Nautilus Leverage Tricep Dip – Commercial Plate-Loaded Triceps Machine

Product Description

The Nautilus Leverage Tricep Dip is a commercial plate-loaded strength machine designed to provide focused triceps training through a controlled, guided dip movement. Unlike a traditional parallel-bar dip station, the Leverage Tricep Dip uses a guided movement path and leverage-based resistance system to create a consistent training experience.

The machine features independent movement arms, allowing users to train both arms together or work each arm individually. This unilateral capability can help users identify and address differences in upper-body strength while maintaining a controlled movement pattern.

A two-bar linkage produces the Nautilus Cam load curve, designed to provide a resistance profile that changes throughout the movement. Medium knurled grips provide a secure hand position, while the plate-loaded design allows facilities and experienced lifters to progressively increase resistance using standard weight plates.

Premium Features

Plate-Loaded Resistance

The Nautilus Leverage Tricep Dip uses plate-loaded resistance, allowing users to select their desired training load and progressively increase resistance as strength develops.

Independent Arm Movement

Each dip arm can operate independently or together, giving users the option to perform bilateral or unilateral training. This is useful for addressing left-to-right strength differences.

Nautilus Cam Load Curve

The two-bar linkage is designed to produce the Nautilus Cam load curve, providing a changing resistance profile throughout the exercise rather than a simple free-weight movement.

Guided Movement Path

The fixed dip path provides a consistent and repeatable movement pattern, making the exercise easier to learn and program across a commercial facility.

Medium Knurled Grips

Knurled handles provide a secure, textured grip during pressing movements and help users maintain control throughout each repetition.

Commercial-Grade Construction

Built as part of the Nautilus Leverage line, the Tricep Dip is designed for commercial strength-training environments and frequent use.

Low-Profile Footprint

The machine measures approximately 64 inches wide by 62 inches long by 38 inches high, giving facilities a dedicated triceps machine without an excessively tall frame.

Defined Movement

The machine-guided design helps users concentrate on pressing through the triceps instead of balancing their body on a traditional dip station.

Specifications

Current published specifications list the machine at 64" W × 62" L × 38" H and 353 lb.

Why Choose the Nautilus Leverage Tricep Dip?

The Nautilus Leverage Tricep Dip gives commercial gyms a dedicated machine for triceps-focused pressing without requiring users to perform unsupported bodyweight dips.

Its combination of plate-loaded resistance, independent arms, guided movement, and Nautilus leverage technology creates a machine that can be used for both bilateral and unilateral upper-body training.

The independent arm design is particularly useful for lifters who want to train each side separately. The guided path also makes the exercise more repeatable, which can be beneficial when programming the machine into structured strength or hypertrophy workouts.

Muscles Worked

Primary Muscles

• Triceps Brachii – The primary muscle group responsible for extending the elbows during the dip movement.
• Lateral Head of the Triceps – Contributes strongly during pressing and elbow extension.
• Long Head of the Triceps – Works to extend the elbow and stabilize the upper arm.
• Medial Head of the Triceps – Provides additional elbow-extension strength throughout the movement.

Secondary Muscles

• Pectoralis Major – Assists during the pressing motion.
• Anterior Deltoids – Contribute to upper-arm movement and stabilization.
• Upper Back Muscles – Help stabilize the torso and shoulder complex.
• Core Muscles – Provide supporting stability while the user performs the exercise.

The manufacturer describes the Leverage Dip as a compound upper-body movement that primarily targets all three heads of the triceps while involving the chest, shoulders, and upper back as stabilizers.

Benefits

Targeted Triceps Development

Provides a dedicated movement for building strength and muscle in the triceps.

Progressive Resistance

The plate-loaded format allows users to increase resistance as their strength improves.

Bilateral and Unilateral Training

Independent arms allow users to train both arms together or separately, creating more programming flexibility.

Helps Address Strength Imbalances

Single-arm training can help users identify and work through left-to-right differences in pressing strength.

Controlled Movement

The guided movement path provides a consistent exercise pattern from repetition to repetition.

Secure Grip

Knurled handles help provide a firm grip during heavy pressing sets.

Commercial Durability

Heavy-duty construction makes the machine appropriate for demanding commercial strength floors.

Efficient Upper-Body Training

The compound dip movement allows users to train the triceps while also involving the chest and shoulders.
