A triceps dip exercise machine, comprising: a main frame having a user support mount, a forward end, and a rear end; a user support frame movably mounted on the user support mount for supporting a user in an exercise position and movable between a start position and an end position; an exercise arm movably mounted on one of the frames, the exercise arm having handles for gripping by a user in performing a triceps dip exercise and being movable in a first direction between an exercise start position and an exercise end position, the handles being positioned on opposite sides of the user support frame at a first elevation in the exercise start position and at a second elevation lower than the first elevation and below at least part of the user support frame in the exercise end position; a connecting linkage connecting movement of the exercise arm to movement of the user support frame, whereby movement of the exercise arm from the start to the end position simultaneously moves the user support frame from the start to the end position; and a load which provides exercise resistance to movement of at least one of the user support frame, exercise arm, and connecting linkage, the exercise resistance being provided only when the exercise arm is moved in the first direction.
