Description

The kneeling assisted triceps dip is an effective exercise to target and strengthen the triceps while providing support to maintain proper form.

Starting Position

Start by kneeling on the floor with both hands grasping the assistive bar placed above shoulder height, maintaining an upright posture.

Technical Execution

Lower your body by bending at the elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the ground, then push back up to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Focus on a controlled movement, ensuring a full range of motion is achieved with each repetition.

Variations

Variations can include adjusting the height of the assistive bar, changing hand placement, or adding resistance bands for increased intensity.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include arching the back, allowing elbows to flare out, and not engaging the core muscles.

Practical Advice

Ensure a stable base by keeping the shoulders down and back, and control the movement throughout the full range of motion.

Additional Notes

It is important to gradually increase the difficulty by reducing assistance as strength improves.
