Description
Dips with leaning torso to accentuate the work of the pectorals.
01 · Setup
Set up the movement
- Adjust machine supports to stay aligned from start to finish.
- Torso slightly tilted forward, chest out.
- Shoulder blades kept low and stable.
- Elbows at a natural angle, neither together nor completely crossed.
- Take advantage of the assisted trajectory to maintain a regular range of motion.
02 · Execution
Perform the rep
- Descend in a controlled manner to a comfortable range of motion.
- Push to rise without losing the inclination of the torso.
- Keep the body covered and avoids any swinging.
Technique cue
Maintain a bent torso and controlled descent on each repetition.
Common mistakes- torso that straightens during the sets
- shoulders that rise towards the ears
- descent too fast
- partial range of motion
Safety notes
Risks of poor execution
- Guidance reduces the need for stabilization but does not protect against forced range of motion.
- Abrupt locking at the top can overload the elbows.
