How to perform Band-Assisted Dip

1. Secure a long loop band across the parallel bars and test it before use.
2. Support one knee or foot in the band, lock the elbows, and depress the shoulders at the top.
3. Lean slightly forward and bend the elbows to lower only as far as the shoulders remain controlled.
4. Press the bars away to return to full elbow extension without bouncing from the band.
5. Exit the band carefully and repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
