- Lower your body slowly by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
- Push through your palms to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
Technical Tips
- Maintain a slight forward lean to engage the chest.
- Avoid locking out the elbows at the top of the movement.
- Keep the core engaged throughout the exercise.

Description
Assisted Machine Dips are an effective compound exercise that targets the upper body, particularly the triceps and chest. Designed for users at all fitness levels, this movement utilizes a guided machine to reduce body weight resistance, making it ideal for beginners or those recovering from injury. The assistance allows for safe execution of the dip motion with controlled form, minimizing strain on the joints while maximizing muscle engagement. By lowering and pressing the body upward using the dip mechanism, users can build strength, improve muscle tone, and enhance upper-body endurance. The machine-assisted setup also enables progressive overload by adjusting the counterweight, helping users to gradually increase resistance as they gain strength. Additionally, this exercise supports proper alignment and stabilization, which is essential for developing foundational pushing strength. Assisted Machine Dips are commonly included in fitness programs for muscle building, toning, and functional strength development, and they serve as a key step toward performing unassisted bodyweight dips.
