The overhand grip on this triceps dip machine changes the wrist and elbow angle compared to a neutral grip, shifting slightly more emphasis onto the triceps' outer head. The fixed path means the whole exercise comes down to elbow extension, without any chest or shoulder assistance sneaking in.

How to Do the Lever Overhand Triceps Dip

1. Set the machine to the appropriate height and secure your body in position.
2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and position your body so that your arms are fully extended.
3. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping your upper arms close to your sides.
4. Continue lowering until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
5. Pause briefly, then push yourself back up to the starting position by extending your elbows.
6. Execute the desired number of reps with smooth cadence and consistent focus on the triceps.
