How To Do A Triceps Dip
The triceps dip exercise builds arm and shoulder strength. In general, it works the muscles that run on the backside of your upper arm, from the elbow to the shoulder. It is a basic bodyweight exercise that doesn’t require much equipment.
How To Do Triceps Dips Right (On Box)
- Place your hands on a box with straight arms.
- Bent your knees leaning the weight on your heels.
- Bend the arms lowering yourself down to the floor until your arms are at 90 degrees.
- Push back up hard, extend and straighten your arms back to the start position.
- Try a count of three lowering down and one coming back up.
