Weighted Three Bench Dips

- Triceps
Same three-bench dip setup for extended range, with added weight once the bodyweight version stops being challenging. The combination of the deeper range from the three-bench position and the extra load makes this a serious triceps and chest stretch-loading exercise. Keep the shoulders from rolling forward at the bottom of the rep, especially as the weight increases — that's where the joint takes the most strain.
How to Do the Weighted Three Bench Dips
- Sit on the edge of a bench with your hands gripping the edge, fingers pointing forward.
- Walk your feet forward, sliding your butt off the bench and supporting your weight with your arms.
- Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping your back close to the bench.
- Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push yourself back up to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
