All About The Dip

An effective/efficient push press, and more specifically in our workout today the dumbbell push press, depends greatly on the positioning of the dip. It is crucial to make sure the dip is into the heels, with the chest in the same vertical position it started. It proves to be more difficult to hit that position for most people with a narrow stance. Moving your feet a little wider, more to a squat stance, makes it easier to hit that correct dip position, without losing any potential force development through the legs. Check out this video showing proper and improper dip movements. Workout:
