The Assisted Chest Dip (Kneeling) is a variation of the traditional chest dip exercise that uses a machine to assist the user in performing the movement. This exercise primarily targets the chest muscles, along with the triceps and shoulders.
How to perform
To perform the Assisted Chest Dip (Kneeling) exercise, follow these steps:1. Adjust the weight on the assisted dip machine to an appropriate level for your strength and skill level.
2. Step onto the platform provided and grip the handles of the machine with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
3. Kneel down on the platform with your knees resting on the padded supports.
4. Keeping your chest up and shoulders back, lower your body down by bending your elbows and allowing them to flare out to the sides.
5. Lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the floor or slightly below.
6. Push through your hands and engage your chest muscles to push yourself back up to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
8. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push yourself up and inhaling as you lower yourself down.
It is important to maintain proper form during the Assisted Chest Dip (Kneeling) exercise to avoid strain or injury. If you are new to this exercise, it is recommended to start with a lighter weight and gradually increase the resistance as you become more comfortable with the movement.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
