Triceps Dips Floor
Muscles involved
When performing triceps dips floor using just your bodyweight, it is very common to make technical mistakes that reduce the effectiveness of your workout. One of the most frequent errors happens when you move your hips too far away from your hands, transferring unnecessary strain to your shoulder joints instead of isolating your arms. By paying close attention to keeping your torso close and controlling your descent as you bend your elbows backward, you will achieve a direct and safe stimulus. This simple movement builds strength in your triceps without needing extra equipment, ensuring clean muscular engagement while protecting your joints.
How to do it
1. Sit on the floor with your hands on a bench behind you and legs extended. 2. Lower your body by bending your elbows until they form 90 degrees. 3. Keep your hips close to the bench during the movement. 4. Extend your arms to return to the starting position.
