Exercise Description:
The tricep dip is a go to in any gym or workout routine. It's a isolation movement that targets a major muscle group, while engaging multiple other muscle groups to create a stable and controlled movement. The tricep dip is also an easy workout for beginners to get started with, when lifting weights.
We have listed a couple injuries that this exercise can help with. Regarding those injuries, your should use this exercise after you have built up the stability and movement muscles required to perform this exercise. That would most likely mean being able to perform the following exercises perfectly, i.e. total control through the movement, while maintaining stability around the the shoulder joint.

That would most likely mean being able to perform the following exercises perfectly, i.e. total control through the movement, while maintaining stability around the the shoulder joint.
- shoulder external rotation (resistance band)
- kneed push-ups (body weight)
- tricep dips (bench, chair, bed, etc..)
When we state an injury we are specifically talking about an exercise that can speed up recovery, which almost always means a exercise/movement that targets the stability of a joint to perform a workout.
Once you can complete these workouts with ease, no pain, and proper form, then you would start to perform this exercise.
Also when it comes to "pains" felt when performing this exercise, asses your form and range of motion. If you have some one that can watch you, ask them to, or you can use a camera to film yourself. You want to see:
- how far are the arms lowered, i.e. are arms going at least 90 degrees
- are elbows popping out, i.e. arms are perpendicular instead of an acute angle to body
- is one side lower then the other, i.e. is a shoulder blade not engaging
All of these and more can cause injury and decrease the total amount of weight you can truly lift. There is nothing wrong with stepping away from heavy weight, to fix an underling problem. Do not let your ego define your success, all the greats have lowered weight or incorporated different exercises to fix problems. Which then allowed them to continue their journey to lift heavier weight.
Remember, the "life goal" is to be able to lift just as heavy now as when you are 85, 95, or 110 years old.
