Seated dips are a type of exercise that primarily targets the triceps, deltoids, and pectoral muscles. Here’s how you typically perform seated dips:
- Positioning: Sit on a dip machine or bench with your hands gripping the handles or bars beside your hips. Your palms should be facing downward.
- Movement: Keeping your back straight, slowly lower your body by bending your elbows. Lower yourself until your upper arms are roughly parallel to the floor or slightly below, while keeping your elbows close to your body.
- Extension: Push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms, but avoid locking your elbows.
- Repetition: Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Seated dips are effective for building strength and muscle endurance in the upper body, particularly in the triceps. Adjusting the weight or resistance on the machine can increase or decrease the difficulty of the exercise. Always maintain proper form to avoid strain or injury.
