Description:

Preparation

Mount shoulder width dip bar, arms straight with shoulders above hands. Kneel on the pad, keeping torso straight throughout the entire movement.

Execution

Lower body until slight stretch is felt in shoulders. Push body up until arms are straight. Repeat.

N.B. The weight selection plate will subtract that much weight from a client's weight. Therefore a client with a bodyweight of 150 lbs, if they were to perform an assisted dip machine set at "50 lbs" would actually be lifting 100 lbs.

Common Error(s): Forward Head Posture | Torso collapses forward | Not engaging core
