Dips never really bothered my shoulders but for some reason they're one of the only exercises that really flare up my elbow tendonitis, so when I do them I have to do them in a very specific way (moderate depth, wide, externally rotated grip, and no full lockout at the top).
What about adding weight by holding a dumbbell between your feet? For me a dumbbell feels better than a weight belt, but I'm not sure if it throws the balance off or something.
That conventional deep is just crap… Harmful to joints mainly shoulder rotator cuff but to elbows as well… Should flare out the elbows aprox 30-45 degrees to the side puting more stress to the chest than to them…
Could someone chip in on this problem? I have been doing BW dips for more than a year with great satisfaction an no pain whatsoever. I recently started to add weight and I'm experiencing some discomfort (not really a pain) in the back of my right shoulder, slightly below and slightly more laterally than the spine of the scapula. I would exclude anything really serious (impingement or bursitis should feel different) but if somebody has ever experienced something like this I would appreciate the feedback.
I do get some discomfort, maybe even a dull pain in my left shoulder when I do dips, and afterwards. Where would you say the line from normal aches and pains to dangerous pain is?
OK, the banded dips are brilliant. I have only tried dips once, using rings, and they were leg-assisted. That was hard enough, and I didn't even leave the ground. Will look into this in conjunction with a band. And of course Rogue has a dip bar. Why am I not surprised? I gotta say, I do love my squat rack (even if I don't yet have the mobility to do actual shoulder-barbell squats – gotta stick with Zercher for now).
I've watched so many tutorials now and I still seem to be doing something wrong. I have such bad backpain now. 🙁 Literally about to cry, guess I'm just too stupid.
I'm already doing these in a linear progression standard. Went from unweighted (bodyweight only ) to 70 lbs as of my last session. I know in your chin up video you mentioned 3×5 is fine for chin ups, but would you recommend it also for dips? So far it has worked alright for me, and it has pretty much granted me to add 5 pounds on my dip belt every session.
I'm not trying to single out this instructor, who sounds knowledgeable to me, but why do trainers give the, "Don't do dips, if they hurt your shoulders" warning, but NEVER issue the same admonition for benching? I suppose I am asking this question because I stopped doing benches because doing them hurt my shoulder joints – and one can get pinned under missed bench attempts, but not so missed dips. Finally, dips do not hurt my shoulders, even though I am now an arthritic old coot.
A few years ago I completely destroyed my shoulder. Went forever not being able to lift about my head or even twist a doorknob let alone work out. Slowly starting back but I’m having to learn it all over again from loosing the strength and muscle memory. Dips are one of the hardest for me

I don't believe she's never done dips before. She's very well developed.

dam what's sarah's @
How would you program and put them into your NLP?
What if you can't even hold yourself up? 😢
If I weight 260lbs, how strong should my bands be to do the band dips?

My favourite exercise great for core strength 💪 best exercise in goal after doin set of ten your ready for chin up bar
im getting a 'dip' just watching this….
I feel like actual dip bars would be better because they can be moved around to avoid pain
Thank you for explaining this so well, I never tried dips cause I didn’t wanna a look like a noob in the gym but now I’m gonna try it
Is it ok to do dips fast or do i have to so them slow ?
SHE IS SUPER FLAT !
I THOUGHT IT WAS A BOY BUT WHEN I LOOKED CLOSELY AND TO HER HAIR THEN IFOUVD IT WAS A GIRL! !

Its a tough one.
Any tips on pain in the middle of the chest when I'm doing it? It's my first time so I can't do a complete dip just a quarter of it
gymnastic rings do not cause rotator cuff problems they actually help in solving them
This hurts my shoulders but not like an injury hurt but more like a workout burn. Is that normal?
