How to do it

Lower yourself to where your upper arms reach parallel to the floor.

  1. 1

    Grip the suspension handles and lift your body off the ground.

  2. 2

    Lower your body by bending your elbows, leaning your torso slightly forward.

  3. 3

    Push back up to the starting position, focusing on using your chest muscles.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Lean slightly forward during the dip to place more emphasis on the chest rather than the triceps.
