I wouldn't say it's a burn. The point of crossfit is to be energy efficient. While I don't agree with the training philosophy of crossfit, I don't think it deserves all the shit it gets. They just have different goals than people like us who do strength training.

Brother Daniel, I am personally grateful to you. Before starting watching your videos, I was thinking of committing suicide because I failed to reach my life goal. Before doing it, one day one of your videos came as suggestion while scrolling youtube. I started to follow your videos regularly. To pass my times of frustration, I started doing calisthenics. I started to feel my inner confidence after starting it consistently. Being inspired so much, I came back from the decision of suicide. Now it's my 1 year of calisthenics journey. I will never quit it. I can't thank you enough for the way you've changed my view of life by your videos. You are a gem. May Almighty bless you man. Love from Bangladesh.
That's inspiring man! Keep on going! You've got this!💪🏼 And I want you to know that you're not alone, I myself had lots of those thoughts and doing sport constantly, now being an athlete definitely changed my life. Props to you my friend! 💪🏽🦸♂️
I've destroyed my shoulder with dips when I was an unprepared kid. Thank you Daniel, I am recovering (with pain) and training smarter with your videos. Keep up doing this, it can be life changing!
I did the same in my younger training years. Once you learn how to properly free up, yet stabilise your shoulders through full extension (eccentric) and flexion (concentric), full ROM dips are the best!
Man I just really like the way you share information, it's genuine, you care, you tail it to fit the individual, don't give us false hope. I've been bouncing around heaps of calisthenics channels over this year and always come back to this one. I appreciate you as a teacher and a person. Thank you very much
Can I say this? A big mistake is they don't have any houmous, taramasalata or Tsantsiki, these are amazing dips to use :-D . Make sure you dip the bread in with your fingers and then raise the bread to the mouth, and if you share it, ideally don't double dip what you have bitten, unless you kiss them and are not sick with something.. Hopefully this makes some of you smile :D
I came here after one of your 2017 videos and it's earth shattering how much better the editing and the structure of your content has got. Excellent work!
Great video on dips. I'm not a calisthenics athlete, but I workout in a gym, and being doing dips and pull ups for years. This guy's videos on dips and pull ups are top notch. I've followed his advice and I'm pain free with dips and pull ups. I've picked up a lot of strength and muscle over the years. Thanks!
1:48 That's what she said. But on a more serious note, I can appreciate the new location and the value-laden video. Going back to the roots, brother. Always trying to help people become a stronger version of themeselves through calisthenics. WIsh you the very best in the next phase of FitnessFAQs, Daniel. Greetings from Spain 💪
Bro, did sets of dips yesterday and it's the second time I've come out the next day with my shoulder feeling janky. I'm ready to find out all the ways I can improve on this exercise!
ring dips humbled me and also taught me to avoid most mistakes presented in this video. Because of the tricky balance on the rings, you are kind of forced to maintain good form, controlled negatives and no use of momentum.
Gym finally open Monday 19th in Switzerland, they were closed since October 2020... Until now I was doing calisthenics training and I think that I will include more calisthenics exercises in my training programme, so excited to do hybrid training 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I would like to add as a mistake: Flaring the elbows out. I used to turn my hands inwards in order to flare my elbows out because it targeted the triceps much more...until I tore my chest muscle :( So yea, avoid that. Keep elbows in
One of my favourite things to do is perform dips until failure and then do a suuuuuuper slow negative at the very end, so much tension through the chest it’s great
Brilliant advice about finding your own grip width. For years I blindly used a wide grip with elbows flared right out to work the chest, but I eventually found that a narrower grip and keeping my elbows in more (closer to the form for triceps) allowed me to feel a better chest contraction.
I just spent about 2 hours watching many fitness videos. This one is without a doubt the best. I can feel that the presenter really cares about his audience.
Thanks man, always great tips, one of the few UA-camrs I really trust regarding long term success and health. I remember watching the bodyweight row video and trying the shoulder width grip vs my usual outside shoulder width and it made a huge difference in comfort, range of motion and also strength.
So glad you made the point of controlled excentric movement. I was that guy pushing reps in this manner and was rewarded with tendinitis in the pectoral sternum. Put me out of training most pectoral and tricep exercises. I grew wiser after experience - strict form and controlled movement throughout from here on out
Thank you so much for the priceless advice presented in this video, I almost did every mistake mentioned in this video and this is truly an eye opener!
When i bend my hips and raise my legs a bit forward over the complete range of motion, i feel my chest a lot more. With a straight body alignment, i only hit my trizeps and shoulders
I watch a lot of different videos with explanations as to which technique is best in a given exercise but the truth for me is... Daniel's technique about exercise s feels just right for my body... consistency is everything.... listen to your body... It will tell you everything about what is right and what is wrong.... just keep it simple.... don't waste your body making an exercise hard for your tendons and joints.... being injury free in a consistent way is the key to progress happily and continuously.... thank you Daniel.... for sharing sincere healthy knowledge 👍
This may be your very best video, and you have many very good ones. Your emphasis on detailed training reccommendations makes your advice exceptional. Thank you!
I have been on my Dip journey for a few months now, this was masterful content. Articulated with Percision, concise! Thank you brother, for the valued information.
This video was exceptional. It really helped me get the exact same point across to a friend of mine that I was helping out in the gym a few weeks ago. I was teaching him cues about retraction and depression of the shoulders when doing movements such as these and some muppet interrupted me by saying "give him a break mate, that's probably all he can do". My friend knew I was right but it affected his mindset during that exercise. So annoying. Keep up the good work 👍
On leaning too far forward, that's a biceps or Korean dip, just another exercise. As for the front delt strain, it's limited as the ROM is reduced anyway. As for risk with added weighted, no one argues for adding load aggressively. It's called progressive loading or progression and inculcates premeditated, methodical changes in load, not ad hoc. I would also assume, the front delt strain can be further reduced with scap retraction and thoracic extension, which moves stress onto the pecs. It also allows for greater shoulder extension and by extension and logic improves safety. No one suggests thoracic flexion followed by extension, as illustrated in your video. Glad you mentioned scap retraction and thoracic extension later in on the video. On entirely locking out, why allow pain to gauge depth but not with the lockout? One of my elbows sometimes gives me pain at lock out as well as the shoulder, and it takes me out of position, too. Furthermore, stretch under tension is the most stimulative, not locking out, so I don't see how its an uncompromisable technique must. On leaning backwards, again, it's another exercise, a variation of the Gironda dip. Not my fav but legit in of itself. This one is probably is more risk prone, if only because the shoulders have limited ROM with it and proper depth is harder to gauge. I find it plain harder to perform, so it's probably best reserved for those who are well experienced. Not sure why you critique the hollowbody position. Gymnasts use it all the time, although I think they have shoulders of steel, it may be best reserved for the experienced and with good shoulders, but still it shouldn't be discarded outright. As of late I'm doing pec dips and shoulder pumps out of the hollow position without complaints, and I have a torn labrum.
THERE IS NO WAY JUST WHEN IM HAVING DIP PROBLEMS! I’ve been struggling with regular dips because of sternum pain. Love your videos bro thank you for everything.
@@adrianahaverhoek yes thank you, I am working on that. I’ve been doing different types of mobility routines every morning and evening as well as warming up my shoulders through full range of motion before workout. I think it might be the depth of the dip thats causing the pain
Thank you for the great tips. I didn't know of the increased risk with the forward lean or the reduced range of motion when putting the legs in front. Notes taken. Also the tip to drop the needless intensity for the sake of longevity is something I needed to consider as I now have quite a sore left shoulder. Anyway, thank for the great info.
Just bought dip bars. Have no idea how to start. Very out of shape. But listening about the negatives and focus on control. I'm going to start very slow and base my learning around control thanks.
Quality content! I have all the information i wanted and needed. I like how you also put the myth of constant muscular tension in this video, i was wondering for a while now if that was actually true
"This isn't cross-fit, we don't use momentum" Awesome burn
Cross-shit*
I like the people who brag about doing a billion pull-ups while flopping around like a salmon.
I wouldn't say it's a burn. The point of crossfit is to be energy efficient. While I don't agree with the training philosophy of crossfit, I don't think it deserves all the shit it gets. They just have different goals than people like us who do strength training.

Mistake I use to make was definitely the scapula, with inward rotation.

Really weird so was I .
Lol same, headed to my garage now
I did them today ;)
Me too 😁
Same! Dips is part of my routine today too

Dude did more dips in this video than I’ve done in my life
I've been looking forward to this for a while, i stopped doing dips simply because it feels very wrong every time i do it, this is perfect
Thanks for demonstrating the scapula. That's what I came here for and appreciate it was so clearly articulated
"We don't kip. This is not crossfit" HAHAHAHAAHA!!
Perfect!
Thanks for the advice, my shoulders use to hurt when doing dips, and now I know why.
Thanks so much for this video. Ive been working on dips the last two weeks and this video hit it on the nail!
The face at 7:46 killed me 😂
Was looking for this comment

Such quality content Daniel. Thank you so much! I hope you continue videos like this... I learn so much!
Honestly...your videos are getting better and better! Amazing!
Thank you for this! I'd love to see this with ring dips too, I moved onto them recently and can't help but feel like my form kind of sucks on them.
Nice content pal!
Please make such a video on "Mistakes to avoid when working out with rings"
This is one of the best channels on bodyweight workouts. Very informative and straight to the point.
I just spent about 2 hours watching many fitness videos. This one is without a doubt the best. I can feel that the presenter really cares about his audience.

love the way you explained the dips to us
When i bend my hips and raise my legs a bit forward over the complete range of motion, i feel my chest a lot more. With a straight body alignment, i only hit my trizeps and shoulders
I feel the best pump with dips on rings.
That is the only exercise in which i feel my chest muscle working
Amazing video, hopefully it will help me solving some shoulder pain... will try to experiment with the grip definitely 👍🏻thanks!

If u could please make a video on how to make ur shoulder down and back permanently like in a good posture as you have.
He has already made a video on proper dip form just look it up
