who here does dips?

[wolfman87]

i was in the middle of dip's today when one of my friends shows up and said i must be crazy for doing them, because i will get "mega-sore" tomorrow. he then went on to say that he's never seen anyone actually do them and that he's afraid of them. i just laughed and said "you will learn young grasshopper". but he did bring up a good point, i've only ever seen 2 other people at my gym do them. i'll admit it's mostly a laid back gym but still... how many of you do dips?

I do dips. Bench dips, machine dips, regular dips. It's good for tris and chest. Great exercise for tris, easy on the elbows.

used to, its good for me only if I have time to do 2 exercises ( inlcine press and dips)

but I usually stay aways from them since flys give me more for the pecs

you're friends a tool. try hanging 100lbs off your waste and do the dips. that's a power movement, period, bodyweight plus added, close 300lbs you're dipping with. I'd be afraid of someone who could do that. then again, i'm smart enough to be afraid of the 170lb mma fighter that'll knock my ass out if I'm not ready.

I'm a fan, more and more I am into body weight excersizes, but I train a lot more for wrestling than lifting these days. I think body weight excersizes are safer and easier on the joints, at least they are for my body, I do pullups, pushups and dips quite often.

i do weighted dips too but only strapped with 44lb, right after my chest workout i go to dips to start my tri workout.
it does hurt the fuck out of your tris and outer upper chest!! which is a good thing

Weighted Dips have been the single greatest mass builder for my Tri's. I urge anyone who is not doing them to start

Along with squats, deads, etc....weighted dips should be a staple exercise in your routine.
