Yet another weighted dips question...

[AEKDB]

to cheat what?? do mean focusing more on tris or chest?? if my body is vertical while doing dips I can't go as low... and it seems to torque the shoulder towards an unnatural position... I lean forward, probably aroud the 45-55 degree range, I feel it work my chest on the deeper end and kill my tris on the other!! you are steadily lowering your body between two bars and then pushing up!! how do you cheat at dips?? that's like cheating at deadlifts, I understand cheating at curls (the swing) I understand cheating at pullups (the kick) but I don't get how you cheat at weighted dips??

That is what I was trying to say, you can't cheat on dips.

I turn my wrists out slightly so that the weight is centered more inline with the wrist, very similar to the proper bench press form. The great thing with dips is that it is extremely hard to cheat. Leaning forward may make it slightly easier but you will never be able to lean forward enough to really cheat.

ok I got yeah, I thought you were saying it was easier if you leaned forward... I think the natural position is to lean forward a bit!! after I re-read it I got it... the firts time I was like "wtf... easier??"
