Overview

Bench Dips on Floor is a triceps-centered move where you lower and lift your body with your arms while your legs stay extended on the floor. It works the triceps, shoulders, and chest, so it is an efficient way to develop strength and endurance.

Form tips & common mistakes

Keep your back close to the bench

so your body stays properly aligned.

Lower yourself in a controlled manner

to reduce unnecessary stress on the shoulders.

Engage your core

to stay stable through the entire movement.

Do not lock out your elbows

at the top of the movement.

Breathe properly

by inhaling as you lower and exhaling as you press back up.

Benefits

No Equipment Needed: Bench dips require only a stable surface, making them a convenient bodyweight exercise.

Enhances Functional Fitness: Dips copy real-world pushing patterns, which can improve arm endurance and mobility.
