How to do a cable tricep dip

  1. Attach a straight bar to a high pulley and face away from the stack.
  2. Hold the bar behind your hips with your elbows bent and the cable running up behind you.
  3. Press the bar down and back until your arms are straight.
  4. Keep your torso upright and your elbows pointing back.
  5. Return slowly until your elbows are bent 90 degrees.

Form tips

  • Keep your elbows pinned to your sides throughout the movement.
  • Avoid swinging your torso; move only at the elbows.
  • Fully extend the arms without locking out aggressively.
  • Control the eccentric phase to maintain muscle tension.
