Weighted Bench Dip

A progression from standard dips, this weighted version increases resistance to challenge your triceps and supporting muscles more intensely.

Instructions

1. Sit between two benches and place your hands on the edge of one, arms extended.
2. Extend your legs onto the opposite bench. Have a partner place a dumbbell on your lap.
3. Lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are just below parallel.
4. Press through your palms to raise yourself back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
