π TECHNIQUE TUESDAY π
Looking to build stronger arms, shoulders and chest? πͺ This week, Senior Fitness Coach Steve from Anytime Fitness 537 Bedok North is demonstrating the Assisted Dip and sharing tips to help you get the most out of this fantastic upper-body exercise.
The Assisted Dip Machine is a great option if you're working towards your first unassisted dip, or simply want to strengthen your pressing muscles with controlled resistance.
π₯ Key Benefits
β’ Targets the triceps, chest and shoulders
β’ Helps build upper-body pushing strength
β’ Great for beginners progressing towards bodyweight dips
β’ Allows you to control the level of assistance
β οΈ Common Mistakes
β’ Using too much momentum to complete the movement
β’ Shrugging your shoulders during the dip
β’ Going too quickly and losing control
π‘ Coach Steve's Tips
β’ Keep your core engaged and maintain a stable body position
β’ Keep your shoulders down and controlled throughout the movement
β’ Lower yourself slowly and press back up with control
β’ Choose an appropriate level of assistance so you can maintain good form
Remember, the more assistance you use, the easier the exercise becomes. As you get stronger, gradually reduce the assistance and work towards performing your first bodyweight dip! π₯
