How to use the seated tricep extension (dip) machine

Muscle Groups: Arms

The seated tricep extension targets the upper arm muscles, specifically the triceps "tris".

To use the machine, first note that this is a chest supported machine so you should be facing forwards. The best way to start is by standing, use your weight to push the bars down rather than sitting down and pressing down. Your elbow acts as as a pivot point, push downwards and slowly upwards, remembering not to over extend the shoulders too much.
