It’s your tendons. They take significantly longer to strengthen than muscles. Isometric work helps but it can still be a few weeks before that feeling goes away. Try locking out your arms at the top of dip position and just hold your body weight up till failure. Speaking from experience

could low-key be because of the handles, the gym I go to has straighter ones and they work great

that wide grip might be the culprit. You'll be much more stable with grip points closer to torso. Without the assistance it's good to lean forward as well. Kinda like a pushup but in air jail

Grab the handles at the point it’s closest to you, so your elbows bend towards the rear, aiming behind you. Your current grip isn’t the best and it could lead to the issue you’re having. Is it pain across your whole arm or just the forearm?

remember stack joints the handles being that wide dont allow everything to properly stack and align and the more weight u add the more u will feel it

Maybe try bringing your arms closer together by moving up on the handles. It’ll probably make it more comfortable for you.

Dips suck for tricep. Use that for chest and when u do lean forward more. Too much weight on shoulder for triceps

From someone who does weighted dips perfect form , start off with push ups master that first then move on to supported slowly decrease the weight don’t try to do it or feel something get use to it first then gradually move up . Thank me later

you're hyperextending your arms on the way up and your tendons are probably snapping (stop doing that)

wombatwrangler69 :
so, biomechanically...you probably shouldnt be feeling a "snapping" maybe a different exercise hitting the same areas is a better idea
