Tricep Dip Standing, Switching Machine Tips

  1. Position yourself correctly by standing facing the machine, with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Place your hands on the handles, ensuring that your palms are facing down and your elbows are slightly bent.
  2. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong and stable foundation for the exercise. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  3. As you lower your body, focus on keeping your elbows close to your sides. This will ensure that the triceps are the main muscles being targeted during the exercise. Avoid flaring your elbows outwards, as this can shift the emphasis to other muscle groups and reduce the effectiveness of the movement.
  4. Control the movement as you push yourself back up to the starting position. Avoid using momentum or relying on your leg muscles to assist you. Instead, focus on using the strength of your triceps to power the movement, squeezing them at the top of the exercise to maximize engagement.
  5. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower your body and exhaling as you push yourself back up. This will help you maintain a steady rhythm and oxygenate your muscles, allowing you to perform the exercise with greater ease and efficiency.
