How to: Assisted Standing Triceps Dip

  1. Adjust the machine to fit your height and sit comfortably.
  2. Grasp the handles with a firm grip, placing your elbows against the pads.
  3. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows until they reach a 90-degree angle.
  4. Push back up to the starting position while keeping your core engaged.

Common Mistakes

  • Letting elbows flare out excessively.
  • Using too much momentum instead of controlled motion.
  • Neglecting to engage the core, which can lead to lower back strain.

Modifications

  • Use a lighter weight or resistance setting.
  • Perform the exercise with knees on the ground for reduced leverage.

Tips

  • Keep your elbows close to your body to avoid shoulder strain.
  • Focus on controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
