Tricep Dip This classic exercise is a great way to work your triceps. Although no weights are needed it is a good exercise to do even when you have access to a gym.
Description
  1. Squat down with your back to any coffee table, chair, or bench that is about at knee height.
  2. While placing your palms (fingers facing outward) on the bench to support yourself, extend your legs out until they are straight.
  3. Keep your knees locked and lower yourself until your butt is about an inch or two off the floor.
  4. Flex your triceps and explode back up to your original position.

Alternate Raised Feet Version:

  1. Perform the exercise in the exact same manner; only, elevate your feet with a chair or box.
  2. This puts stresses your triceps further and increases the difficulty of the exercise.
Things to Keep in Mind
  • This exercise should be done in reps similar to push ups.
  • The later reps get very difficult in this exercise. Stay focused and keep your form.
