Alright so one of my followers sent me this video of him doing dips, and I asked if I could use it in a video to demonstrate a really common mistake that people make, and that is going too far down, not controlling the eccentric, and keeping your body too upright. As you can see at the bottom of the rep, his shoulders are rolled forward and shrugged up very close to his ears, and his body is almost completely vertical. This places a lot of unwanted stress on your rotator cuff and causes your traps and shoulders to do much more work than they need to. So in order to fix this, start contracting your abs and tilting forward while depressing your shoulder blades by pushing them away from your ears, and slowly control the eccentric without letting your shoulders roll forward. To practice this, I recommend doing slow negative eccentrics to get more comfortable keeping your shoulders rolled back, or use a band for some assistance before moving on to just your bodyweight.
