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. 👏
Glad it helped! Don't forget, working out, especially with weights, is super important for your bone health too. Keep working at it Michelle!
@@coachnickfitness Thanks for the advice coach, will watch for your videos for guidance. I'll check what I can use in the apartment as weights then eventually will upgrade once I'm gaining more strength and stamina. 🏋♀
Thanks very helpful I really need videos like this 🙂
No problem Arif! Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful.
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.
You will definitely gonna grow fast I bet
Thank you, I'm trying!
Your the best
Thanks Phoenix! Keep working those triceps 💪
Thank you very much coach, I have a question If we want to add more weight, what can I do?
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.
I was doing it with my knees perfectly straight, thanks
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.
Can i get a tri and chest drip combo
Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Does this improve the performance/ reps of the normal dips?
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.
The fact I felt the difference immediately.
Awesome! These are super simple tips, but they work great.
Im subscriber #500
Hell yeah!!! Thank you and I appreciate the sub.
Is it normal for the elbows and wrists to hurt during and afterwards?
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
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!
@@coachnickfitnessthanks a bunch, I was about to give up doing dips cause of how painful they were. Then I realized I was doing it wrong. You've earned yourself a subscriber.
I have rotator cuff issues but I don’t think it will ever heal so gonna do it anyway
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 yeah I’m sticking to about 5 dips with good posture don’t wanna push it to 10 incase of an injury as I’m doing boxing so gonna do low reps
Thank you I was doing it all wrong I knew I was when I had some shoulder pain doing them
Lovely, 'Stop doing that!" That was burning after just 10 dips, yeah!
Nice! With the correct form, it doesn't take much on these. Burn it up!
Thanks jony baba😂...love fro india❤
😂😂
Coach, I’m over a 100 years old strong.
I have no idea what that means, but you keep rocking man! Thanks for watching.
♥️♥️
Thanks Amos. Glad you found it helpful!
I was bringing my ass all the way down to the floor -w-
Lol, a lot of people do that with this exercise. Just stop a bit sooner, follow the cues in this video, and really think about the working muscle (the triceps) and you should be just fine. Good luck with your training!
You need to go all the way down for maximum results.
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
@@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.
