Keep your back close to the bench throughout the exercise. Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement as it can put unnecessary strain on your joints.
• Controlled Movement: One common mistake is rushing through the exercise. Make sure to perform each dip slowly and with control. This will help engage your muscles effectively and prevent injury.
• Engage Your Core: While the focus of bench dips is primarily on your triceps, don't forget to engage your core.
