A.K.A. Triceps Dip

The seated tricep dip exercise uses a machine to work the tricep muscles while in a seated position.

Steps :

1.) Start by adjust the seat of the machine so that the handles are equal with your elbows.

2.) Grasping the handles press down with equal pressure till your arms are fully extended.

3.) Pause, hold for a count and then return to the starting position.

4.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.

Find a dip apparatus with relatively narrow grips (no wider than shoulder width). Begin holding onto the bars with your body vertical to the floor and your arms extended. Bend your arms to slowly lower yourself down, keeping your body vertical throughout. When your elbows reach roughly 90 degrees, press yourself back up to the start position.To increase resistance for fewer reps, do weighted dips by suspending a weight plate or dumbbell from a weight belt.
