#2 Dips

Bench and upright dip are the two dips that you can do. The dip exercise is an efficient one which targets your triceps completely but it also strengthens your chest and shoulder fronts.

Instructions:

Step 1: You can use dip bars or a bench or chair to place your palms on it. Stand with your back facing the bench and then hold on to the edge.

Step 2: Rest your heel on the ground with knees bent and arms straight and hips close to the chair. This is the part where you lift on your hands.

Step 3: Now lower down and bend your elbows until they are at 90 degrees. Do not let your back take the support of the chair.

Step 4: Push back to the starting position with your elbows pointing behind you throughout and continue the cycle.

Important Tips: Do 3-4 sets of 15 reps each. You can extend the legs on the floor or you can put your legs on another chair of the same height instead of bending it to make the exercise a little harder. Avoid this exercise if you feel pain in the shoulders.
