How To Properly Do Tricep Chair Dips - 3 Common Mistakes

In this video, Coach Nick will show you how to PROPERLY do tricep chair dips and how to avoid the 3 most common mistakes that can cause wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain.

Tricep dips on a chair, bench, or any other surface are often butchered and get a bad rap because of it. However, if done properly following Coach Nick's "3 P" method, this is a fantastic exercise to help you tone, tighten, and firm up the "batwing" area of your arms.

This video is really helpful. I always thought tricep dips were too risky, but now I see how to do them correctly.

Hi Coach Nick, thanks for your video now I know how to do Triceps Chair Dips properly. I'm 53 y.o., slim and don't do exercise often. I just started doing exercises because I noticed my muscles are getting soft and arms are getting saggy. I was looking for instructors whose teaching exercises for middle-aged people like me. I am glad I came across your video. 👏

I’ve been looking for ways to tone my arms and this is just what I needed. The tips are straightforward and easy to follow.

Thanks, the close to chair and posture is what I needed, the pause at the top I was already doing. One thing you didn't talk about was how far down to go; but in responses to comments below you answered this question - if fit and able to go lower, can go lower. I have been going down to where my upper and lower arm reach 90 degrees.

Thank you so much. You're a great coach. Your demonstration makes things clearer. One tiny critic, and I'm apologizing if I'm offending you: there is no need for speaking so loud, your mic is very good.

Burn-Baby-BURN!!! Only did 3 - but I’ll keep at it! Cruise in Mar 2024 and I want to be as toned as I can! I’ll be 62 1/2 when we sail away🎉

Thank you so much sir I rlly like ur videos and how u explain the exercises as a beginner I’m happy that people like you are her in YouTube

[lucascampbell]

Coach, I'm definitely in the beginner class. 38 yr 190lbs. I'd say just a guess but I'd say I've got a 17% body fat. I'd like to strengthen my core and build my arms . I do have a physical job where I work very hard daily so I feel like my strength level is there but I definitely want to build myself up and get way more defined.

Brooo this helped me so much. Thank you 🙏 I’m subscribed now

[magnoliamike]

I was doing it with my knees perfectly straight, thanks

[sicjes]

Great video and tips. I've been doing my workout thing for almost a year now and am very happy with my progress.
When I do this exercise, I use my counter in the kitchen to place my hands and I raise my feet on the opposite counter which holds my sink. I lower myself into the space between the two. So my feet and hands are elevated equally on the same plane as opposed to feet on the floor and hands up on a chair. Is that ok? Is it better? Worse?
Thanks.

You will definitely gonna grow fast I bet

[falconybeats]

Thank you very much coach, I have a question If we want to add more weight, what can I do?

[syedrizvi.]

Does this improve the performance/ reps of the normal dips?
