bend your knees and raise them towards your chest so that your hips and knees are bent at 90 degrees.
Keep your abs braces and lean slightly forward.
Gradually lower your body by bending your elbows until there is a 90 degree angle between your upper and lower arm and your upper arm is parallel to the bars.
Pause, and then push yourself back up to the starting position using your chest, triceps and shoulders.
