Bench dips for those ๐ฆJUCY๐ฆ triceps ๐ Besides strengthening the triceps, bench dips also strengthen the chest and shoulders. This is how itโs done: ๐ Position your hands shoulder width apart on the inside edge of the bench with your fingers hanging over. ๐ While keeping a firm grip on the bench, extend your legs. ๐ Slowly lower your butt down to the bottom while maintaining an upright position. ๐ While descending, keep your elbows close together with your upper arms along your sides, and keep your back close to the bench. ๐ Push yourself up, extending your arms completely, into the start position. Keep your chest up and head facing forward.
