Position

Adjust the seat height and hand grips on the dip machine to suit your height and comfort level.

Movement

  • Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and press down to lift your body off the ground.
  • Lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor, then press back up to the starting position.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you press back up.

Tips

  • Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the movement to maintain proper form.
  • Avoid using momentum to lift your body, as this can strain the shoulders and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
  • Adjust the resistance on the machine to suit your fitness level, starting with a light weight and gradually increasing as you build strength.
