Assisted Chest Dip

Description

To do assisted dips with a machine, follow these steps:

  1. Set the weight stack to the level of assistance you need. The more weight you use, the easier the exercise will be.
  2. Grasp the handles of the machine and extend your arms. Kneel on the sliding platform or step on it if it is a standing machine.
  3. Lower your body by bending your elbows until they form a 90-degree angle. Keep your chest up and your shoulders down.
  4. Push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
