Instructions
Preparation
- Stand on bench or elevation between parallel bars. Mount
wide dip
bar with oblique grip (bar diagonal under palm), arms straight
with shoulders above hands. Bend knees and hips slightly and
place forefoot on bench or elevation below.
Execution
- Lower body by bending arms allowing elbows to flare out to
sides. If necessary, use minimal assistance of lower body to
control descent allowing knees and hips to bend, keeping forefeet
in contact with bench or elevation. When slight stretch is felt
in chest or shoulders push body up until arms are straight and
repeat, again with minimal assistance from legs.
Comments
- If lower body is used for assistance, Hip
and Knee
Extensors muscles are utilized. Hips are bent more and body leans
forward more, as compared to Self-assisted
Triceps Dip.
Easier
- Resistance can be reduced by pushing with legs more or using
assisted machine.
Harder
- Standard Chest Dips can be performed for greater challenge.
