To perform tricep dips on a bench, keep your core tight and only move your arms, squeezing your triceps as you lower and raise your body.
Here’s a breakdown of how to correctly perform bench tricep dips:
-
Starting Position: Sit on the edge of a bench. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the bench beside you, fingers pointing forward. Slide your hips off the bench, extending your legs out in front of you (you can bend your knees for an easier variation).
-
Lowering Phase: Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body. Lower yourself until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
-
Upward Phase: Push back up to the starting position by straightening your arms, focusing on squeezing your triceps.
-
Core Engagement: Maintain a tight core throughout the exercise to stabilize your body. Ensure that only your arms are moving.
