Technique

How to perform Tricep Dip

1. Grip the parallel bars and support your body above them with your arms extended.
2. Keep the torso upright and the legs still rather than swinging.
3. Bend the elbows and lower under control, letting the upper arms move behind you while the elbows stay close to your sides.
4. Stop around a right angle at the elbows or earlier if you cannot maintain the intended position.
5. Press down through the bars to straighten the elbows and return to the top support.
6. Regain a steady support before repeating without bouncing from the bottom.
