Warning: Do Not Do Triceps Dips To Get Rid Of Arm Fat

You are most likely having a somewhat challenging time picking the best exercises to get rid of arm fat. I know because many women are in this same situation.

When did choosing arm exercises become so perplexing? After all, every single guru out there seems to have a different view as to which exercises are the best.

And if the experts have different opinions, how are you supposed to pick the best exercises? In extreme cases, some women will suffer from analysis paralysis because of all the different viewpoints. Not good.

But I come to you with good news. I’ve already gone through all the information and sifted through all the marketing webs. And I’m ready to share my findings.

Thus, here is my critique of triceps dips to get rid of arm fat:

1. Summary: So many trainers recommend this exercise to women wishing to get toned arms. Unfortunately, this is a very dangerous exercise for the shoulder joint.

2. How to do it: Find a bench. Place your hands on its edge and both of your feet on the floor. Keep your chest perked up and your abs tight. Bend your arms and lower your body. Then lift yourself back up. Repeat.

3. Most common mistakes: Allowing the elbows to excessively shift around. Not keeping the back properly aligned along its axis. And using a heave hoeing motion to get the body moving.

4. To do or not to do: I recommend staying away from this exercise indefinitely. There is no reason to subject your shoulder joint to the potential strain of this movement. Ignore what everybody else is doing and stay away from this one. Seriously.

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.
