Triceps dips on the TRX Suspension Trainer are an effective exercise which isolates the triceps. To perform them, face away from the TRX and grab the handles behind your back with your palms facing towards eachother. Make sure the straps of the TRX are on the outside of your wrists. Position your feet in front of you so you are supporting your weight with your arms.

Take a deep breath and lower your torso towards the floor. Lower yourself as far as you comfortably can and exhale as your push yourself straight up, extending your arms and contracting your triceps before you repeat the movement.

Your foot position largely increases or decreases the difficulty of these dips. To increase the difficulty & resistance, extend your feet away from your body as far as possible. To decrease the difficulty move your feet back to where your legs are at about a 90degree angle.
