Narrow-Grip Dips

Exercise:
Narrow-Grip Dips
Target Muscle:
Triceps
Equipment:
Dip Stand
Execution:
Hold onto the dip bars using a shoulder width grip and begin the movement with your arms fully extended and your body upright.

While keeping your torso as upright as you comfortably can (a slight lean forward is fine) and your elbows tucked in toward your sides, lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.

Press your body back up until your elbows are fully locked out, and repeat.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a shoulder-width grip and keep your body upright in order to shift as much stress onto the triceps as possible. If you use too wide a grip or lean forward excessively, more tension will be placed onto the front delts and pecs instead.

- Always lower yourself under control and stop once your arms are parallel to the floor. Going too deep can very easily over-stress the shoulder joints.

- You can hold a dumbbell in between your knees or use a weight belt to add more resistance if necessary.
