Suspension Triceps Dip

Perform the Suspension Triceps Dip to strengthen your triceps and improve upper body stability.

  1. Set up suspension straps at an appropriate height.
  2. Grip the handles and lean back, keeping your body straight.
  3. Lower your body by bending your elbows until your arms are at a 90-degree angle.
  4. Push through your palms to return to the starting position.

How to perform the Suspension Triceps Dip

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Suspension Triceps Dip using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your deltoids.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your deltoids rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
