Also, pushing movements won’t make you better at pull-ups, because they train completely different movements done by different muscles. You should work up to both so you have both pushing and pulling work. It’s like asking if getting a strong bench press will make you good at rowing.
To progress to a pull-up at home, the best thing is to get your back stronger (and your body leaner if you’re fat). The best way to do this is with inverted rows, which are basically just the pulling version of push ups. Do the same progression, start with as vertical of an angle as you need to be able to do at least 5 reps for a few sets and then gradually reduce the angle until you are horizontal, then you should be strong enough to do at least a couple pull ups. I prefer chin ups because you get extra arm gains. Oh and don’t cheat the form or ROM to try to rush into the pull-ups because then you get shit gains and look like a moron. Proper form, proper ROM.
I used to not be able to do any and got to 12 at like 200lbs bw in about a year.
It's unlikely that you will succeed in dips if you can't do a single push-up. I would avoid because dips are likely to damage your shoulders if you're obese and/or lack the strength.
I loved dips when I started doing them frequently in my routine. 6 months later I had a torn labrum, so I don't know. Freaks me out now after having had surgery. I don't think I'll ever bring myself to do them again. I miss them bros.
Decline bench is better, weighted parallel grip dips are better still
Honest question, I think I can do these, is this a good build up to being able to do a pushup and pullup? Yes I am that weak
Wall push ups —> Incline push ups —> lower incline —> flat push ups —> decline push ups —> dips

Straight bar dips are harder than pushups, so nah brah

>let's internally rotate the shoulders in movment most people already don't do correctly enough to avoid shoulder injury
Go for it.
why not just switch hand position so it's externaly rotated?
Gymnast ring dips or no shot.
It beats dipping into a gay bar.
Dips give me clavicle pain, especially straight bar dips.
I just do one arm pushups and pseudo planche pushups for chest now

>torn labrum
>from dips
What?
go for it. have done em and they're way easier than parallel bar dips but more stress on shoulders (personally i will never do them again)
won't the fricking thing tip over?
His center of mass remains over the bar, else he wouldn't be balanced, and the legs of the equipment go well past the bars.
