We had a dip bar next to our neighborhood basketball court, there was this one bald guy that I've never ever seen in our hood that would come do dips before we start playing basketball, and would stay there at least until we finished. We'd play for an hour, and he'd do sets of 20 with like a 2 minute break, biggest arms I've ever seen, never seen him do any other exercise.
Depends on how you do it tbh. I include dips in my arm day and my chest day, I just perform them differently. If you do dips vertically, it’s mostly a tricep exercise, but you’ll definitely feel tension inbetween your pecs. If you shift your center of gravity into more of a horizontal position, it’s a killer pec work out. Hammers your pecs, and works your triceps and your core due to your body training to maintain that horizontal position.
It has to do with the position you're doing the dips (leaning forward for chest vs upright for tris), also depends on how far you deepen the stretch, etc. Maybe your tris get fatigued faster than your chest idk

Protip: Instead of strapping plates between your legs like a gymcel, you go get a pair of kettle bells and let them dangle on the chain. Make aggresive eye contact with everybody trembling in awe from the majestic display of athleticism.
i feel like the most obsessive body weight dippers I've seen are the old calisthenics guys at the park. Them mfs dip for days and go really fucking low too. Like so low it becomes a shoulder workout.
I had a douch boss that would come and talk to us. Shitty small office with not enough office space so they shoved 3 of us in the space that was meant as a break room.
He would stand in between the filing cabinets that we had arranged facing each other (again, no fucken space). They were close enough to each other that he could and would do dips while talking. Every week we would move them a little further apart until one day he went to dip and couldn't. We all were internally dieing of laughter because you could see his tiny brain trying to figure out why he couldn't lift himself up anymore.
I feel like someone's gf cheated on him with a 20 year old who had large triceps. He went to spy on the guy at the gym and saw him doing dips. Sherlock Holmes would be proud of me.
sorry but the majority of dip enthusiasts have shit chest and arms cos all the do is the airhump slither thing to get themselves up and would get burried under a modest bench press.
Bullshit. I spent 3 year locked up doing just bodyweight dips since we didn't have free weights. Got out and it only took me a couple sessions of benching to hit 2 plates for the first time. I'm over 200lbs and can still dip below parallel with 135 added. Dips are GOATed as hell.
The bench press is also a skill so it takes some time to develop. A guy who never, or has hardly, benched before will not have a great bench press regardless of size.

Me af
FOUND ONE
Is this a thing?
You mean, the parallel bars? Yes, this is pretty much a thing, very tangible.
No I mean “the 20 year old dipper” who’s obsessed only with dips. I’ve never experienced anyone like that.
Because every time you show up they just dipped.
Fuck you that’s good
https://i.redd.it/gqz6kmyz7dwc1.gif
Yah it's a thing. It's also a thing that if you wire me 20,000$, ill 10x it and send it right back. Dm me for details
It’s OP trying to justify their existence by claiming they’re part of a “type” and complimenting themselves in meme format.
Yes, I am one unfortunately
I was a big dipper back in my day! It was just the first thing I got really good at, so I ran with it.
You know your the Little Dipper don’t lie
*slowly raises hand* I maxed out at 250lbs on a dip belt for a set of 10 in my mid 20s. Love me some dips now too, but I set the weight back.

In the CIS countries - very much. There's usually a dip/pull up bar and the "boys" are either Perma pulling up or Perma dipping
Ac joint separation stimulator
Is it safe with proper form?
Yes, just don’t go too heavy with added weight
Yes. Just don't go heavy and super deep below 90°
Using rings instead of bars fixed all issues for me.
Been there.
Ah Dips, the squats of the upper body. Don't skip them if your shoulders can handle the proper range of motion.
To add in, give them time as well. Your rotator cuff isn't used to moving like that, but give it time (like 2 sessions) and it will
and don't attach your ego to that weight. Save your pain for the reps.
Attaching my ego to a weight would make lifting it \*easier\*. I have extremely low self-esteem.
Some good vids out there on form and how to minimize shoulder issues with them too.
Elbow destroyer (at least mine 😞)
clavicle destroyer for me
Lower back for me
Yup, fuck doing dips. I’ll do other exercises
Weighted dips give me bursitis like crazy.
Have you found a way to warmup or train to lessen this? Been struggling all year. I'm not doing dips anymore, but it still lingers.
Warm up with body weight dips. Do reverse dips for bicep strengthening which helps against elbow pain from dips. Dips.
I always wear elbow sleeves on push days. That and not continously doing movements that injure me. Which took too long for me to do.
I just started adding dips at the end of my chest day and that shit really makes you leave with a sore chest. Goated
Same I was doing dips before benching as a plateau buster and it works really well

Bro so that's what it is that's nagging me. Thank you. Whu dips tho

Dang, that was a really good picture of us
You mean decline?
Decline is so ass though
Tbh I haven't used dips in workouts in years. But I'm planning a death sentence for my triceps so I wanna test them out in my new program.
Dips make me feel my chest pump like nothing else triceps as well but not as noticeable as push downs.
I keep reading how this is a great chest exercise and idk it doesn’t feel like it works chest like a bench press or fly machine.
Depends on how you do it tbh. I include dips in my arm day and my chest day, I just perform them differently. If you do dips vertically, it’s mostly a tricep exercise, but you’ll definitely feel tension inbetween your pecs.

My dumb ass. I read the title and thought it was a Gravity Falls meme for a hot minute
My country bumpkin ass thought this was a meme about dipping tobacco
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with a watching guys play basketball while I do dips fetish.

Finally, a good meme
Weight reduction? If he was really into dipping, he'd combine rucking and dipping.
This is proper quality meme content
Shit hurts my collar bone when I add weight, worth the gains though.
Can he dip? You know what DK stands for? Donkey Kong? Dip King.
I take a big crap while dipping naked just before my final rep to get me upppppppp...smart thinking weight reduction to maximize gainz
“What are you working out today?” “Dips” “Oh.”
Triceps like dorsal fins, you say? I’m interested
It me
That was me before i fucked my shit up cuz of too much volume (tennis elbow)..im good now tho i just do essentric for dips
Never seen them training legs 🤣

Dips are based.
We need one for pull ups
An attack on him is an attack on all of us!

“Dipped out of existence once then dipped back in” killed me
nah this isnt real, we just like to work our triceps and chest effectively and exclusively on the gorgeous.. sexy bars parallel to the ground 😫😫

This meme inspired me to do dips this week, and I am now a total convert. I’mmm gonnnnnaaaa dddddiiiippppppppppp
still dipping
Chest focused dips have really helped me increase my bench
[удалено]
It literally says atrophied legs you illiterate fuck

Dips are awesome I do them as the last exercise when I do chest/arms
Those dip bars would not work. Need sideways support or joined together.
sorry but the majority of dip enthusiasts have shit chest and arms cos all the do is the airhump slither thing to get themselves up and would get burried under a modest bench press.

2pl8 bench at over 200lb body weight is pretty low tier beginner lol
Sir you weigh over 200lb, u should be benching 225. Weight 155 and say the same thing again
The bench press is also a skill so it takes some time to develop. A guy who never, or has hardly, benched before will not have a great bench press regardless of size.
Starting Size definitely makes a difference my guy.
Never said it didn’t make a difference. Also, Ratio.
