Weighted three bench dips

The weighted three bench dip is an advanced triceps exercise that involves using three benches and additional weight to increase resistance. The exercise primarily targets the triceps but also engages the chest and shoulders. It is performed by placing your hands on one bench behind you, your feet on another bench in front of you, and a weight on your lap, then dipping your body down and pushing back up.
