How to Do Triceps Dips

To start, lie on the floor with your arms extended, palms facing down. Bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor. Slowly lean forward and lower yourself until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Now hold the position for as long as you can.

Lie on the floor with your arms extended, palms facing down

• Use a bench or chair to support your weight.
• Keep your back straight, don't slouch!
• Make sure you have a good grip on the floor. Your feet should be flat on the ground with knees bent at 90 degrees or less (but not locked). This is important because if they aren't in this position then all of your body weight will be supported by only one arm and shoulder which can become very painful after a while--so make sure they're both comfortable and relaxed before starting any dip exercises!

Bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor

• Make sure your hips are parallel to the floor, which means that if you have a mirror in front of you and look at it, both sides should be level (i.e., not one side higher than another). This is important because if one hip is higher than another during this movement, it will cause unnecessary stress on joints and muscles in addition to making things more difficult for yourself because correcting it requires more energy than simply keeping them even throughout!
• Your knees should be bent at 90 degrees as well as possible without straining anything--you can modify by going closer or further away from parallel depending on what feels most comfortable while still allowing room between thighs/hips so they don't touch when doing dips (this will make things easier).

Slowly lean forward and lower yourself until your upper arms are parallel to the floor

• Start with your body straight.
• Bend your elbows and lower yourself until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Keep your elbows close to your body and keep your back straight, but don't arch it too much as this will strain it.
• Then push up so that your arms are straight again, keeping them in line with each other throughout this exercise--don't let them flare outwards or inwards! This is very important; if you do flare outwards then you risk injuring yourself by straining muscles that are not designed for this type of movement, whereas if they're kept in line with each other then there's less chance of injury occurring because everything has been aligned correctly beforehand (which means nothing is stretching too far).

This will help prevent any kind of damage being done during these types of exercises so that when people start using heavier weights/more resistance levels over time then there won't be any problems associated with having pushed themselves too far ahead without first preparing properly beforehand."

Now hold the position for as long as you can

• Do not lower yourself too quickly and do not use your legs to help you up.
• Make sure that your elbows do not bend during this exercise, even if it feels like they are going to give out on you; this will cause injury to the rotator cuff muscles in your shoulders and may even dislocate them! This is especially true if this is a new exercise for you--it's best to start off with easier variations of dips until your body gets used to them (see below).
• If these are too difficult at first, there are some modifications that can be made: try placing two chairs behind each other so they form an "L" shape; put one foot on top of each chair; then rest both hands on top of each other between them (see picture). Lower yourself by bending only at the waist until both arms are parallel with ground level; raise back up using just leg strength until shoulders return above parallel position again before lowering once more--this helps take some strain off shoulders since no upper body weight needs to be lifted during ascent motions only leg power applied downwards towards floor level instead! You'll still feel it though!

Triceps dips are a great way to build up your triceps and arm strength

They target the triceps muscle, which is one of the largest muscles in your upper body. Triceps dips can be done anywhere--at home or at the gym, on a bench or chair--and they're easy to do. You can also modify them if you want something easier or harder than a regular dip in order to build up your strength in different ways (for example, if you have shoulder injuries). Triceps dips help improve flexibility in the shoulders and lats while building strength throughout those areas of your body so that they don't become weak as you age! But remember: If something hurts during a workout it means there's an injury happening somewhere inside there; stop immediately before further damage occurs!

Conclusion

Triceps dips are a great exercise to build up your arms. They can be done anywhere and require no equipment other than yourself, so there's no excuse not to do them!
