Weighted Chest Dip

Description

Weighted dips are a variation of the standard dip exercise that involves adding extra resistance to your body. Here are the steps to perform weighted dips:

  1. Attach a weight belt or a weighted vest to your body. Make sure the weight is comfortable and secure.
  2. Find a pair of parallel bars or dip stations that are slightly wider than your shoulders.
  3. Grip the bars firmly and lift yourself up until your arms are fully extended and your body is straight.
  4. Lower yourself slowly by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Keep your elbows close to your sides and your chest slightly forward.
  5. Push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
