4. Tricep Dips

Use a sturdy chair to help with this exercise. Both the shoulders and wrists are vulnerable when performing dips, so it is important to have a solid base of support. Your natural inclination when performing dips may be to either round or arch your back to get the full range of motion from your shoulders. It is important to keep your spine neutral, even if that means not fully lowering yourself to the ground. Flexibility will improve as you practice more.

Tricep dips work the triceps but don't isolate them. The upper chest muscles and the shoulders are also working in this exercise.
