DIPS – TRICEP FOCUSED

Exercise Execution:

  • There are two ways to do dips. Focusing on your triceps, or focusing on your chest. This version of the dip hits the triceps hardest. Grasp the parallel dip bars with an inward grip.
  • If the bars are adjustable, adjust them in to around shoulder width apart.Jump up and take the weight of your body through fully extended arms.
  • Slowly lower yourself down, keeping your eyes facing forward.
  • Lower until your elbow is at around the same height as your shoulder (or a far is comfortable and stable), and then raise your body back up to the top of the movement.
  • The key to hitting your triceps on this version of the dip is to keep your body as straight as possible and don't lean forward. This may mean not crossing your legs and keeping them hanging down.
