Tricep Dip Video Exercise Guide

Many people don't know that there are two ways to do dips - focusing on your triceps, or focusing on your chest. This version of the dip hits the triceps hardest.

1. Grab the parallel dip bars with an inward grip.
2. If the bars are adjustable, adjust them to around shoulder-width apart.
3. Jump up off the floor and take your weight on the bars.
4. The key to hitting your triceps on this version of the dip is to keep your body as straight as possible and don't lean forward. This may mean not crossing your legs and keeping them hanging down.
5. Slowly lower yourself down, keeping your eyes facing forward.
6. Lower until your elbow is at around the same height as your shoulder, and then raise your body back up without locking your arms at the top of the movement.
7. Repeat for desired reps.
