How to do floor triceps dips

Coach's Tips

This is an exercise that targets the triceps and back muscles. Ensure your elbows do not flare out too much!

Start Position

1. Position your elbows near your body as you raise and lower yourself.

2. Ensure your back and shoulders remain close to the floor during the movement.

3. Do not lock your elbows during the exercise.

4. Cease the exercise if you experience any pain or discomfort.

Proper Form

1. Breathe in as you push your body upwards until your arms are fully extended.

2. Breathe out while gradually lowering your body back down.

3. Continue this motion for the desired amount of repetitions.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale as you lower your body, and exhale as you push your body back upward.

2. Maintain a steady and controlled breathing pattern throughout the exercise.

Precautions

1. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched in front. Position your hands shoulder-width apart behind you, then shift your body forward until your arms are extended.

2. Bend your elbows to lower your body until your upper arms are parallel with the ground while keeping your back close to the floor and your heels firmly planted.
