Do Not Do Triceps Dips To Tone Your Arms Because The Risks Are Too High

You might be having a difficult time choosing the right exercises to get rid of arm fat. If this is the case, rest assured that you’re not the only one.

How did things get so confusing? Well, it seems as though every expert out there has a different opinion as to what arm exercises for women are best.

And if the experts can’t agree, how are you supposed to figure things out? Even worse, some women simply give up before getting started because of information overwhelm.

But not all hope is lost. You see, I’ve already been there and done that. And I’m ready to share my conclusions.

So without further delay, here is my review of triceps dips:

1. Snapshot: This is the single most recommended exercise for women that want toned arms. And the sad truth is that it’s also one of the most dangerous.

2. Technical overview: Put your hands on the edge of a bench. Keep both heels of your feet firmly planted into the floor. Slowly lower your body by bending your arms at the elbows. Then bring your body back up.

3. Frequent mistakes: Using momentum to move the body. Not keeping the elbows locked in place. Letting the back arch out of its natural alignment. And not going all the way up and all the way down.

4. Final word: The risk is not worth it. Do not do this exercise if you with to maintain the integrity of your shoulder joint. There are equally effective exercises that are not as risky as this one.

Getting rid of arm fat doesn’t have to involve the risk of injury. So please do not do an exercise just because everyone else is doing it or because some trainer told you to do it. Always do your research before subjecting your body to any type of physical stress.
