Assisted Triceps Dip

Target Muscle

1

Grip the handles firmly and keep your elbows close to your body to ensure your triceps are engaged.

2

Lower your body slowly and controlled, bending your elbows until they are at a 90-degree angle, while maintaining a straight back and keeping your elbows in.

3

Once you've reached the bottom of the movement, push yourself back up using your triceps to return to the starting position.

4

Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain good form throughout.

Pro Tip

Controlled Movements: Avoid rushing through the exercise. Instead, perform each dip in a slow and controlled manner. This helps to ensure that your muscles are fully engaged and that you're not relying on momentum to complete the exercise, which is a common mistake that can reduce its effectiveness. Range of Motion: Make sure to go through the full range of motion during each rep. This means lowering your body until your elbows are at about a 90-degree angle and then pushing back up until your arms are fully extended. Avoid partial reps, as they won't give you the full benefits of the exercise. Adjust the Weight
