February’s Exercise of the Month
Bench Dips for the Triceps is February’s focus. I like bench dips because you are forced to use your own body weight for resistance. Compound movements such as bench dips, push ups, pull ups and squats are great to train with because they increase total core strength and stability.
To perform the bench dip position yourself between to benches your palms should be flat on the bench fingers facing forward, the bench opposite of you should be placed so that just your heels are resting on the edge. From here lower your body down so that you have a 90 degree bend in your elbows then push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening the elbow and repeat.
Beginners – May want to start out with just one bench to build up strength.To perform – leave your feet flat on the ground with your knees bent at 90 degrees then follow the same movement as above. Make sure to keep your back straight and butt close to the bench
