Isolated Tricep Dip Contrary to what most people think, this exercise is indeed a tricep dip. Most people are under the impression that the Bench Tripcep Dip is a true dip when in fact, that exercise is simply a variation made for situations when you do not have the equipment to do this original exercise.
Description
  1. Lift yourself until your arms are straight on the dip station.
  2. Elevate your legs and get into a sitting position. (Crossing your legs can help maintain this form.)
  3. Slowly lower yourself straight down until your forearms and upper arms form a 90 degree angle.
  4. Powerfully lift yourself back to the original position.

Alternate Incline Dip Version:

  1. Perform the exercise in the same fashion except when you are lowering yourself allow your torso to come down and forward.
  2. This takes some of the stress off your shoulders and forces it on your chest.
    Things to Keep in Mind
    • This is a difficult exercise if your a beginner. If your fall into this category focus on going down all the way and proper form rather than more reps.
