Triceps Dip

Position yourself on parallel dip bars with your arms fully extended and shoulders stable. Keep your torso upright to emphasize the triceps, and engage your core to prevent swinging. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows straight back, keeping them close to your sides as you descend. Go down until your upper arms are roughly parallel to the floor or slightly below, depending on your shoulder mobility. Pause briefly at the bottom while maintaining control. Press through your palms to extend your elbows and return to the starting position. Fully lock out at the top while keeping your shoulders down and stable. Repeat for the desired reps with smooth, controlled movement. **Tip:** Leaning forward increases chest involvement, while a more upright torso emphasizes triceps activation.
