"This is a great sturdy unit. I
bought it because of its size
and price. I was concerned
about the height and width,
but after I got it, it was fine."

I have found the Ultimate Body Press to be the most versatile
and affordable dip station on the market today. Its design is
unique in that the width of the hand grips can be varied which
allows for better accommodation for users of different body types
as well as provide a variation in training stimuli to maximize
muscle growth. Unlike other dip stations, the Ultimate Body
Press can also be utilized for other important strengthening
exercises such as inverted rows. This is important in that the
inclusion of inverted rows (in conjunction with dips in a training

I utilize the Ultimate Body Press with many of my physical
therapy patients and sports performance clients. I have found
the use of this device to be an excellent way for increasing the
strength of the entire upper body and abdominal musculature.
Many fitness enthusiasts focus on training the muscles on the
front of their body or the muscles that they can see in the mirror.
This will eventually lead to a strength imbalance with the less
trained back muscles that can result in future injuries. It is
important to maintain a balance between the pushing
movements, such as dips and presses, and the pulling
movements, such as rows and chin ups. Unlike other dip
stations on the market, this piece of equipment allows you to
perform both types of movements. Both the unfit and athletic
populations can use the Ultimate Body Press. Simple
progressions can allow the relatively untrained individual to
gradually increase their strength so that they can eventually
move their own body weight without assistance.

Dips and inverted rows are closed chain exercises which are safe and effective exercises for
strengthening as they provide less stress to the shoulder joint through joint compression and low
level activation of the rotator cuff. Dips will build your anterior deltoids, pectoralis major/ minor, and
triceps muscles whereas inverted rows will build your posterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and
biceps muscles. Together these exercises will give you an upper body that is both functional and
resistant to injury.

Unlike other dip machines, the Ultimate Body Press
takes up very little space. This allows it to be stored in the
home which can help increase exercise compliance.
From my own research, the Ultimate Body Press is the
least expensive dip machine on the market with the
majority of dip machines costing 3 to 4 times as much. I
highly recommend the Ultimate Body Press to anyone
who is looking for an affordable, portable dip station that
can be utilized for some of the most important and
effective strengthening exercises for upper body and
abdominal development.
