Assisted Chest Dip

Beginner

Assisted dip machine (Graviton) that counterbalances your bodyweight. Allows beginners to learn the dip movement pattern and build strength progressively.

Start Pose

Stand on the assist platform, grip the dip bars

Select assistance weight on the stack

Lean torso slightly forward for chest emphasis

Finish Pose

Lower your body by bending the elbows

Elbows flare slightly outward

Descend to a comfortable depth and press back up

Training Cues

✓Use enough assistance to maintain the forward lean

✓Gradually reduce assistance as you get stronger

✓Focus on the chest dip technique — lean forward

Watch For This

Using too much assistance — reduces the training effect

Staying too upright — shifts work to triceps

Partial reps — use the full range you can manage

Pro Tip

The assisted dip machine is the best way to build to full bodyweight dips. Reduce assistance by 5–10 lbs per week until you can do bodyweight dips.
