Band Assisted Dips
Parallel bar dips with the support of a resistance band are an ideal way to learn or improve the technique for Dips. The band reduces body weight, making the exercise more accessible and allowing for proper execution. It is particularly beneficial for beginners to build the necessary strength in the chest, shoulders, and triceps without risking overuse injuries. Additionally, different resistance bands can be used to make the exercise easier or harder. This variation is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners looking to increase their number of repetitions.
