Instructions:
- 1Begin by hoisting yourself up on parallel bars with your torso perpendicular to the floor.
- 2Slowly lower your body by flexing at the elbows maintaining a small forward lean
- 3Lower yourself until there is an angle slightly smaller than 90 degrees between the upper arm and the forearm
- 4Push your body upwards until your arms are fully extended again
- 5Repeat for desired amount of reps.
Tips:
- Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement to activate your triceps more.
- Avoid locking out your elbows at the top of the movement to maintain tension on the triceps
- Do not dip too low as it may stress the shoulder joints.
- Control the movement at all points in the exercise to avoid injury and maximize muscle activity.
