Question on dips?

Can you guys help me with the proper form for dips?

I.E.

Grip, Elbow positioning, Chest positioning, how far you go down, legs bent or straight, just some really in-depth info would be helpful

thanks a lot guys

correct me if i'm wrong...

leaning forward will emphasize triceps w/ pectoral minor

more upright will focus on on the triceps?

hits the triceps anyways, + its hard to balance straight up...

understood...

oh and don't flair your elbows out, keep them at ur sides... don't want unneeded stress on those shoulders.

Oh yea i was going to ask about that, whats the best way to just keep yourself up there with your triceps only, cause i do feel it in my shoulders a good bit sometimes when im doing them
