Let’s dive in! 💪
Tricep dips target your arms, chest, and shoulders, helping you build lean muscle and strength without needing fancy gym equipment!
Here’s why you should add them to your routine:
Tricep dips primarily work the triceps, which are the muscles at the back of your arms.
💡 Stronger triceps = More defined arms & better pushing power!
🔹 Perfect for reducing arm fat and improving definition
🔹 Enhances performance in push-ups, bench press, and overhead lifts
Tricep dips engage your:
✔️ Shoulders (Deltoids) – Helps improve stability and posture
✔️ Chest (Pectorals) – Assists in push movements for better upper-body strength
🔥 If you want stronger shoulders and a well-defined chest, dips are a must!
Tricep dips mimic real-life movements, improving your ability to:
✔️ Push yourself up from a chair
✔️ Support your body weight in exercises like pull-ups
✔️ Lift and carry heavy objects
💡 More strength = Easier everyday activities!
Keeping your body stable during dips engages your core muscles, helping you:
✔️ Improve balance
✔️ Strengthen your abs and lower back
✔️ Prevent injuries
🔥 A strong core means better posture and overall fitness!
