What matters on this model

  • Use this model for its intended movement: Dip Station.

Why use it

Use the Dip Station for cable exercises where pulley height, handle choice, and pull direction matter. Treat the listed adjustments as part of the exercise, not as optional details.

Muscles worked

  • Main load: Triceps.
  • Stabilization: trunk muscles help hold position.
  • Should not hurt: joints or lower back. If they do, reduce load and check setup.

How to set up

  1. For the Dip Station, first check the working supports and movement path.
  2. Set the pulley height or handle position for the exercise.
  3. Attach the correct handle and check the carabiner.
  4. Stand or sit so the cable follows the intended line of force.
  5. Choose a load that does not pull you out of the start position.

How to perform

  1. On the Dip Station, move smoothly through this model's working path.
  2. Keep the torso stable instead of rotating with the load.
  3. Use the same control on the working and return phases.
  4. Return the handle under control without releasing the stack.

Common mistakes

  • Using the wrong pulley height for the exercise.
  • Letting the cable rub the body or pull at a poor angle.
  • Swinging the torso instead of using the target muscle.
  • Letting the handle snap back at the end.
  • Using the Dip Station like a generic machine without checking its exact setup.
