Straight Bar Dip — triceps compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Straight Bar Dip

Compound · Weight × reps

Support yourself above a secure straight bar with hands just outside the hips, elbows locked, and the bar in front of the body, then lean the chest slightly over it. The straight-bar dip trains the triceps, chest, anterior shoulders, and support strength used above a bar, including in muscle-up transitions. First master parallel-bar dips and top support, use a bar at safe height, and limit depth if the front of the shoulder feels strained.
