How to do the Seated Chest Dip Machine

  1. 1 Sit in the machine, press your back against the pad, and place your feet flat on the floor. If there is a seat belt, secure it across your upper thighs. Grasp the handles using a closed, neutral grip (palms facing your body) with your elbows flexed and your arms near the sides of your torso.
