Technique

How to perform Tuck L-Sit Dip

  1. Grip the parallel bars and press into a straight-arm support position.
  2. Bend your knees and raise your thighs in front of you while keeping your torso upright.
  3. Maintain that tucked shape as you bend your elbows and lower into the dip.
  4. Lower only as far as you can control the shoulders and leg position, with the upper arms approaching horizontal rather than forcing a deeper bottom.
  5. Press through the bars and extend your elbows to return to support.
  6. Keep the knees raised through each repetition, then lower your feet to leave the bars.
