You will need a dip belt with chain to add a dumbbell or plates to. If you do not have one it is possible to hold lighter dumbbells between your legs. You will need assistance in positioning a dumbbell. Position your body at arms length on the dip bars. If your dip bars allow for changes in grip width try to use an initial shoulder width position. Bend your legs so that your bodyweight is supported by your upper body muscles. Lean forward slightly as you lower your body down as far as is comfortable or until your upper arms are slightly below perpendicular to the ground. Exhale and press yourself back up to the start position. Try not swing or rotate your legs. The less leg and torso movement the better.
