Lever Triceps Dip: Strengthening Your Triceps and Upper Body

The lever triceps dip is a compound exercise that primarily targets the triceps muscles while also engaging the chest, shoulders, and back muscles. It's an effective way to increase arm strength and develop your upper body muscles. Here's how to perform the lever triceps dip properly:

How to Perform the Lever Triceps Dip:

  1. Starting Position: Begin by sitting in the tricep machine and adjusting the seat to a comfortable height. Align your shoulders as closely to the pivot point of the machine as possible. Your hands should be placed on the handles or bars, with an overhand grip (palms facing down).

  2. Form: Exhale as you push down on the machine's handles, straightening your arms. Focus on extending your elbows and engaging your triceps. Hold this fully extended position for a brief second.

  3. Return: Inhale and slowly release the handles, allowing your arms to bend as you return to the starting position. Maintain control throughout the movement.

Personal Trainer Tips:

  • Pay attention to your shoulder position. Some individuals tend to shrug their shoulders upward as their elbows bend during the exercise. Keep your shoulders down and stabilized.

  • Flexibility is key. The lever triceps dip requires a good range of motion in the shoulders. If you have tight or stiff shoulders, you may find it challenging to maintain proper form. Work on shoulder mobility exercises to improve your flexibility.
