The Assisted Wide-Grip Chest Dip (Kneeling) exercise is a variation of the traditional chest dip that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. This exercise is performed using a dip machine with assistance to help support some of your body weight.
How to perform
To perform the Assisted Wide-Grip Chest Dip (Kneeling) exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Adjust the dip machine to your desired level of assistance by setting the weight stack or using bands if available.
2. Kneel on the platform of the dip machine, facing the handles with your hands gripping the wide-grip handles.
3. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down by bending your elbows. Your elbows should be out to the sides at a 45-degree angle.
4. Lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground or slightly lower.
5. Push through your palms and extend your arms to raise your body back up to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
7. Remember to keep a controlled movement throughout the exercise and avoid arching your back or swinging your body.
8. Once you have completed the set, carefully dismount from the dip machine.
As always, it is important to consult with a fitness professional before attempting any new exercise, especially if you have any pre-existing injuries or medical conditions.
