Tricep Dip (Band)

An assisted dip variation using resistance bands to reduce bodyweight loading on the triceps. Excellent for building tricep strength and developing pressing power.

Instructions

1. Loop a resistance band around a pull-up bar or dip station, creating a support band.
2. Place your knees or feet in the band depending on the assistance level needed.
3. Grip the dip bars with hands shoulder-width apart, arms extended and locked.
4. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your torso.
5. Descend until your elbows reach approximately 90 degrees.
6. Press through your hands and extend your elbows to return to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

• Keep your body upright and avoid leaning forward excessively.
• The band reduces the percentage of bodyweight being lifted, making the movement more accessible.
• Gradually use lighter bands as your strength increases to progress the movement.
• Full range of motion is important for optimal tricep activation.
• You can adjust assistance by using thicker or thinner bands as needed.
