Tricep dips are a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the triceps, the muscles located at the back of the upper arm. To perform a tricep dip, you typically use a sturdy surface like a bench or a chair. By placing your hands on the edge and lowering your body down and back up, you engage the triceps, shoulders, and chest. This exercise can be modified for different fitness levels. Beginners can keep their feet on the ground for support, while more advanced individuals can extend their legs or add weights. Tricep dips are effective for building upper body strength and improving muscle tone.
