Dude, perfectly upright dips are terrible form. A little forward lean is ideal because it increases the range of motion of the triceps and having activation in the front delts and chest is a bonus.
Bench is chest for 1/3rd of the movement (and that's with a wide grip) and only hits the pec major which is why every bench autist gets a tear right between the pec major and deltoid. Dips put the chest in a full range motion.
chest dips constantly gave me sternum pain but it went away after about 1 and a half years and i can now do +40kg weighted dips. just work through the pain for almost 2 years and it will probably work out idk.. idk. idk. i dont really know, im not sure.
No one said it's too little volume. We said that there are muscle groups being neglected that will eventually lead to shit posture/injury and the fact that it uses expensive equipment is fundamentally not minimalist.
Do assisted dips and then lower the assistance weight until you can do body weight. Then start adding additional weight to keep progressing in strength
My philosophy is to only up the weight on an exercise until you can do 10 reps with 1 second pauses at the bottom of the movement. This is usually good for beginners, but if you're plateauing, add some weight until you can do only 3-4 per set. After a couple weeks at this heavier weight, go back to the lighter weight and it should be trivial progressing to 10reps again.
I always love the idea of dips when I´m not in the gym but they make me nervous when I actually go do them. I´m on 4 sets of 14/15, is it time to add weight?
I just can't do these correcly with the assisted machine at my gym, the cable is right in front of my face and I'm stuck into an ankward position wich punishes my shoulders.
The trainer insists that I'm doing it correctly, but it doesn't even fry the triceps.

These replaced standing arnold press as my #1 favorite exercise, I can do pl8 but feel I should work on lower weights for higher reps due to how important shoulders are.
If you don't like dips you're a homosexual
then i guess i’m a huge heterosexual male, haha
Wait really? So they're better than benching? I'd happily quit benching if I got better results doing these lol
Dips focus on the triceps, bench focuses on the chest. Unless you do chest dips but then say goodbye to your sternum.
What? Dips give me crazy chest DOMS, you probably have dog shit form

what a moronic homosexual c**t Black person
False
Use a wider grip my man
Bench obly focuses on chest until you hit monster weight. Then your chest is more of a stabilizer

They use your chest but you'd best preexhaust it with flies first.
Red Park advocated that novice trainees could effectively replace the bench press with the dip
>50 benchpress reps one week and only 25 the following week
And people say that pic related has too little weekly volume.
I wish it was that simple.

>5x7 squats
Who's gonna tell him?
>be fatass
>can barely do one
Get some resistance bands and do assisted dips then
Lose weight
Stop eating
It’s so easy
Some gyms have an assisted dip/pullup machine. Check it out.
Fat fricks aren't allowed to post animu pictures
Only slim femboys and heavy lifters are
I cannot do these without elbow pain and clicking. Any advice bros? I'm 6'1 amd already supplementing collagen for better joints.
prolly just stop doing them and do the accessory equivalent
use rings
Do a proper warm up first you moron
I noticed tall guys struggle and get injuries on dips more often than not
6’2 and I stay away from dips
They aren’t necessary
You basically continued to damage your nerves and now your telling people to do the same. Fricking moron.
how get better at dips. I suck at them. I'm not fat

sets and reps??
I can do like 5-8 so its not that bad. I just hate doing them since I suck at them. i love the exercise

Forgot to mention set. I work 3 at the 8-10 rep range, 4 set from 5-7, and 5 sets for 3-4
I have a home gym but no dip rack, would it be autistic to bring a belt and some plates to the local park and do weighted dips on the rack there?
not really but i think it would be kind of a pain in the ass. i'd just get a rack if i were you. they're cheap
if your not weighting them why even bother
Weighted dips are godtier
bodyweight are shitier
I could do 100 and not get any gains
Nobody cares bro
fite me irl
>you wont
If this is really true it just means you already have well developed pecs. Not everybody is at your position obviously so that's why some bother.
Threads like this make me appreciate how lucky I am that I'm able to progress with dips. Assisted dips are probably good for everyone else.
That's not the OHP.Dips work triceps and chest only
I like them but I get an weird electric feeling sting in my left elbow when I do them

>replaced by even more virgin russian federation-US rivalry
heh, we're just building up ot the main event
My hands always hurt from those. I have strenght for more reps but the pain i feel in this area is too much
>risk of tricep/elbow injury
>risk of shoulder injury
>risk of rotator cuff injury
bros i want to do dips without fricking up my upper body, what do
I just can't do these correcly with the assisted machine at my gym, the cable is right in front of my face and I'm stuck into an ankward position wich punishes my shoulders.
