I do them .. I either do a rotation starting with bw moving up to 70lbs and back down. more often I do a farmers walk w/ 70lb kettle bells 1/16 mile track at my gym then super set bw dips 10reps and repeat until I cant feel my forearms and cant make a fist . usually about 3 laps then rest then do it again for a total of 8 laps its my cardio for the day love it

I do them weighted with a 45 or just body weight. This is a great exercise for chest or tri's depending on how you lean.

I do them too....... BW usually I will pumped out a set of 20 as the finisher after a set of Lying Extension for my tri. On Chest day I like to plate up and run 4-6 sets.

Same here haha. I have tried them at the end of a chest workout...epic fail.

 

[jennerrator]

I have to do dips first also but most times can't do them at all as they kill my shoulders

 

[Mind2muscle]

I do them occasionally. I love the pumps I get from them. I'll do a set or 2 BW then work up to 2 plates x 6-8 reps.

Stupid phone sorry about the dislike .

They have always been a staple for me. My gym is pretty small, squat rack, bench and a dip stand.

Dips are awesome. We have a real good dip machine at our gym that you can load up so you don't have to hang those damn weights on your nuts, lol.

 

[PFM]

Dips aggravate old injuries. I've moved on to cables for the movement. I can get some great angles leaning in or out, but as far as weight, weight has little to do with my goals these days.

I always add dips at the end of arms to kill them, I dont count reps just blast as much as I can

i feel it more in my chest

i feel it more in my chest

My dip stand is tapered. I use a close grip for tri's and wide grip will tear up my chest.

 

[R1rider]

I used to do weighted dips, pullup, chin ups, but now i weigh 258lbs so i just stick to doing them with body-weight x 15 for a set of 4

a lot easier on the body, especially my elbows

 

[Dtownry]

I use 2 x 25's for all sets. Usually 10-15 reps. This is usually my last exercise on a chest day so my tris are already pretty smoked.

I like the 25s because they don't hang as low as 45's.

 

[Tren4Life]

Damn 258, nice brother.
