HI George i have some tips for you:

-in order to prepare the sternum region for more advanced variations, I suggest holding the elbows together

-do not anteriorly tilt the shoulder

-more depth it is recommended.

@Alessandro Mainente what do you mean 'anteriorly tilt the shoulder'?

Alessandro Mainente

the opposite of posterior pelvic tilt or "PPT" that means squeeze your butt so that the body it is a straight line.

Hi @George Traganidas 235308,

Looking good on those dips. If you can go lower then it will help you better in the more advanced progressions like Korean Dips. :)

Leo, thanks for your feedback. That is as low as I can go at the moment, because my shoulder mobility is lacking. When I am at the bottom position, I can feel the front of my shoulders pull quite a bit. At the same time, I am working through the Thoracic Bridge Stretch series, so hopefully in 6-12 months I will be able to do full dips.

Hi @George Traganidas 235308,

Nice. As you progress with your thoracic bridge stretch, the better your dips will be. :)
