Weighted Tricep Dips

Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Position yourself on a dip bar with your arms fully extended and nearly locked at the elbows.

2

Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows until they form a 90-degree angle, ensuring that your back is close to the bar.

3

Pause for a moment when you reach the bottom of the movement, then push your body back up to the starting position using your triceps.

4

Repeat this process for the desired number of reps, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

Control Your Movement: Avoid rushing through the exercise. Instead, control your movement both while lowering and lifting your body. This ensures your muscles are under tension for a longer period, enhancing muscle growth and strength. Choose Appropriate Weight: Another common mistake is using a weight that is too heavy. This can lead to poor form and increase the risk of injury. Start with a weight you can handle comfortably and gradually increase as you get stronger. Warm Up: It's crucial to warm up before any exercise, including weighted tricep dips
