massive dips PR

[casualbb]

man it feels good being bigger and stronger again

So my previous best on weighted dips was +30 for 5 reps

Today I load on the 30, I go to dip. I expect 5 reps and get them with surprising ease. I think, why not, let's see how far I can go.

Pumped out another easy 5.

Damn that was cool. +30 for 5 right to +30 for 10. Now I'm thinking it's time to hit +40 and +50

werd..good work bro!!!

I love it when that happens. It's usually like that, I can go for a week or two and barely make my rep goal for a certain set, this can carry on with much effort on my part for all that time, then one day I will go into the gym and suddenly I can do much more than ever before. It feels amazing!!! I do have a hunch though that this normally happens when I am well rested and for some reason have extra energy those days, then I will hit new PR's on more than one exersize... Did you have simialar ease with other exersizes that day or was it only on dips?

Congrats bro, keep them pr's comin!

Nice, orb. You'll be at 2 plates for 5 really soon. Then you'll really feel like a bad ass.

yeah I pretty much kicked ass in everything

doing HST, I find that happens after my 2 day layoff at the end of the week. The extra day makes a huge difference, especially when doing fullbody workouts near failure!

Congrats !

I wish I could do some weighted dips as I used to (my shoulders don't appreciate though)

im startin to get into dips too. i just got my bodyweight 8 times today on the rings, on those dip stations i bet 10 would be easier. what next, try a 5x5 bodyweight or something?

awesome pr man. keep it coming

no dip k for you, i need some more spreading

Nice pr! 5 to 10! fast gain

I am doing 5 dips with a 35lb but my bench is like 5 x 135... surely the dips should be helping the bench? My bench sucks so bad its embarrasing everytime I bench(my bw is like 145). Anyone have any idea/advice about what I may be lacking?

Good job, Casual. Hang on some more weight.

Exactly man, I am doing hst now also and after the two day rest I come back with tons of extra power.
