Machine Overhand Triceps Dip
The seated machine dip taken with an overhand grip, palms facing down, instead of the neutral handles; the torso leans slightly forward.
How to do it
Setup
Seated in the dip machine, torso leaning slightly forward, the handles gripped overhand beside the hips.
Steps
- Press the handles down until the elbows lock.
- Keep the elbows tracking back, close to the body.
- Return until the upper arms are about level with the floor.
Common mistakes
Wrists bending back under the overhand grip: keep them straight over the handles. Elbows flaring out: the overhand grip tempts them wide; drive them back. Bouncing out of the bottom: control the turn.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
