Band-Assisted Dip
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Band
HOW TO PERFORM
- Loop the band across the dip bars and step or kneel into it.
- Support yourself at arms length with the shoulders down.
- Lower until the upper arms are about parallel to the floor, then press back up.
FORM TIPS
- Most of the help arrives at the bottom, so the lockout is still all you.
- Keep the shoulders from rolling forward at the bottom. Cut the depth before you let that happen.
TARGET MUSCLES
Primary
- Triceps
- Chest
Secondary
- Shoulders
