My current recommended training program for men and women over 40: bit.ly/old-school-new-body-2023
In this video, Coach Nick will show you how to PROPERLY do tricep chair dips and how to avoid the 3 most common mistakes that can cause wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain.
Tricep dips on a chair, bench, or any other surface are often butchered and get a bad rap because of it. However, if done properly following Coach Nick's "3 P" method, this is a fantastic exercise to help you tone, tighten, and firm up the "batwing" area of your arms.

Hi Coach Nick, thanks for your video now I know how to do Triceps Chair Dips properly. I'm 53 y.o. ,slim and don't do exercise often. I just started doing exercises because I noticed my muscles are getting soft and arms are getting saggy. I was looking for instructors whose teaching exercises for middle-aged people like me. I am glad I came across your video. 👏

Coach , I'm definitely in the beginner class. 38 yr 190lbs. I'd say just a guess but I'd say I've got a 17% body fat. I'd like to strengthen my core and build my arms . I do have a physical job where I work very hard daily so I feel like my strength level is there but I definitely want to build myself up and get way more defined.

Stay tuned Lucas! I have some new projects/videos coming out to start the New Year that will be perfect for toning up and getting more defined, especially for the core.

I was doing it with my knees perfectly straight, thanks

@coachnickfitness 10 ай бұрын

You're welcome! Keeping the legs perfectly straight just seems to put a ton of extra stress on the shoulder. I do straighten them a bit to make it a little more difficult, but I typically don't go all the way straight. If you need help with any other exercises, let me know. I'm always down for some new video ideas.

Great video and tips. I've been doing my workout thing for almost a year now and am very happy with my progress. When I do this exercise, I use my counter in the kitchen to place my hands and I raise my feet on the opposite counter which holds my sink. I lower myself into the space between the two. So my feet and hands are elevated equally on the same plane as opposed to feet on the floor and hands up on a chair. Is that ok? Is it better? Worse? Thanks.

@coachnickfitness Ай бұрын

Not gonna lie, sounds a little dangerous man, lol. If you have a chair, absolutely just use that. But to answer your question, the way your doing it is actually harder because you can create a bit of a deficit with that, which can be good or bad depending on how good your shoulder mobility is. Just make sure your posturer is really good and don't go super low with that.

@coachnickfitness 2 ай бұрын

If you want to make this more difficult, straighten your legs! It doesn't seem like it would do much, it works great. Or, if you have some dumbbells around, put them in your lap. It's not the most comfortable thing, but you could add a pillow or towel for some cushion.

Does this improve the performance/ reps of the normal dips?

@coachnickfitness 6 ай бұрын

If you are talking about doing dips on a parallel bar, it might help a bit, but those are way harder than doing dips on a bench or chair. If you wanted to improve performance on those, I would stick to dumbbell or cable exercises to help you build more strength in your triceps which would carry over much better to normal dips.

I have rotator cuff issues but I don’t think it will ever heal so gonna do it anyway

@coachnickfitness 8 ай бұрын

With rotator cuff issues, the biggest thing I stay away from are over-head movements. With dips, the most important thing for you is making sure you're not going super low or drifting away from the chair or bench. Keep your posture in my mind and you'll probably be ok.

@coachnickfitness 2 ай бұрын

No! If you made the adjustments I gave in the video and it still hurts, than unfortunately this simply isn't a good exercise for you and you should stop doing them immediately before you injure yourself. Thank you so much for asking.

What about the hands? Should they be facing sideways, or facing the back

@coachnickfitness 10 ай бұрын

Excellent question! This is something I've played around with, and having coached dozens and dozens of people on this exercise, it's a personal preference. Some people like the hands on the sides and feel that better in the triceps, and some people are the exact opposite and like the hands the other way and they feel that better. Whichever you like, make sure to keep your chest up and a little tightness in between your shoulders blades and you'll be good!

@coachnickfitness 29 күн бұрын

If you have healthy shoulders and there is no pain going that low, then you are most likely fine! Especially if you are focused on keeping your posture nice and upright and not rounding your upper back and shoulders when you go that low. If that ever does start to cause issues with your shoulders, then I would decrease the range of motion/stop going that low.

@coachnickfitness Жыл бұрын

Sure. If you have healthy shoulders and really pay attention to your posture, you can definitely go lower than I show here. But having coached this exercise 100's of times, the bottom is where most people really struggle. They tend to lose their posture and round the shoulders which increases the risk of injury. That's the reason I coach it like I do in this video. Thanks for the comment.

Too risky for the shoulders

@coachnickfitness Жыл бұрын

@@kaderadkinsguecko475 Thanks for the comment Kader. Like I said in the video, if you have any pre-existing shoulder issues, I 1000% agree with you. You'd be better off doing doing skull crushers or cable stuff. But, having coached this exercise probably 10,000 times without hurting anyone, if you have healthy shoulders and follow exactly what I say in this video, it's a pretty good exercise to tone and tighten the triceps and it burns so good which my members love.
