Exercise – Floor Dips

We get asked all the time – how can I incorporate more dips? The Floor Dip can be practiced on any flat surface without any equipment strengthening your triceps and shoulders. The exercise also serves as a beginner-friendly entry to unlocking L-sit, Korean dip, or power crab crawl progressions.

Sit on the floor with your feet in front of you. Both of your palms will come down to the floor by your hips. Extend the arms to lift the glutes off the ground. Ensure that your elbows are properly hinging back by keeping them close to your sides as you lower. Quick tip – keep the palms right under your center to make this exercise easier.

Anterior and posterior hand placement will subject different loads onto your upper arms and shoulders. If you’re looking to make some real gains towards vertical pushing, you’ll have to work towards getting off the floor.
