How to Do the Scapula dips

Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended in front of you. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight. Lower your body by bending your elbows and retracting your shoulder blades, as if you are trying to squeeze a pencil between them. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your hands to extend your elbows and return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
