Beschrijving
Assisted Chest Dips is a compound exercise performed on an assisted dip machine that targets the chest muscles. This movement effectively works the lower chest, triceps muscles and front shoulders. Thanks to the counterweight support provided by the machine, it is an ideal starting point for athletes who cannot yet do dips with their own body weight. When performed by leaning the body forward, the load on the chest muscles increases. Gradual strength gains can be achieved by reducing the assistance weight over time. It is one of the most functional movements for developing upper body strength.
Assisted Chest Dips Hoe te Doen
- 1
Step onto the platform or knee support of the assisted dip machine and grasp the parallel bars at shoulder width
- 2
Select the appropriate counterweight, start with a higher support weight initially
- 3
Lean your torso slightly forward, this angle causes the chest muscles to work more
- 4
Inhale and lower your body slowly by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the ground
- 5
Exhale and push yourself up by squeezing your chest muscles, stop before fully locking elbows
- 6
Keep your shoulders down throughout the movement and avoid swinging
