How to Do the Dip Machine
- 1Sit securely in a dip machine, select the weight and firmly grasp the handles.
- 2Now keep your elbows in at your sides in order to place emphasis on the triceps. The elbows should be bent at a 90 degree angle.
- 3As you contract the triceps, extend your arms downwards as you exhale. Tip: At the bottom of the movement, focus on keeping a little bend in your arms to keep tension on the triceps muscle.
- 4Now slowly let your arms come back up to the starting position as you inhale.
- 5Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
