Finally managed to rep 100lbs on dips (170lbs b/w)

@jb77 Awesome! Be sure to use muscle power throughout all ROM. As soon as you fatigue/rest on your joints/ligaments / tendons you risk injury - esp on weighted dips. So use strength 100% only - do not “rest” on your joints during sets.

@jessica719 As an observer to all of this I really appreciate this comment. Makes sense to me and that is a great way to describe how to avoid injury in many scenarios.

@jb77 Nice man. Now you gotta go for the one-armed dip.

@jb77 I'm a similar way as you once I could do 120 push ups consecutively and started benching I added 25lbs to my set of ten reps after 3 bench press workouts.

@jb77 My joints scream for.you

 

[savedbygrace71]

@dawn16 Same. I had to ditch dips for the moment because they always set my shoulder off

@jb77 Quick question about dips. I am a bit confused on what form you should have a hollow body? Shoulders rolled back or neutral? Scapula positioning? Whats the "correct" for to target your chest and not triceps?

@spedlearner Here's a great video on the subject

 

[spedlearner]

@ocifferpls Thanks so much. This was just perfect, cheers.

 

[ocifferpls]

@spedlearner No problem! He's a great resource for most lifting related questions, if you haven't already I'd highly suggest checking out his other stuff

@spedlearner Lean into it - hollow body, for chest. Straight up and down for triceps, I believe.

@jb77 Congratulations man! I love weighted dips, they are an excellent upper body builder!

 

[jb77]

@maryh Hell yeah they are. I’m seeing some very nice development in the boob area since I started this, which is good cuz I had kinda stalled.

 

[maryh]

@jb77 Nice. If at some point you want more variety, I highly recommend weighted ring push-ups with the rings placed wide. It really forces you to squeeze in, so it's a nice emphasis on the pecs.

 

[buffyluv]

@maryh What are weighted ring pushups? Does it require a weighted vest?

 

[maryh]

@buffyluv No, you simply out your dip belt around your upper back with the weights in front of your chest and elevate your feet onto a bench.
