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.

Thank you Mr. Johnny Sins🙏🙏

hahahhaha
My guy want more speed in his mouvements for more hand work
Thank you 😊
Took me a while before I remembered who that was
Thanks, the close to chair and posture is what I needed, the pause at the top I was already doing. One thing you didn't talk about was how far down to go; but in responses to comments below you answered this question - if fit and able to go lower, can go lower. I have been going down to where my upper and lower arm reach 90 degrees.
Awesome! If you keep your posture and stay close to the chair, most people are good going that low and they get a really good burn doing so. Keep rocking!
Downloaded this video so that i could see it everytime i workout, thanks man
That's awesome! Glad it helped. Keep rocking!
Burn-Baby-BURN!!! Only did 3 - but I’ll keep at it! Cruise in Mar 2024 and I want to be as toned as I can! I’ll be 62 1/2 when we sail away🎉
I love it Terri! Keep rocking and keep working those arms💪. You'll be ready in no time.
How was the cruise?
How was the cruise
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.
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 now i can do dips correctly without having shoulder pain again 🙏
You will definitely gonna grow fast I bet
Thank you, I'm trying!
Great video thank you man
Glad it helped!
Thank you from Sri Lanka❤
That's awesome! I'm glad it helped.
Thank you started today and this advice made me feel safe whilst performing dips. Right on, Coach Nick
AWESOME! Glad it helped. Keep rocking.
THANKS! I wanted this!
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.
Thank you so much sir I rlly like ur videos and how u explain the exercises as a beginner I’m happy that people like you are her in TH-cam
Glad these tips helped!
The fact I felt the difference immediately.
Awesome! These are super simple tips, but they work great.
Thanks helped a lot!!!
Awesome! Keep rocking 💪
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.
Thx these is really helpful
Awesome! Glad the tips helped. They are pretty simple cues, but they help big time. Thanks for watching!
thank you
No problem!
Assalamu alaikum
Thank you I was doing everything wrong..could you teach us how to get rid of back fat.on a chair
Brooo this helped me so much. Thank you 🙏 I’m subscribed now
That's awesome! Simple tips, but super helpful. If you have any other exercises you'd like me to cover, let me know. I'm always up for new video ideas.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you Man keep up with your good work!
I absolutely will. Thanks for watching!
Close to the chair, upright
Not sure if this a question or simply a statement, but I'll just say correct, lol. Close to chair, tall posture, pause at the top...golden!
@@coachnickfitness just a note, cheers
Guess I am a woman over 50 now
Hi, I do that until my upper arm is parallel to the floor or horizon. Am I doing it wrong to my triceps? 😢
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 oh, so as long as I don't dwell too far and too long from the comfort zone of my shoulders. Thank you.
Sir very helpful
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.
Your the best
Thanks Phoenix! Keep working those triceps 💪
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!
i do this with my sofa ‘cause de chair keep moving behind me is that bad?
That's ok, but the hard surface of the chair is going to be better. Why is your chair moving so much? Can't you put up against a wall or cabinet so it doesn't move?
Thanks very helpful I really need videos like this 🙂
No problem Arif! Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful.
Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳
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
Coach, I’m over a 100 years old strong.
I have no idea what that means, but you keep rocking man! Thanks for watching.
Can i get a tri and chest drip combo
Thanks jony baba😂...love fro india❤

Im subscriber #500
Hell yeah!!! Thank you and I appreciate the sub.
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!
♥️♥️
Thanks Amos. Glad you found it helpful!
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.
