Weighted Tricep Dips

Weighted Tricep Dips Instructions

- Weight belt with weights (optional, for added resistance)

Positioning:
1. Stand facing the dip station.
2. Grasp the handles with your palms facing inward.
3. Keep your arms straight and your shoulders above your hands.
4. If using a weight belt, attach weights around your waist securely.
5. Position your feet together with your legs hanging down or bent at the knees.

Movement:
1. Start Position: Begin with your arms straight and your body supported by your hands. Your elbows should be locked, and your body should be upright.
2. Lowering Phase: Slowly bend your elbows to lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground. Keep your elbows close to your body and maintain a controlled motion.
3. Pause: At the bottom of the movement, pause for a moment to ensure you have full control.
4. Upward Phase: Push through your palms to straighten your arms and raise your body back to the starting position. Keep your movements smooth and steady.
5. Repetitions: Repeat these steps for the desired number of repetitions, usually between 8 to 12.

Tips for Beginners:
- Start with bodyweight dips before adding any weight.
- Ensure that your movements are controlled to avoid straining your shoulders.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise for stability.
- If you're struggling with the dip, consider using a resistance band or having assistance to help you perform the movement.
