Exercise Profile

Triceps Dip Overview

The triceps dip is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the triceps, the muscles on the back of the upper arm.

In this workout, the bodyweight is used as resistance by lowering and raising the body using the arms.

While the triceps dip also engages secondary muscles like the chest and shoulders, its main focus is on strengthening the triceps.

  2. Extend your legs in front of you, keeping your feet together and heels on the ground.
  3. Lower your body by bending your elbows, allowing them to flare out to the sides.
  4. Continue lowering until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
  5. Push through your palms to straighten your arms and return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Triceps Dip Tips

  3. Keep your core engaged and avoid swinging your legs to maintain proper form.
  4. Focus on squeezing your triceps as you push yourself back up to the starting position.
