Learn How To Do Assisted Chest Dip And Its Benefits

HOW TO DO ASSISTED CHEST DIP

  1. Begin by finding a dip machine at your gym. These machines typically have padded support for your forearms and adjustable weight assistance.

  2. Adjust the weight assistance on the machine to a level that matches your current strength and fitness level. The higher the assistance, the easier the exercise will be.

  3. Stand on the platform provided by the machine, and grip the handles with your palms facing downward.

  4. Lower yourself into the dip position, allowing your elbows to bend until your upper arms are parallel to the floor or slightly below. Your torso should be slightly forward, and your chest should be open.

  5. Exhale and push yourself back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms but not locking your elbows.

  6. Repeat the motion for the desired number of repetitions.

Assisted Chest Dip – Benefits:

The assisted chest dip is an excellent exercise for individuals who are new to chest dips or may not yet have the strength to perform them with their body weight alone. Here are some of the key benefits:

  1. Gradual Strength Progression: By using the assistance provided by the machine, you can gradually increase your strength and work towards performing unassisted chest dips.

  2. Targeted Chest and Triceps: This exercise effectively targets the pectoral muscles (chest) and triceps, helping to build strength and definition in these areas.

  3. Controlled Movement: The dip machine allows for controlled and supported movements, reducing the risk of injury and ensuring proper form.

  4. Customizable Assistance: You can adjust the level of assistance on the machine to match your current strength level, allowing for personalized progression.

  5. Closed Kinetic Chain Exercise: Dips are a closed kinetic chain exercise, meaning your hands remain fixed while your body moves. This engagement of multiple muscle groups makes dips highly effective for overall upper body development.

Incorporate the assisted chest dip into your fitness routine to build upper body strength, particularly in the chest and triceps. As you progress and become stronger, you can gradually reduce the assistance level until you are able to perform unassisted chest dips, which provide even greater benefits for upper body strength and muscle development.
