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.
