Tricep-leaning dip
Keep torso upright on parallel bars, elbows track behind you as you lower.
Muscles
- Primary
- triceps
- Supporting
- chest lower, front delts
Mechanics
- Pattern
- elbow extension
- Equipment
- bodyweight
- Geometry
- Variable Range
- Energy model
- Glycolytic Pathway (10-90s)
- Target feel
- Triceps drive the lockout; minimal forward lean keeps chest off the load.
- Progression
- Add a weight belt or dip belt.
- Regression
- Bench dip with feet flat and partial range.
Watch for
- Leaning forward — shifts load to the chest
- Partial range — not reaching full lockout
- Elbows flaring out instead of tracking back
Substitutions
- Bench dip
- Diamond push-up
