1 Arm Dips
The 1 arm dips exercise will require a good level of upper body muscular strength and balance, and as such should only be performed by regular exercisers.
Adapt a secure position such as a suitable bench, placing just one hand down, palms facing forward, use your other arm to act like a tail, and aid your balance, as you perform the dip.
