Very helpful, my daughter & I are on a WEIGHT-LOSS journey and wanted to start doing pull ups & tricep dips yet could not complete even one. We're documenting both of our journey's on UA-cam, I recently lost 139 through clean eating, exercise and intermittent fasting, now I'm trying to help my baby girl 💪🏽
When I first attempted dips, I could do four. This was when I was in my twenties. I’m 61 now and I use dips as a tricep warm-up. I get 32 out first set, then around 18, then around 15 with a minute rest in between. I know they’re good for chest, too but I don’t do them on push day.
This is a great video. I am just starting out, I'm a 25 year old skinny girl with not that much muscle. I can do only a few body weight dips, only a few proper pushups but the knee one and wall/bench feels easy. I cannot do a pullup or chin up for the life of me, and even the negative motion is something i can only do 4 of in chin ups, and its only moderately slow. I havent been able to get the hang of the australian thingies. Comprehensive beginner guides like this one are extremely useful and I got confirmation that i am not doing something wrong by just repeating negative dips in a slow and controlled manner, also increasing my flexibility. I would love more videos focusing on gaining basic strength from basically zero, maybe more targeted towards girls, who don't tend to improve as fast and are generally not as strong.. It would aslo be useful to know how many reps/how long of a hold is a good aim to strive for before moving on to the next progression. Keep up the good work! You got yourself a new subscriber :) Love from Norway!
I think one important factor when learning dips and pull ups is gradually losing weight of you’re overweight. Excess fat is like learning to dip with a weighted plate strapped to you.
I lift weights i dont do calesthetics but there are a few bodyweight excersises i still do they are pull ups chin ups ad dips, all really good compoud movemets and a lot of bodybuilders use them !
Tips are still valid. But i would look at ring dip tutorials. Please don't hurt yourself. That exercise is no joke and you can tear your shoulder if done improperly.
Awesome video ! I tried this and I could not mount (get both knees or shins onto) the bands. One at a time plumb does not work. Did you get help with that ? The benefits are obvious, and I will keep trying. But Any tips on the mounts please ? Thanks 🙏🔥🙌
Why going below 90 degrees when doing dips may cause a shoulder injury when doing back lever which puts your shoulders in a similar position will not cause any problem? Is it true that going below 90° dips will cause a shoulder injury or it is a myth? Please answer
Sorry you're getting this answer 5 months late but the truth is it depends on your mobility. 90 degrees is great for most BUT if you have good, pain free ROM at the shoulder then you can do it. I do below 90 but I don't have a client as of yet that I programme to do the same. I only do it because I find it more comfortable. So if you have to push yourself through it, best stay at 90. The extra 5-10 degrees wont have that much of a an increased hypertrophic effect anyway. Hope this helped
Thank you very much! Really appreciate your channel :) now I am able to do somewhere between 10 and 15 (but I can't do them fast, each rep is a struggle) and 6 ring dip :)
thank's for your effort yu helping as a lot .... please make for us a tutorial about the handstand push up with free standing or a transition from frogstand to handstand and i will be thankfull actuelly i m alreaudy thankful
I've got a "question". I want to start calisthenic, but I want to do exercise in a gym as well because there's no calisthenic park in my town. The thing is that the only gym is quiet bullshit, no place to do calisthenic and only the most basic machines. There's a CrossFit gym that helped losing some fat and gain endurance. The trainer there has no problem on letting me doing strict pull ups and so. So the question is " Can I use CrossFit to help me with calisthenics, or is going to actually make it worse?" Like, they donr actually focus on training muscle groups properly so I dont know if that would be bad. Im kinda confused if I should do CrossFit and calisthenic or search another gym. I would really appreciate good points of views if anyone has. Thanks
Width and height of dip bars are also important. The public bars you’re using are superior to anything available in my city. The bar width and height available to me are made for children, the width is not wide enough thus putting my shoulders in an unnatural position at the bottom of the dip.
I made the mistake of adding in bodyweight dips for chest, close grip lockouts for tris and smith machine 1 legged squats all in the same week one or more of those exercises completely inflamed both biceps long head tendons to the point i almost cant go to the gym and feel the pain just pulling heavy covers onto me getting into bed. so did the barbell squats pull on my biceps tendons? or which is more likely? also i find it very difficult to keep my shoulders shrugged down near bottom of reps. its hard to tell w/o a mirror too.
I'd say both. Dips and backsquats can put tremendous strain on your biceps. Some people can get bicep tendinitis just from back squatting. I'd say change your grip on the backsquats.
@@overlord6815 so take some time off anything that irritates the bis then bring back one exercise at a time and use a superwide grip on back squats to stretch them less?
I used to have the same issue when I would fair my elbows too much or had a weird grip doing dumbbell Bench Press. It felt like a tendon was popping over my left elbow each rep. I would rotate the dumbbells more inward rather than completely straight. You can replicate this with angled bars for dips. It will work your chest the more the bars are angled.(angled as in not parallel with each other) It’s probably a combination of lack of strength and tightness in your arms. You can also try the two variations of dips. Leaning forward more so your forearms are constantly making a 90 degree angle with the bar works chest and going more straight down where your shoulders are just moving up and down and not forward work triceps. I make sure to stretch a lot before dips because they are dangerous for your shoulders and elbows if you go heavy or have bad form. As long as your not injuring yourself, just keep working on them and in the long run it helps with strength and size a lot. Recently got over a 2 times body weight dip and it helps with other exercises a lot.
Hey Daniel a suggestion maybe you could start posting more vlogs type videos, of course only if you want it would keep the channel more interesting cause you know in fitness once you have already talk about it some time it reachs a plateau you know
no matter what i do i always have pain on top of my hand (that part you place on hand when doing wrist pushups, but not in joint wrist itself), any suggestion?
Hey mate brilliant information. I very much appreciate your outlook. One question, will locking at the elbows at the end of the dip cause strain on the joint with long term or high repetitions?
This might seem like a silly question but how much food do you consume to build muscle without gaining fat Every time I try and put muscle on I just get fat around my waist, but if I consume too few calories my progress is non existent My maintenance is around 2400-2500 so when I cut I tend to eat around 2000 and when I bulk around 3000 Yet when I bulk I get fat and when I cut my legs and arms just seem to lose mass, it’s like two steps forward two steps back and I don’t seem to progress
Whenever i do dips my right shoulder hurts, i feel pain inside the shoulder, not the muscle but the bone? or at least near it. What should i do, and or what it is. Thanks
Gundro A Submaximum seems like u re not warming up your shoulder or it could be mobility problem or both. I have/had the same issue (its also below the freezing point of water), so make sure that u warm up u re shoulder and just do 90 degree dips. Stop if u re shoulder hurts.

What about if the bar is too high where im doing exercise in open gym here in India the height of bar is about 6 feet tall & my height is 5.6 i started the exercise with hold on bar now im doing 3 dip at one's 2 set of dip
So..., I've been having sternum pain when I am trying to push my reps on dips. When I first started it was very intense so I let it rest and did only push ups for 2 weeks. It was gone then, but it still returns. Is there some way it can be cured once and for all?

Good good program ! I recommend it !
Thanks Daniel, really needed this video today
biggest recommendation from me is to warm up your shoulders. dips will be much easier (from my experience)
Great post!! The pause is the magic
Hey Daniel,
Are these tips equally helpful for someone who doesn’t have access to dip bars like this and is starting on rings instead?
Tips are still valid. But i would look at ring dip tutorials. Please don't hurt yourself. That exercise is no joke and you can tear your shoulder if done improperly.
@@AurelienCarnoy rightly said, 1 dip on ring= 3 normal dips. Start slow if beginner, shoulders get injured quickly.
@@vsvishalcool04 yep. I just learned that.

I do this with the rings but not enough.
Is there a standard gauge for dip bars I find some too wide.
Hi! I just bought some parallel bars. How far apart should I have them and ideally how high should I set them? I’m 192cm. Thanks
Just remove the seal to unlock the deep. Refrigerate after opening.
How wide or narrow should be the grip . For a safe start .
Nice tips

A stupid question but when you have dips bar at home what is the right space between them?
Search it on UA-cam I know it but can't explain it should be a little bit wider than shoulder width apart
