Chair Triceps Dips

About

Chair Triceps Dips are a versatile bodyweight exercise that effectively targets the triceps brachii, a key muscle group in the upper arm. This exercise requires minimal equipment, making it ideal for home workouts or situations where access to specialized gym equipment is limited. To perform chair dips, sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with your hands gripping the front edge and your feet flat on the ground. Slide your hips off the chair, extend your legs in front of you, and lower your body by bending your elbows until they reach a 90-degree angle. The chair triceps dip is beneficial for building upper body strength, particularly in the triceps, and also engages secondary muscles like the chest and shoulders. It improves upper arm aesthetics and can be easily integrated into various workout routines. While it offers a lower intensity compared to weighted exercises, it can be used as a superset to increase training volume. To progress, you can add weight using a vest or loading plates on your knees. Regular practice enhances muscular endurance and strength, contributing to overall fitness and functional ability.
