US Patent 11951353 Dip apparatus, methods, and systems

An exercise system may include a dip apparatus having gripping bars for a user to grip and one or more resistance bands releasably attachable to the dip apparatus below the gripping bars to assist the user when performing a dip exercise by providing an upward force counteracting at least a portion of the user's weight. To this end, the dip apparatus may include support bars disposed below the gripping bars, where the support bars are structurally configured to engage with one or more resistance bands. More particularly, each of the support bars may include couplers that have a portion structurally configured to receive a resistance band, which may be formed as a continuous loop.
