Weighted dip

Push · Parallel bars or a dip station, and a dip belt or weighted vest

Quick cues

Primary: what the exercise is chosen to train. Secondary: the muscles that help or hold you steady.

Attach the weight to a dip belt (or wear a vest) and press up on the bars to straight arms.
Let the weight hang still, then set the shoulders down.
Lower until the upper arms are about parallel to the floor.
Press back up to straight arms.

Adding load before strict reps are solid — be able to do 10 clean bodyweight dips first.
Swinging the weight — start each rep from a still position.
Cutting the range short — reach the same depth as your bodyweight reps.

If you're carrying an injury, get it cleared before doing this. General fitness guidance, not medical advice — stop if anything hurts.
