What Chest Dip (Assisted) trains
Technique
How to do the Chest Dip (Assisted)
- Set the desired counterweight on the assisted dip machine. Grasp the dip handles with your palms facing inward and place your knees or feet on the assistance platform.
- Start with your arms fully extended, then lean your torso slightly forward.
- Lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor, keeping the forward lean to emphasize your chest.
- Push through your palms to extend your elbows and return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Lean forward slightly throughout to shift the emphasis onto your chest rather than your triceps.
- Reduce the assistance weight gradually as you get stronger.
- Lower yourself slowly and with control to maximize muscle engagement.
- Exhale as you push up and inhale as you lower yourself.
