Grab the bars of a dip station and lift yourself up so your arms are fully extended. Bend your hips and knees 90 degrees and hold that position for the entire movement. Bend your elbows, and slowly lower your body until your upper arms are nearly parallel with the floor. Pause, then push yourself back up. Now dip it, Dip it good.
