Proper Exercise Technique

Grip the dip bars about shoulder width apart and start the movement with your arms fully extended and your body upright. Lower your body until your upper arms are just below parallel to the ground, pause briefly at the bottom, and then drive your body back up until your triceps are fully contracted and locked out.

Tips: Make sure not to grip the bars too wide as this will shift the stress from your triceps to your chest. Also remember to stay upright throughout the movement rather than leaning forward. If you can perform more than 7 reps using your own bodyweight, use a weight belt and dumbbell to add extra resistance.

The Critical Bench Program
This bench press program is a power program designed to help you increase your one rep max by an average of fifty pounds during the ten week training cycle. It is different from other programs because you are provided with the actual weights you will be using on bench day and given a full body lifting split to follow. Over 3500 powerlifters, weekend warriors, and athletes have had success with our system.
