There should be a slight bend in your elbow (not hyper-extended) at the top not locked as the video shows. Just sayin.

@parksinn Yes it is...Don't forget, this a wide grip dip.

@Fjerid to not lock it

@gr33ndestLny its all where you position the elbows. if you have your elbows pointed back its more triceps/anterior delt. of you have your elbows out to the side its more chest

People need to also know that you should retract your scapulas in order to avoid shoulder injury during this exercise.

If you didn't understand that, it means bring your shoulders back and down so that your shouldersblades are being contracted towards each other.

@superpavian Do you evel lift? (srs)

[SuperPavian]

Wide push ups is much better !

@gr33ndestLny The more you lean forward the more it's a chest workout and the more you lean back, preferbly just straight, the more it's a tricep workout.

[gr33ndestLny]

isn't this more triceps?

@Fjerid I only lock the last one of the set. I can feel a slight buckle if I lock each rep... I do a lot of dips.

[Fjerid]

He's locking his elbows. I have heard so many times to NOT lock them. What one is right?
