How to do the Seated Dip Machine

  1. 1 Sit on the seated dip machine and choose an appropriate weight. Press your back against the seat’s back pad. When you sit down, you will see a handle on each side of you. Place your hands on the handles and straighten your wrists.
  2. 2 Tuck your elbows by your sides and relax your shoulders. Push the handles down, stopping before your arms are completely straight. Slowly lift the handles next to your torso, stopping when your arms form a 90-degree angle. Slowly return to the starting position.
