Exercise Profile

Suspension Trainer Triceps Dips Overview

The suspension trainer triceps dips workout is a highly effective exercise for targeting the triceps.

By using the suspension trainer, the workout engages the triceps muscles to a greater extent than traditional dips.

The suspension trainer allows for a wider range of motion, increasing the intensity and effectiveness of the exercise.

While other muscles such as the chest and shoulders may be involved, the focus remains primarily on the triceps.

Suspension Trainer Triceps Dips Instructions

  1. Adjust the suspension trainer to a height that allows your feet to be off the ground when you’re in a seated position.
  2. Stand facing away from the suspension trainer and hold the handles with an overhand grip.
  3. Walk your feet forward, extending your arms and keeping your body straight, until your arms are fully extended.
  4. Bend your elbows to lower your body, keeping your elbows close to your sides and your body straight.
  5. Continue lowering until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
  6. Push through your palms to extend your elbows and raise your body back to the starting position.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Suspension Trainer Triceps Dips Tips

  1. Position yourself facing away from the suspension trainer, gripping the handles with your palms facing down and arms fully extended. Keep your feet hip-width apart and slightly in front of you, maintaining a strong core and straight back.
  2. Engage your triceps by slowly bending your elbows and lowering your body towards the ground. Focus on maintaining control and a slow, controlled descent, feeling the tension in your triceps as you go.
  3. At the bottom of the movement, pause for a brief moment, ensuring your elbows are at a 90-degree angle and your upper arms are parallel to the ground. This maximizes the activation of your triceps and increases the challenge.
  4. Push through your palms to extend your elbows and return to the starting position, exhaling as you exert force. Visualize your triceps contracting and powering the movement, while keeping your body stable and avoiding any swinging or momentum.
  5. To intensify the exercise, elevate your feet on a bench or stability ball, increasing the load on your triceps. Alternatively, for a regression, bend your knees and place your feet on the ground, reducing the resistance. Remember to always listen to your body and adjust the difficulty level accordingly.
