REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Controlled partial-range dip

These steps are written specifically for the Controlled partial-range dip. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Controlled partial-range dip. Support yourself between parallel bars with elbows straight, shoulders set, and feet clear or assisted.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Bend the elbows back and lower the body while the chest travels slightly forward.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Use the smaller named range and reverse before position or control changes.

Controlled partial-range dip is a regression of Parallel-Bar Dip. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The bars let the upper arms travel behind the torso under load, creating a deep pressing position that a floor press cannot reach. Depth is earned only when the shoulders stay organized and the bottom reverses cleanly.
