How to do it

  1. 01

    To get into the starting position, hold your body at arm's length with your arms nearly locked above the bars.

  2. 02

    Now, inhale and slowly lower yourself downward. Your torso should remain upright and your elbows should stay close to your body. This helps to better focus on tricep involvement. Lower yourself until there is a 90 degree angle formed between the upper arm and forearm.

  3. 03

    Then, exhale and push your torso back up using your triceps to bring your body back to the starting position.

  4. 04

    Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

In the app

Dips - Triceps Version needs no kit, so it appears whenever 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.

Same pattern, with kit

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