Fix This Tricep Dip Mistake #triceps

A dip mistake is not locking out the elbow at the top. This will not fully maximize the use of your triceps throughout the movement. If you want to build those horseshoe triceps finish each rep with full extension of your arms.

He’s trying to say go as low as you can at the bottom of the movement to get more of an extension at the top of the movement. It does give a better stretch of the triceps but it puts a ton of strain on your elbow joints. If you use less of a wider grip you don’t have to go as low on the down movement to get that full stretch of the tricep but you also put more strain on your shoulder blade so it’s about comfortably between the two

I agree it does maximize tricep movement but that would make a bad joint injury with time

That intoxicating voice ... ok, I'll do it!

Lenghtened partials study kinda disproves this

If you lock out when doing weighted dips could it be bad for you?

What does it mean to lock out the elbow at the top?
My untrained eye honestly could not see a difference from method 1 to method 2?

I actually realized this on my first time doing dips after i didn't feel that much soreness in my triceps the day after

[ok]

Remember, this the same type of guy telling u in the gym that locking ur legs on a leg press machine is ideal when going for heavy loads

When I do that my elbow cracks and it hurts

[bendodd]

Locking out any excercise, especially weighted is a bad idea, nobody intentionally hyper extends their joint to injury it just happens when you dont expect from locking out

Stay safe and dont lock out any excercise...

Keep the tension in the muscle and not in the joint

[retrospeed]

This actually help instantly feel more mind to muscle connection thx







Gym bro forever?👉👈

[aightbro]

my elbow joint is hypermobile and if i fully lock out my arm will snap in half

[BLAddict]

Locking out any exercise just seems like a bad idea.. not good for joints in the long run

I use to love dips, they fucked me up though and I'm never ever doing them again..
