Technique

How to perform Dip Negative

1. Use parallel bars that allow your feet to reach the floor at the end of the descent, and establish a controlled top support with your elbows extended.
2. Keep your legs quiet and your shoulder position controlled.
3. Bend your elbows to lower your body steadily through the depth you can actively control.
4. Place your feet on the floor before you lose control of the descent.
5. Use your legs to help return to the top support instead of completing a bodyweight press upward.
6. Reset your support before repeating the negative.
