Follow these steps to perform a bench dip with proper form:
- Sit down on a bench, hands next to your thighs. (You can also perform a bench dip off a stair or other elevated surface; the same steps apply.)
- Walk your feet out and extend your legs, lifting your bottom off the bench and holding there with extended arms.
- Hinging at the elbow, lower your body down as far as you can go, or until your arms form a 90-degree angle.
- Push up through your palms back to start.
