How to: Suspender Triceps Dip
- Set up your suspension trainer at an appropriate height.
- Grab the handles with an overhand grip and extend your arms straight down.
- Step back to create tension in the straps.
- Lower your body down by bending your elbows while keeping your body straight.
- Push back up to the starting position by engaging your triceps.
Common Mistakes
- Flaring elbows out excessively.
- Not lowering enough to engage the triceps.
- Leading with the neck instead of the chest.
Modifications
- Perform on a stable surface rather than using suspension for beginners.
- Reduce the range of motion until strength improves.
Tips
