Why dips overload the triceps better than most presses?

Greater elbow extension under bodyweight load

Longer triceps moment arm at bottom

Less chest involvement than flat presses

Bodyweight plus load overloads triceps lockout

Deep range hits triceps strongest lengths

Bottom stretch places triceps under tension

Presses limit triceps at long lengths

Lockout demand higher with weighted dips

Gravity aligns perfectly against elbow extension

Chest fatigue minimal compared to pressing

Dips allow for much heavier loading

Presses limit weight dips allow more

Shoulders fail before triceps in presses
