How to do Chest Dip Weighted Slow
- Grip the dip bars firmly with your palms facing inward and your arms fully extended. Position your body slightly forward, with your legs bent and crossed at the ankles, holding weights.
- Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows, allowing them to flare out slightly to the sides. Lower yourself in a controlled manner until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
- Push through your palms to slowly extend your elbows and lift your body back to the starting position. Maintain the forward lean throughout the movement to keep the focus on your chest muscles.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a slow and controlled pace throughout the exercise.
Form tips
- Ensure your body remains slightly forward to maximize chest activation and minimize strain on your shoulders.
- Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and control.
- Perform both the lowering and lifting phases slowly to increase muscle engagement and control.
- Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement; maintain a slight bend to keep tension on your muscles.
