Band Assisted Dips

In the body weight dip video, I go over the dip and the various body positions while doing the dip and I really speak in detail about how productive this exercise is in developing upper body mass and triceps muscularity.  But what if you can not perform a dip because you might weight a lot or you just do not have the upper body strength to perform this exercise?

This video was put together to show how to implement and use a band to assist you in doing dips.  See the hardest part of the dip is in the down position.  This is also when the band is stretched out the most so it will take the most amount of your body weight off.  When you come up through the range of motion; the band tension lessons and it gets harder to do but you are also in a stronger position when you get closer to lockout with the triceps.

So the band really becomes an essential part of this exercise as far as being able to execute the rep.  It will also help you get more reps, even if you are able to get one or two body weight reps and you want to get some higher volume to reach hypertrophy of the triceps.  The band will allow you to get this good burn in achieving a high volume set.
