Best Triceps Workout Without Weights

Triceps Dip Bar

Start by positioning yourself in front of the paralell bars.
Grasp the bar with each hand using a firm grip and raise yourself up so that your arms are fully extended.
Perform the movement by lowering yourself until your upper arm is parallel with the floor and return to the starting position.
While you probably don’t need to wear a pair of full finger workout gloves, you’ll probably appreciate wearing a pair of GymPaws® weightlifting grips, as they’ll help ease hand fatigue.

Assisted Weight Machine – Triceps Dips

The assisted weight machine is a great alternative to the standard dip bar because it allows you to add a counter weight to the movement, making it a bit easier to complete the exercise.
Select a weight that seems appropriate, you can adjust it as you go on.
Depending on the machine, you’ll either be standing on a bar or kneeling. Assume the same position as with the triceps bar.
Try to keep your body upright versus leaning forward. If you body is assuming too much of an incline you’ll be working the chest more-so than the triceps.

As with all triceps exercises and dips try to make sure that you’re keeping your elbows tight towards the center of your body-line versus out to the side.
