How to do it

  1. 01

    Sit securely in a dip machine, select the weight and firmly grasp the handles.

  2. 02

    Now keep your elbows in at your sides in order to place emphasis on the triceps. The elbows should be bent at a 90 degree angle.

  3. 03

    As you contract the triceps, extend your arms downwards as you exhale. Tip: At the bottom of the movement, focus on keeping a little bend in your arms to keep tension on the triceps muscle.

  4. 04

    Now slowly let your arms come back up to the starting position as you inhale.

  5. 05

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Dip Machine appears when you own the machine and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the machine

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
