Dip (Triceps)
How to do it
- Grip the parallel bars of the dip station with arms straight and body suspended, legs bent slightly behind you.
- Lower the body by bending the elbows while keeping the torso fairly upright to keep emphasis on the triceps brachii.
- Descend until the upper arms reach about parallel to the floor, feeling the stretch across the chest.
- Press back up by straightening the elbows fully, driving through the triceps and chest together.
- Keep the shoulders down away from the ears throughout the movement.
- Avoid flaring the elbows out wide, a common fault that shifts load onto the shoulders.
