How to Do Tricep Dip

Form Cues

1. 1

   Hands on bench behind you, lower until elbows reach 90 degrees

2. 2

   Keep torso upright not leaning forward

3. 3

   Keep elbows tracking straight back, not flaring out to the sides

4. 4

   Press back up to full extension without locking out aggressively

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Leaning forward shifts load to chest — keep torso vertical to target triceps

• ●

  Lowering past 90 degrees at the elbow — deeper isn't better here and adds shoulder strain

• ●

  Shrugging the shoulders up toward the ears as fatigue sets in
