Exercise Description

The eccentric only dip builds serious tricep strength by focusing on the lowering phase. It creates maximum muscle damage for faster growth.

How To

1. Grab the dip bars and jump up to the top position with arms fully extended 2. Slowly lower yourself down for 3-5 seconds, fighting gravity with control 3. Focus on keeping your eccentric only dip movement smooth and controlled throughout 4. Once you reach the bottom, step off or get assistance back to the starting position 5. Reset at the top and repeat the eccentric only dip for your desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders down and back throughout the entire eccentric only dip movement • Control the descent - take 3-5 seconds to lower yourself down completely • Lean slightly forward to target your chest more, or stay upright for pure tricep focus • Don't bounce at the bottom - make each eccentric only dip rep smooth and controlled

Common Mistakes

• Dropping down too fast instead of controlling the eccentric only dip lowering phase • Letting shoulders roll forward and losing proper posture during the movement • Trying to push back up instead of focusing purely on the eccentric only dip descent
