Hi,
I've been progressing well with dips and am now able to do a high number of reps with ease. I was in the gym the other day doing some weighted dips with dumbbells. My current technique is to have two dumbbells standing together and I would lower myself to pick the top one off and hold it in place with my feet. I need to flex my foot up so as to prevent the dumbbell from slipping off. This is great, but I was wondering if anyone here knew of a better way to hold the dumbbells in place? I only ask coz I remember seeing a guy one time who was able to cross his feet and bend his knees. The importance here is that you can remain better balanced and be able to manage a heavier load.
Weight belts, chains are not really an option for me...
Please share if you know how to hold dumbbells in place.
Thanks,
AL
