How to Do Assisted Standing Triceps Dip
- 1Setup
Stand on the assisted dip machine platform and grip the dip handles with straight arms, palms facing inward.
- 2Setup
Set the assistance weight to reduce your body weight to a challenging but manageable level.
- 3
Lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are roughly parallel to the floor, keeping elbows close to your torso.
- 4
Press back up by extending your arms fully, squeezing your triceps at the top. Avoid locking out aggressively.
Tips
- Keep your elbows pointing straight back, not flaring out, to target the triceps over the chest.
- Maintain an upright torso to emphasize triceps; leaning forward shifts the load to your chest.
- Gradually reduce the assistance weight over time as your strength improves to progress toward unassisted dips.
Common Mistakes
- ×Flaring the elbows out wide shifts the focus to the chest and stresses the shoulders; keep elbows tucked.
- ×Using too much assistance prevents adequate muscle stimulus; choose a weight that makes the last 2-3 reps challenging.
