Weighted Triceps Dip On High Parallel Bars
- Category
- Upper Arms
- Equipment
- Weighted
- Target
- Triceps
High parallel bars allow a deeper dip than a standard set of dip bars, extending the range of motion and the stretch on the triceps and chest at the bottom before adding weight on top of that. It's a more demanding setup than a standard dip station for that reason alone, even before any load is added. Control the descent — the extra depth is exactly where a rushed rep turns into shoulder strain.
How to Do the Weighted Triceps Dip On High Parallel Bars
- Position yourself between two parallel bars with your hands gripping the bars and your arms fully extended.
- Bend your elbows and lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
- Pause for a moment, then push through your palms to straighten your arms and return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
