Prison Workout: Behind-the-Back Triceps Dips
Prison Workout - Behind-the-Back Triceps Dips
My triceps respond really well to behind-the-back dips. This exercise never fails to get my arm muscles pumped. I usually do four or five sets to exhaustion. To include these in your prison workout all you need are two stable platforms of approximately equal height. (This exercise is sometimes referred to as Bench Dips or Reverse Push-Ups.)

How to Do Behind-the-Back Triceps Dips
Use a shoulder width grip on the edge of a desk or chair behind you. Place your feet on another chair or some platform in front of you. Your legs should be straight out. Inhale then bend your elbows and slowly lower your torso down as far as you can go. Push yourself back up and exhale at the end of the movement. If you lock your arms at the top of the movement this will focus the effort on your upper triceps. If you come back up just short of locking out your arms this emphasizes the lower triceps.
What Does it Work?
Behind-the-back triceps dips work the triceps and pectorl as well as the anterior deltoid. Simply put, adding a few sets of these puppies to your routine will help you build density in your arms.
Tips: Place a weight across your legs to increase resistance.
