⚠️ Most common mistake: Letting the elbows flare out to the sides, which loads the front shoulders instead of the triceps. Letting the shoulders shrug up toward the ears, which strains the front shoulders under the dip. Cutting the depth short to make the reps easier, which removes most of the triceps work. Using only the legs to push off the floor, which turns the dip into an assisted leg-press motion.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Triceps.
