Band Assisted Dip

1. Loop a resistance band securely around the dip bars.

2. Step onto the assistance platform (if available) and put your knees onto the band, balancing your weight evenly.

3. Grip the bars with your hands and push up to straighten your arms, lifting your body until your arms are fully extended. This is your starting position.

4. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows until they make about a 90-degree angle. Keep your elbows close to your body and your head neutral.

5. Push down into the bars, extending your elbows to return to the starting position. The band will help you lift your body back up.

6. Perform the desired number of reps, keeping the movements controlled and smooth.

7. Carefully step off the platform and release the band when you have completed your set.

Remember to start with a light resistance band and progress to a heavier band or decrease assistance as you build strength in order to maintain proper form and get the most benefit from the exercise. Always warm up before strength training and consult a fitness professional if you're new to exercise or have any concerns about your health and physical fitness.
