who here does dips?

Just added them on chest and tris day a few weeks ago. I also dropped incline, I work my shoulders enough the day before.

i do dips regularly... weighted dips i got with 100lbs with weight belt.. and if your friend has that oppinion then set up the weight belt for him amd tell him to get at it and stop bein a pussy. trully dips are a great exercise.

we do dips every week, 50kg on belt for reps

Huge fan of dips, great builders for triceps, lower chest as mentioned above... similar situation to you, don't see many people doing them at my gym (which is also no Muscle Beach)

yeah i dip. i dont have a belt i can tie weight to a my urrent (hotel) gym, so i o hem with bodyweight only. after about 20 reps my housemae (gym newbie) came out with the comment "man. you look like youre shagging when you do that"

bastard. i fell off the dip bars and nearly hurt my shoulder

dips are great, espeially if you take the time to get your lean right

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.

Ya bro I wrestled for about 13 years and another good body exercise is superman pushups. Where you stand vertical on ur hands with ur heels against the wall for balance then do basically a vertical pushup. I would always go til my forehead touched the mat and back up. I also did and still do dips regularly. There is a machine that lets you put weight around you waist and dip at my gym.

Dips/weighted dips are part of my routine

 

[needtogetaas]

yup

I hit them about every 3rd or 4th workout. Over the years I've occasionally made them a staple for a couple of months at a time when I feel I need to change things up. They're easier on my shoulders than constant presses, too, which is becoming more important as I age.

Dips are great for outer pec development and for getting bigger tris.
