Exercise Description

The tricep dip builds serious arm strength and muscle size. It hits your triceps hard while working your chest and shoulders too.

How To

1. Sit on the edge of a bench or chair with hands gripping the edge beside your hips 2. Slide your body forward off the bench, keeping your legs straight or knees bent for easier tricep dips 3. Lower your body by bending your elbows until they reach about 90 degrees 4. Push through your palms to lift yourself back up to the starting position 5. Repeat the tricep dip movement for your desired reps, keeping control throughout

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the entire tricep dip movement • Don't dip too low - stop when your elbows hit 90 degrees to protect your shoulders • Keep your core tight and chest up during each tricep dip rep • Control the movement - don't bounce at the bottom or rush through the reps

Common Mistakes

• Flaring elbows out wide instead of keeping them close during tricep dips • Dipping too deep and putting dangerous stress on your shoulder joints • Using momentum to bounce up instead of controlled muscle contraction in your tricep dip
