How to perform Leverage Machine Triceps Dip with proper form

Setup

1. Position Yourself: Sit on the leverage machine with your back against the pad. Adjust the seat height if needed.
2. Grip Handles: Grasp the handles firmly with your palms facing down.

Execution

1. Feet Placement: Keep your feet flat on the ground, positioned shoulder-width apart.
2. Start Position: Push down on the handles so your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
3. Lowering Phase: Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows while maintaining control. Keep your elbows close to your torso.
4. Depth Control: Lower to a comfortable depth while keeping tension in your triceps. Avoid going too low to prevent shoulder strain.
5. Press Up: Press through your palms to straighten your arms, returning to the start position. Focus on using your triceps for the lift.

Key Points

• Maintain a straight back and engaged core throughout the movement.
• Avoid flaring out your elbows; keep them tucked in.
• Control both the lowering and lifting phases to maximize effectiveness and prevent injury.
