when doing side dips with apps, what is the right way

For side plank dips , the right form is to keep your elbow directly under your shoulder, stack or stagger your feet for balance, and lower and lift your hips slowly with control. The movement should stay in your side body and core, not collapse into your shoulder or neck.

How to do it

1. Set your forearm on the floor with your elbow under your shoulder.

2. Lift into a straight side plank, keeping your head neutral.

3. Lower your hips a little, then press back up without losing tension.

4. Keep the motion slow and steady, not jerky.

Form cues

• Keep your shoulder stacked over your elbow.

• Keep your neck relaxed and neutral.

• Use your obliques to lift, not momentum.

• If the full version is too hard, stagger your feet or bend the bottom knee.

Common mistakes

• Letting the shoulder drift away from the elbow.

• Dropping too fast at the bottom.

• Twisting the torso instead of staying in a straight line.

• Relaxing completely at the bottom instead of keeping tension.

Simple rule

If you can feel it mostly in your obliques and side core, with your shoulder staying stable, you’re doing it the right way.

TL;DR: elbow under shoulder, body in one line, hips go down and up slowly, and keep the core tight.
