HBP PE11 Russian dip

When I lower down my hands are sliding over the side of the bars - even with chalk. 

This is my attempt, its not very good.

I've added another video to explain what I mean about my hands sliding over the bar during the dip.

that's quite common....ideally the part of the palms right under the thumb is the last that remains in place. notice that in case of excessive shoulder relaxation or backward movement the grip can became even harder to be held.

I've been practicing with a resistance band. I'm able to get out of the bottom position back to the top, so that's progress for me.

I can see I need more practice to lower into the right position.

i love it! nice work

Thanks! I will keep going ...

I did a russian dip!

I had to readjust my hands and I think I'm leaning back too much....but I can do a rep! Yes!

(My feet are out of sight but I can say I do not touch the floor with my feet).

consider that with the normal execution a bit of momentum helps...btw i prfer you to nor reverse the mvement until the negative phase leads you to the proper bottom position..

OK I'll keep practicing the negatives.

Practising the negatives is working and is very helpful. How's my form looking?
