How to perform Leverage Machine Triceps Dip with proper form
Setup
- Position Yourself: Sit on the leverage machine with your back against the pad. Adjust the seat height if needed.
- Grip Handles: Grasp the handles firmly with your palms facing down.
Execution
- Feet Placement: Keep your feet flat on the ground, positioned shoulder-width apart.
- Start Position: Push down on the handles so your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
- Lowering Phase: Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows while maintaining control. Keep your elbows close to your torso.
- Depth Control: Lower to a comfortable depth while keeping tension in your triceps. Avoid going too low to prevent shoulder strain.
- 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.
