Hi Everyone,

I wanted to check in on both form and set up when in the gym for these dips.

Do you recommend this

 

Or this more

 

Or neither :).

Thanks

Nice setup, Ryan! I personally prefer the box variation as it allows you to get into a full 'upper arm' position. However, I recommend facing the wall so that you can keep your hips straight with the knees bent at 90 degrees without your feet hitting the wall. It will also teach you to sit up straight on your dips since you wouldn't want to bash your face on the wall. So far you're doing a nice job of staying straight up and down, but a little extra incentive never hurts ;)
