The Lever Seated Dip exercise is a type of strength training exercise that primarily targets the muscles in the triceps, chest, and shoulders. It is performed using a piece of equipment known as a lever seated dip machine, which typically consists of two vertical bars and a seat in between.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Seated Dip exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Adjust the seat on the lever seated dip machine so that your feet can comfortably reach the footrests and your hands can comfortably grip the handles.
2. Sit on the seat with your back straight and your feet securely placed on the footrests.
3. Grip the handles of the machine with your palms facing inward and your arms fully extended.
4. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows and allowing them to flare out slightly to the sides.
5. Lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the floor or slightly below, making sure to keep your back straight and your core engaged.
6. Push through your palms to straighten your arms and return 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.
9. It is important to use controlled movements and focus on engaging the targeted muscles throughout the exercise to maximize its effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury.
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.
