Combination (tricep/chest support) — additional.
Execution
Lean forward, elbows out — the chest version of the dip, not the upright triceps version. Two sets to failure at bodyweight; add load only if 15+ comes easy.
The cue that matters
Lean forward, elbows out — chest version, not triceps.
Common mistake
Staying bolt upright and turning it into a tricep dip; the lean is what points the stress at the chest.
