Pro Series, Assisted Chin / Dip GymFitnessUk
The Pro Series Assisted Chin/Dip machine is a versatile piece of gym equipment that allows users to perform assisted chin-ups and dips. Here's how you can use the Pro Series Assisted Chin/Dip machine for these exercises:
Assisted Chin-ups:
-
Adjustment: Start by adjusting the assistance weight on the machine. Choose a weight that provides enough support for you to perform the exercise with proper form.
-
Grip: Grab the overhead handles with an underhand grip (palms facing you) and hang at arm's length. Your arms should be fully extended, and your feet should be supported on the platform provided by the machine.
-
Execution:
- Inhale: Pull yourself upward, bringing your chin towards the bar. Keep your chest up, and your elbows should point downward.
- Exhale: Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position with controlled movement.
-
Repetitions: Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions, usually between 6 to 12 reps per set, depending on your fitness level.
Assisted Dips:
-
Adjustment: Adjust the machine according to your height and choose an appropriate assistance weight.
-
Grip: Grab the parallel bars with an overhand grip (palms facing down) and lift yourself up, supporting your body on your arms. Your arms should be fully extended, and your feet should be off the ground.
-
Execution:
- Inhale: Lower your body by bending your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the ground. Keep your body upright and your chest up.
- Exhale: Push yourself back up to the starting position using your triceps and chest muscles.
-
Repetitions: Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions, similar to assisted chin-ups.
Tips:
- Use proper form to avoid straining your shoulders or back.
- Engage your core muscles to maintain stability during the exercises.
- Gradually increase the weight or decrease the assistance as you become stronger.
- Consult a fitness professional if you're unsure about your form or the appropriate weight to use.
