The dip exercise is a popular compound movement that works multiple muscle groups in the upper body, including the triceps, chest, and shoulders. It can be performed using a dip machine or attachment, and is a great addition to any workout routine aimed at building upper body strength and muscle mass. Proper form is essential to avoid injury and get the most out of this exercise. In this procedure, we will outline the steps to perform dips with correct form, including tips to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.
How to perform Tricep Dips
- Stand facing the dip machine or attachment and take hold of the narrow-positioned bars with both hands.
- Lift your feet off the footplates so that your arms are supporting your body weight.
- Bend your knees behind you so that they are at a 90-degree angle.
- Keep your elbows extended and close to your torso. This is your starting position.
- Keep your torso upright and your back straight throughout the exercise.
- Inhale, bend your elbows, and lower your torso towards the floor until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
- Pause briefly.
- Exhale and push through your triceps to raise your torso back to the starting position.
- Keep your elbows tucked in throughout the movement.
