Common Mistakes
Insufficient Depth
Failing to lower the body until the shoulders are below the elbows significantly reduces the triceps and chest activation, limiting the exercise's effectiveness. This often occurs due to lack of strength or poor mobility.
Flared Elbows
Allowing the elbows to flare out wide during the dip places excessive stress on the shoulder joints and reduces triceps engagement. This can lead to shoulder impingement or pain over time.
Excessive Forward Lean
Leaning too far forward shifts the emphasis predominantly to the chest, reducing triceps activation. While a slight forward lean is natural for chest dips, an exaggerated lean can strain the shoulders.
