The Assisted Triceps Dip (Kneeling) is an exercise that targets the triceps muscles in the back of the arms. This exercise is helpful for building strength and muscle definition in the triceps.
How to perform
To perform the Assisted Triceps Dip (Kneeling) exercise, follow these steps:1. Set up a dip station with parallel bars at waist height. If you do not have access to a dip station, you can also use a sturdy bench or chair.
2. Kneel down in front of the dip station, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
3. Grip the bars with your palms facing down and your hands shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be fully extended.
4. Keeping your elbows close to your body, slowly lower your body down by bending your elbows, until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
5. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to protect your lower back.
8. To make the exercise easier, you can use a resistance band looped around the bars for assistance. Place one foot in the resistance band and use it to help push yourself up.
9. To make the exercise more challenging, you can add weight by wearing a weighted vest or holding a dumbbell between your feet.
Remember to always warm up before starting your workout and to consult with a fitness professional if you are unsure about how to perform this exercise safely and effectively.
