Rogue athlete Arielle Loewen demonstrates proper form for dips off a bench in this quick and simple movement demo from Rogue HQ.
The bodyweight dip is a classic gymnastics pressing movement that builds upper body strength, and is a foundational movement to learning more complex gymnastic movements such as key ring dips and muscle-ups

It develops pushing strength through the triceps, chest, and shoulders, and is an essential upper body strength movement that requires minimal equipment.
Benefits
- Builds pressing power in chest, triceps, and anterior delts.
- Foundational movement to build toward ring dips and muscle-ups.
- Build joint health and stability by improving range of motion and strengthening the connective tissue around shoulders and elbows (when progressed safely).
- Mini...
