HBP/PE9 FORM Check - Korean Dips

hi gb-community,

heres for another korean dip form check. i did them the first time today and managed to do 5x5 sets after a few embarassing attempts with my ass hitting the bar

i am planning to do at least a 4-week-cycle to work on my form. what would you suggest to focus on? two things i noticed: maybe using less momentum (though it feels i am only using my triceps and not much momentum) and working on a straighter body. anything else?

thanks a lot as always!

Keep the legs straight all the time. for the rest it's good.

Very nice,

Show off! :-)

Nice dismount!

I did my first time KD today. It's been a long time I had this much fun in the gym. I was going to upload a form check video but looking at your video I realize I would just embarrass myself  You look strong.

I'm curious, how was it doing those on that barbell? Did it rotate?

Good start. Things to work on:

- Too jerky; focus on controlled, smooth movement.

- Slow the reps down.

Yours in Fitness,

Coach Sommer

thanks a lot coach, will do!

the bar did not rotate that much. you can see the red bands i used to fix it to the other side of the rack. i think that helped a lot.

i filmed a few more sets yesterday. tried to use more strength and slow the reps down. is this the form i should continue to use?
