Chest Dip (Assisted)
The chest dip in the assist machine, where the pad carries part of the bodyweight.
How to do it
Setup
In the assist machine, knees on the pad, torso leaned forward.
Steps
- Lower with the slight elbow flare and the chest stretch.
- Press up holding the lean.
- Trim the assist plate by plate over weeks.
Common mistakes
Going vertical on the pad: the lean must survive the assistance. Comfort assist forever: the machine should shrink to zero. Bouncing the bottom: strict turnarounds.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
