Weighted Tricep Dips

Expert Advice

Keep your shoulders down and back to avoid unnecessary strain and to maximize triceps activation.

Secure the weight around your waist or place it on your lap if you're using a dip machine.
Grip the parallel bars and hoist yourself up to the starting position with arms extended.
Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides.
Descend until your shoulders are just below your elbows or as low as comfortably possible.
Push back up to the starting position by extending your elbows and contracting your triceps.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
