Assisted Standing Triceps Dip

Perform the Assisted Standing Triceps Dip to strengthen your triceps and improve upper body stability.

  1. Stand facing a sturdy support, such as a dip bar or a wall.
  2. Place your hands on the support, shoulder-width apart, and extend your arms.
  3. Bend your elbows to lower your body while keeping your feet on the ground.
  4. Push through your palms to return to the starting position.

How to perform the Assisted Standing Triceps Dip

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Assisted Standing Triceps Dip using your leverage machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your pectoralis minor.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your pectoralis minor rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
