A counterweighted dip variation performed from a kneeling setup. It emphasizes triceps strength while machine assistance reduces the effective bodyweight load.
Kneel on the assistance platform and grip the parallel handles with an upright torso.
Bend the elbows to lower under control while keeping the shoulders down.
Press through the handles to straighten the elbows and return to the starting position.
Use enough machine assistance to keep the shoulders controlled and the elbows tracking comfortably.
Keep the torso upright and avoid leaning forward to turn the movement into a chest press.
Letting the shoulders rise toward the ears at the bottom of the repetition.
Using momentum or an excessive forward lean instead of controlled elbow extension.
