The Lever Overhead Triceps Dip is a bodyweight exercise that targets the triceps, shoulders, and chest muscles. This exercise requires a set of parallel bars or fitness equipment that allows for hanging and dipping movements.
How to perform
Here is a step-by-step guide to performing the Lever Overhead Triceps Dip:1. Begin by gripping the parallel bars or handles with your hands, palms facing inward and arms fully extended overhead. Your body should be hanging between the bars.
2. Engage your core muscles and keep your chest up as you bend your elbows to lower your body down towards the ground. Your elbows should remain close to your body throughout the movement.
3. Lower your body until your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle or slightly past, feeling a stretch in your triceps and chest muscles.
4. Push through your palms to straighten your arms and return to the starting position. Keep your core engaged to maintain stability and control throughout the movement.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on proper form and controlled movements.
6. To increase the intensity of this exercise, you can add weight by wearing a weighted vest or holding a dumbbell between your feet.
7. Make sure to warm up before attempting this exercise and cool down afterwards to prevent injury and aid in muscle recovery.
Remember to listen to your body and adjust the difficulty level as needed to challenge yourself while maintaining proper form.
