Bench dips

With your hands fully extended and at shoulder width hold on to the edge of the bench that is placed behind you. Extend your legs and place them on another bench or on a chair that is placed in front of you. Now, as you inhale, slowly lower yourself by bending at your elbows until there is an angle between your forearms and your upper arms that is slightly smaller than 90 degrees. Now, as you exhale, push with your triceps and return to the starting position. If you find this to be easy you can ask someone to place weighted plates on the top of your lap. The bench dips is for your triceps but it also involves your shoulders and your chest.
