Exercise Description

Chair dip builds strong triceps using just a chair. Perfect for home workouts when you want to sculpt your arms without weights.

How To

1. Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with hands gripping the seat beside your hips 2. Slide your butt off the chair, supporting your weight with straight arms 3. Lower your body by bending your elbows until they reach 90 degrees 4. Push through your palms to lift back up to starting position for your chair dip 5. Keep your back close to the chair throughout the entire movement

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows pointing straight back, not flared out to the sides during chair dip • Lower yourself slowly and controlled - don't just drop down fast • Keep your shoulders down and back, don't let them roll forward • Your chair dip form improves when you keep your core tight throughout

Common Mistakes

• Going too deep and straining your shoulders - stop at 90 degrees for safe chair dip form • Letting your elbows flare out wide instead of keeping them close to your body • Moving too far away from the chair dip setup, which puts extra stress on your shoulders
