What Floor Triceps Dip trains
Technique
How to do the Floor Triceps Dip
- Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Place your hands on the floor behind you, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your fingers pointing toward your body.
- Press through your palms to lift your hips off the floor, supporting your weight on your hands and feet.
- Bend your elbows to lower your hips toward the floor without touching it, keeping your elbows pointing backward.
- Push through your palms to extend your elbows and raise your hips back up. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your elbows pointing backward, not flaring out to the sides, to target the triceps.
- Keep your hips close to your hands throughout to keep the load on your arms.
- Exhale as you press up and inhale as you lower down.
- Perform the movement slowly and with control to avoid straining your shoulders.
