Assisted Wide-Grip Chest Dip (Kneeling)
The assisted chest dip on the machine's wide handles, kneeling on the pad; the wide hands move more of the dip to the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Knees on the assist pad, hands on the wide handles, arms locked, torso leaning forward.
Steps
- Lower until the chest stretches, elbows out to the sides.
- Keep the forward lean all the way down.
- Press up to lockout without standing the torso upright.
Common mistakes
Grip so wide the shoulders ache at the bottom: take the inner handles. Sinking past a comfortable stretch: stop there. Keeping the same assist for months: take plates off as the reps come easy.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
