alternative excerise for dip behind back

Kandee_Marie Posts: 4 Joined: 2004/06/11	2004/06/12, 05:48 PM This is my first week with freetrainers. I have a question as to the dip behind the back excerise for tricepts. I weigh 300 lbs and am 48 years old. I physically can not do this excerise, is there another excerise that I can use to replace this one that will help my tricepts and I can be successful at?
