Triceps Dips Floor
Description
Tricep dips on the floor perform bench dip mechanics with hands placed on the floor behind you instead of on a bench. The floor limits the range of motion, making it a beginner regression for standard bench dips.
Equipment Required
Triceps Dips Floor Instructions
- Sit on the floor with knees bent, feet flat. Place hands behind you with fingers pointing forward.
- Lift your hips slightly off the floor.
- Bend your elbows to lower your body toward the floor.
- Lower until your glutes nearly touch the floor.
- Press back up by extending your elbows.
- Keep your back close to your hands throughout.
- The floor limits range — this is easier than bench dips.
- Aim for 12 to 20 reps.
