STOP doing Tricep dips like this

If you're getting shoulder pain doing dips then save yourself from injury and discomfort by stopping doing tricep dips in front of the bench. Instead try them with two benches or boxes as seen in video. This is the proper technique for tricep dips helping you reduce elbow pain and shoulder stress allowing for maximum triceps growth.

[@TomPetoTraining]

Great home option 👌

[@Celestria14]

oooo! smart

[@benflyt9827]

I like to do dips the first way, at the end of workout. And pair with pushing ups until failure

[@TomPetoTraining]

👍🏼

[@yesh_94]

If you bend , will it not impact on chest rather than triceps ?

[@TomPetoTraining]

Yes but still hit the triceps a good amount and worth it (in my opinion) for less stress on shoulder joint.

[@costelasabrinacas8622]

Interesting thanks

[@alistairbangera]

Felt too much shoulder comes into play in this method.

[@TomPetoTraining]

If you want to isolate the triceps I recommend other exercises: DB Skull Crusher / Cable Pushdown / Overhead Dumbbell or Cable Extension. Although called Tricep dips, ‘Dips’ are really more of a compound movement incorporating Chest, Shoulders and Triceps.

[@MrsMahuachatterjee]

Then it becomes the parallel bar dips

[@duartecabral55]

I iust dont do dips. Some experts say keep your shoulders back and your back straight. Thus guy says keep chest forward. Easier just to skip this exercise.

[@Mr_B_last]

No

[@TomPetoTraining]

It’s not a compulsory exercise

[@fancydoll54]

Hard not having two bench some people use their couch

[@TomPetoTraining]

Just do Narrow grip push ups instead then or forearm push ups 👍🏼

[@mxkinist]

i got a neck strain after doing dips incorrectly 😭

[@TomPetoTraining]

Yes got to keep shoulders down and away from ears 👍

[@mxkinist]

@@TomPetoTraining will do, thanks for the advice 👌

[@user-yb7dq1er7z]

[@riothedon619]

[@TomPetoTraining]
