Pull-ups and dips are two of the highest-value upper body bodyweight exercises — pull-ups for lat width, back thickness, and functional pulling strength; dips for triceps mass, lower chest development, and pushing strength. The DRE8008 makes both exercises productive and progressively loaded for users who cannot yet complete unassisted reps, while also serving advanced users by reducing assistance to near zero as strength develops, eventually allowing full unassisted pull-ups and dips from the same machine with the platform simply providing a starting position rather than meaningful counterweight assistance.

Who this machine is built for

Serious Home Gym Builders
You want pull-up and dip training available in your home gym regardless of your current strength level, and you want a machine that remains useful as your strength progresses toward unassisted reps. The DRE8008's 210 lb counterweight covers assistance from heavy support for early progressions down to minimal assistance for near-bodyweight training, all from one station at 69"×47". The three-grip pull-up bar and rotatable adjustable dip station cover every grip and targeting variation both exercises offer.

Beginners and General Fitness Members
Pull-ups and dips are among the most effective upper body exercises but require a minimum level of relative strength that many users do not initially have — which is precisely the barrier the DRE8008 removes. By selecting a higher counterweight, the effective bodyweight to be lifted is reduced to a manageable level from the first session, and the assistance is progressively reduced as strength builds until the user is performing full unassisted reps. The standing platform's natural movement arc means the strength built on the DRE8008 transfers directly to unassisted pull-up and dip ability.

Commercial Gym Owners and Operators
An assisted chin/dip machine is one of the most essential stations for a commercial facility because it allows the full membership — from beginners who cannot complete a single unassisted pull-up to advanced users who need minimal assistance — to train the same exercises from the same machine. The DRE8008's standing platform design provides easier entry and exit than traditional kneeling designs, which speeds user transitions between sets and reduces the operational friction that kneeling machines create for shorter users or users with limited mobility.

Personal Trainers and Private Studios
Pull-ups and dips are staple exercises in effective upper body programming that trainers rely on for both hypertrophy and functional strength outcomes. The DRE8008 allows trainers to include both exercises in programmes for clients at any strength level — from a complete beginner using 140 lbs of assistance to a strong client using 10 lbs of assistance. The three pull-up grip positions cover the full upper back programming variation a trainer needs, and the wide-to-narrow dip rotation covers both chest and triceps dip targets from the same station within the same session.

University and College Athletic Departments
Pull-up and dip strength are standard measures and training targets in athletic upper body conditioning programmes. The DRE8008 allows the full size and strength range of a team roster to train pull-ups and dips in the same session at appropriate assistance levels simultaneously. As athlete strength increases across a training block, the assistance is progressively reduced — making the DRE8008 useful for the entire progression from early pre-season conditioning through peak competition strength.

Physical Therapists and Sports Medicine Practitioners
Assisted pull-up and dip training provides a way to introduce compound upper body pulling and pushing movements in rehabilitation settings at loads that the patient can safely manage before progressing to unassisted bodyweight. The standing platform's natural movement trajectory is preferable to kneeling alternatives for patients with knee sensitivity, and the assistance can be set high enough to reduce the effective load to a clinically safe level during early return-to-activity phases. Exercise selection, load, and range of motion must always follow the clinical programme specific to each patient's condition and recovery stage.

How to setup and use

The counterweight stack works inversely to standard selectorized machines — selecting a higher weight on the stack provides greater assistance and reduces the effective bodyweight lifted, making the exercise easier. Selecting a lower weight provides less assistance and increases the effort required. A 210 lb person selecting 100 lbs of assistance effectively lifts 110 lbs of their own bodyweight. Reducing the counterweight over sessions progressively increases the demand until the user approaches unassisted strength.

Setting Up for Assisted Pull-Up

Select the counterweight using the stack pin — start with enough assistance to complete 8–12 clean reps with full range of motion.
Select the grip position on the three-position pull-up bar: the outermost grips for wide pronated pull-ups, the middle grips for neutral mid-width pulls, or the innermost grips for narrow supinated chin-ups.
Use the dual-level platform to access the bar. Step onto the lower platform first, then the upper if needed. Grip the bar firmly at the selected position.
Step onto the assistance platform and allow the counterweight to support your standing weight on the platform before beginning.
Pull upward by driving the elbows downward and toward the sides, contracting the lats and upper back through the full arc until the chin clears the bar or the chest approaches bar height.
Lower under full control through the complete eccentric arc before the next rep.

Setting Up for Assisted Dip

Select the counterweight for the dip — dip assistance requirements typically differ from pull-up assistance requirements, so adjust accordingly.
Rotate the dip handles to the desired width — wider for chest-focused dips, narrower for triceps-focused dips. Confirm the handles are locked at the selected width before loading.
Use the dual-level platform to position over the dip handles and grip firmly with both hands.
Step onto the assistance platform and bend the knees or stand on the platform, allowing the counterweight to take the appropriate portion of bodyweight before beginning.
Lower the body by bending the elbows until the upper arms are approximately parallel to the floor, then press upward to full arm extension.
For chest-emphasis dips, allow a slight forward torso lean during the lowering phase. For triceps emphasis, keep the torso more upright throughout.

The Dynasty Fitness DRE8008 Assisted Chin/Dip is a selectorized counterweight machine that makes pull-ups and dips accessible to every user regardless of current strength level — selecting more weight on the 210 lb stack increases the assistance the standing platform provides, reducing the effective bodyweight the user lifts and allowing progressive strength building from the first session. A three-position pull-up bar with biomechanically calculated grip angles, a rotatable adjustable dip station that switches between chest and triceps width, and a standing platform design that preserves the natural movement arc of both exercises make the DRE8008 the complete assisted upper body bodyweight training station in the DRE80 series.

Standing platform assistance transmits counterweight force through the ankle and knee joints in a way that minimises interference with the natural pull-up and dip trajectory — producing a more biomechanically correct assisted movement than kneeling pad alternatives, with easier entry and exit
Three-position pull-up bar with biomechanically calculated grip angles covers wide pronated pulls for upper back breadth, neutral mid-grip for balanced lat and biceps loading, and narrow supinated chin-ups for increased biceps contribution — full pull-up variety from one bar in one machine
Rotatable dip station switches between a wider grip for chest and lower pectoral emphasis and a narrower grip for concentrated triceps work with adjustable width to fit different shoulder proportions — two distinct dip targets without changing machines
Dual-level anti-slip entry/exit platform solves the access challenge for users of different heights, and the counterweight system means a complete beginner and an advanced athlete can both train pull-ups and dips productively on the same machine by selecting different assistance levels

Key Features

Standing Platform Assistance

The DRE8008 uses a standing assistance platform rather than the kneeling pad design of traditional assisted chin/dip machines. The standing design transmits the counterweight force through the ankle and knee joints while the user stands on the platform, which keeps the body in a more natural upright alignment than the kneeling position that places the lower leg behind the body and slightly changes the pull-up trajectory. The standing position also makes entry and exit significantly easier — stepping onto and off a platform is simpler and faster than kneeling and unfolding from a kneeling pad, particularly for users with limited knee mobility or in high-throughput commercial environments where the machine is used frequently.

Three-Position Pull-Up Bar

The pull-up bar provides three grip positions whose angles are each biomechanically calculated to align with the natural muscle force curve of the target muscles at that grip width. The wide pronated grip extends the shoulder into a wide external position before the pull, which maximises the lat's horizontal adduction range and builds the breadth and thickness of the outer lat visible from the rear. The neutral mid-grip balances lat and biceps recruitment through the pulling arc. The narrow supinated grip for chin-ups places the forearm in full supination, which allows the biceps brachii to contribute maximally through the combined shoulder adduction and elbow flexion of the chin-up movement. Three distinct grip angles in one bar means pull-up programme variety does not require separate equipment.

Adjustable Rotatable Dip Station

The dip handles rotate and adjust width to switch between two distinct dip exercise targets — wide grip for chest and lower pectoral emphasis, narrow grip for triceps isolation — without dismounting or tool changes. The rotation mechanism also adjusts to fit different shoulder widths, ensuring the grip position is comfortable and mechanically correct for each user's shoulder proportions rather than forcing a standard width that only fits the average shoulder. This width adjustment specifically addresses the discomfort that fixed-width dip stations create for users whose shoulder width differs from the machine's design point, which is one of the most common reasons users avoid dip training on conventional equipment.

Dual-Level Entry Platform

Two platform levels at different heights allow users of different statures to access the pull-up bar and dip handles comfortably. Taller users step onto the lower level and reach the bar or handles directly. Shorter users use the upper level to reach the correct starting height. Both platform surfaces use anti-slip surface treatment that maintains secure footing during the bodyweight loading of both exercises. The dual-level design removes the jump-and-grab start that single-level platforms force on shorter users, which is both less safe and less mechanically efficient at the beginning of a set.

Q: How does the counterweight assistance work on the DRE8008?
A: The counterweight stack works opposite to a standard selectorized machine. When you select a weight on the stack, that weight counterbalances a portion of your bodyweight through the assistance platform. A higher stack selection means more counterweight assistance and less effective bodyweight you must lift — making the exercise easier. A lower stack selection reduces the counterweight and increases the effective bodyweight — making the exercise harder. To find your starting weight, select enough assistance to complete 8 to 12 controlled reps with full range of motion. Reduce the assistance over sessions as your strength increases, eventually progressing toward unassisted pull-ups and dips.

Q: What is the difference between the three pull-up grip positions?
A: The wide pronated grip places the hands far apart in an overhand position, which puts the shoulder into external rotation before the pull begins and maximises the horizontal adduction component of the lat's pulling path — building the breadth and thickness of the outer latissimus dorsi visible from the rear. The neutral mid-grip positions the hands at shoulder width with a neutral wrist, balancing lat and biceps recruitment for a general upper back development stimulus. The narrow supinated grip for chin-ups places the forearm in full supination, which allows the biceps brachii to contribute strongly through the combined shoulder adduction and elbow flexion of the chin-up — producing the highest combined lat and biceps loading of the three grip options.

Q: Why does the DRE8008 use a standing platform rather than a kneeling pad?
A: The kneeling pad on traditional assisted chin/dip machines positions the lower leg behind the body at a bent-knee angle, which slightly alters the body's position during the pull-up and creates a less natural movement arc than a fully upright body position. The standing platform of the DRE8008 keeps the body in a natural upright orientation through the ankle and knee joint, which preserves the pull-up trajectory that unassisted bodyweight training produces. This means the strength gained on the DRE8008 transfers more directly to unassisted pull-up and dip performance. The standing design also makes getting on and off the machine faster and easier — an important practical advantage in high-throughput commercial environments.

Q: How do I switch the dip station between chest and triceps focus?
A: The dip handles rotate and adjust width via the turn handle mechanism. For chest-focused dips, rotate the handles to the wider position and allow a slight forward torso lean during the lowering phase — the combination of wider grip and forward lean increases the lower chest's involvement in the dip. For triceps-focused dips, rotate to the narrower position and keep the torso more upright throughout — this removes the chest's mechanical advantage and concentrates the stimulus on the triceps. The width also adjusts to match each user's specific shoulder width, which is the key fit detail that prevents shoulder discomfort during the dip.

Q: Can advanced users who can already do pull-ups benefit from the DRE8008?
A: Yes. Advanced users can reduce the counterweight assistance to near zero, using the platform only as a convenient entry and exit point for unassisted pull-ups from the bar. The three grip positions and adjustable dip station still provide training variety unavailable from a standard pull-up bar. Advanced users can also use the machine for slow eccentric work — setting a lower assistance for the lowering phase to make the eccentric harder — or for high-volume training where maintaining full range of motion across later sets requires small amounts of assistance to complete the programmed rep count.

Q: What Dynasty Fitness machines pair with the DRE8008 for a complete back and upper body training area?
A: The DRE8008 covers pull-ups and chin-ups for vertical pulling and dips for triceps and chest pressing. Pair it with the Adjustable Seated Cable Row DRE8005 for horizontal cable row work that trains the lats and mid-back through the horizontal pulling pattern. The Biceps Curl DRE8006 adds dedicated biceps isolation to complement the biceps involvement in the chin-up. The Seated Dips Press DRE8007 adds selectorized dip press for users who want loaded dip training beyond their bodyweight. The ISO-Lateral Chest Press DRE8001 extends the pushing side of the upper body training area for the sessions where the dip-focused training of the DRE8008 serves as the accessory rather than the primary chest station.

Commercial Selectorized Machines. Engineered to Perform.

Dynasty Resistance Elite

The Dynasty Resistance Elite is Dynasty Fitness's flagship selectorized series, built around the Dynasty Flex-Stack System that delivers a true 1:1 felt weight ratio across the majority of the lineup. What you select on the stack is exactly what you lift, giving every session accurate, progressive resistance from the first rep to the last.

The series covers the complete commercial training floor. ISO-lateral pressing and pulling machines including the ISO-Lateral Chest Press, ISO-Lateral Shoulder Press, and ISO-Lateral Seated Row train each side of the body independently through its own natural arc, eliminating the compensation that fixed bilateral machines allow. Dedicated lower body stations including the Leg Press/Hack Squat, Leg Curl/Leg Extension and Glute Drive cover compound and isolation lower body training from selectorized stations built for heavy daily volume. A complete cable training ecosystem spans from the Adjustable Cable Crossover and Dual Adjustable Pulley through to the 4-Stack, 5-Stack, and 8-Stack Multi Station systems for facilities that need multiple concurrent training zones.

Every machine is built from heavy-duty commercial steel, finished in matte black, and backed by Dynasty's lifetime frame warranty. This is commercial-grade equipment at a price point that makes it accessible to every serious training environment.
