Shaped By Faith – Working the Triceps in the Office

Triceps Dips are an advanced exercise targeting the triceps.

This is a compound move, involving both the elbow and the shoulder joint and it doesn't require any equipment, making it a great travel exercise. You can add intensity by walking the feet out or by propping the feet on a bench or chair or, doing a one arm triceps dip or by doing this exercise off a stability ball

Before you get started you may want to mediate on the following verse. It will help you stay focused on your Triceps as you recognize where your strength comes from!
God arms me with strength,
and he makes my way perfect.  Psalms 18:32

1.    Sit on the edge of a bench or chair.
2.    Begin with the hands next to or slightly under the hips.
3.    Lift up onto the hands and bring the hips forward.
4.    Bend the elbows (no lower than 90 degrees) and lower the hips down, keeping them very close to the chair. Keep the shoulders down.
5.    Push back up without locking the elbows and repeat for 8-16 reps.

Tips
•    Keep the shoulders down and away from the ears to protect them from injury.
•    Keep the hips close to the bench or chair to keep the focus on the triceps and not the shoulders.
•    To make it easier, move the feet closer in. To make it harder, walk the feet out or elevate them on another chair or bench.
