Assisted Triceps Dip
Description
This exercise involves using a machine or a partner to assist in performing triceps dips, which primarily target the triceps muscles in the back of the upper arms. The assistance allows for a greater range of motion and can make the exercise more accessible for those with limited upper body strength.
