Description

The assisted chest dip is a great exercise to target the chest and triceps while providing support to ensure proper form.

Starting Position

Start by kneeling on the pad and gripping the handles with arms extended, keeping your chest up and shoulders back.

Technical Execution

Lower your body by bending the elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the ground, then push yourself back up to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Focus on a full range of motion, ensuring you lower yourself until you feel a stretch in your chest and then fully extend your arms at the top.

Variations

You can adjust the assistance level, try different hand placements, or use different grips to target different muscle groups.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include arching the back, leaning too far forward, and not fully extending the arms.

Practical Advice

Focus on controlled movements and engage your core for stability throughout the exercise.

Additional Notes

You can adjust the assistance level to gradually work towards performing unassisted chest dips.
