How to

  1. 1Sit securely in a dip machine, select the weight and firmly grasp the handles.

  3. 3As you contract the triceps, extend your arms downwards as you exhale. Tip: At the bottom of the movement, focus on keeping a little bend in your arms to keep tension on the triceps muscle.
  4. 4Now slowly let your arms come back up to the starting position as you inhale.
  5. 5Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
