Triceps Dips (Weighted), illustrated

How to do it

Setup

Dip belt loaded, torso vertical, elbows back.

Steps

  1. Lower to ~90°, elbows tight.
  2. Stay upright against the belt's pull.
  3. Press to a firm lockout.

Common mistakes

The belt pulling you into a lean: fight for vertical or unload. Depth creeping past 90°: the shoulders own everything below. Lockout shortening: the triceps live at the very top.

Breathing

Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
