Weighted Tricep Dips

How to perform

Step by step instructions for performing weighted tricep dips:

1. Sit on a stable bench or chair with your hands gripping the edge of the seat, fingers facing forward. Your legs should be extended out in front of you, knees bent at a 90-degree angle.

2. Place a weight plate on your lap or attach a weight belt with plates hanging from it for added resistance.

3. Lift your body off the seat by straightening your arms, keeping your back close to the bench. Your legs should be out in front of you, heels on the ground, and knees at a 90-degree angle.

4. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping your chest up and shoulders down. Lower yourself until your upper arms are parallel to the ground or just below, feeling a stretch in your triceps.

5. Push through your palms to extend your arms, returning to the starting position. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.

6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, aiming for 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps. Remember to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise to avoid injury.

7. Once you have completed your set, carefully lower yourself back onto the seat and remove the weight from your lap or belt. Stretch your arms and triceps to help aid in recovery and prevent muscle tightness.
