"What I'm going to be performing is a triceps exercise called a triceps dip. What you want to do is you want to place your hands to, to your side of your body. Now you can place your feet as far out or as close in as you want, now the further out the harder the exercise. So you want to control it coming down that you; that's called dipping and then when you some up you want to squeeze that triceps and again you're stretching it by going down, and then by coming up you're flexing it; the whole time you want to make sure you control your posture and then you also want to control the pace because you don't want it to go too quickly or you're really not doing anything, you're not putting too much tension on the triceps. So this particular exercise you want to go ahead and do three sets to about eight to ten reps, and again if you want to bring it real close just starting off it gives less stress to triceps and just continue the motion for about three sets to eight to ten reps; and that's how you do the triceps dip."
