Triceps Dip
TARGET MUSCLE: Triceps Brachii
Preparation
Place your hands on the edge of a gym bench or chair.
Keep your arms close to your body with your knuckles pointing straight ahead.
Bend your knees so your thighs and lower legs form slightly more than a 90-degree angle.
Execution
Bend your elbows and slowly lower your body.
Straighten the elbows to raise the body up.
Note:
Do not lower yourself down too far, as this can result in heavy strain on your shoulder joints and possible injury.
Squeeze your triceps hard at the top of the movement and feel the stretch on the way down.
Do not lock your elbows out at the top of the movement.
