every time I do dips, my sternum feels like it is going to rip apart. I get a crazy pump, my pecs get insanely fatigued so basically a really good workout in general but I can't do it often since the pain builds up.
For me it's my right shoulder. After a shoulder injury (also after failing a 320 bench many years ago) pain now builds up there during dips. A sharp burning sensation in the front delt/start of bicep/where the pec connects area. Been years now, I can do every movement but the dip, which was my favorite excercise.
I don't have a dip station and I find that the traditional advice for at-home dips (i.e. using 2 chairs) is really hard on my wrists. Do you have any suggestions for an accessible at-home dip setup that would let you grip parallel bars?
On pushups scapular protraction and serratus anterior engagement is recommended, like a pushup-plus, to get full range of motion at the top of the movement. Why would this also not apply to the dip? It seems like dips on gymnastic rings include scapular movement. How do the ring dips and bar dips compare? Which are better for shoulder health?
I'm in the gym doing dips right now. Had to stop and comment cuz I realized I wasn't doing dips with my shoulders down and back like this before. Now that I am, I feel it way more in my chest, and my shoulders don't have any pain when dipping. Thanks!
I still remember the tip on one of your videos from Alberto, about rolling the shoulders back and get them out of the motion. Still recall certain tips that just stick with you!
People really shorten their ROM that much on dips? I just never see people doing them other than myself. Gotta strap some weight on too if you can. When I started a year ago I could barely do my BW for 8 and now I do 12-15 with a 45 on there and I got myself some pretty beefy triceps now. They really are a great exercise.
Thanks so much, Omarlsuf. I just used your advice now on my Pull Up Mate, and I cannot believe the difference with dipping. Can't do nearly as many dips as I thought I could, but at least they aren't halfass anymore
I could be wrong but I was always told that if you wanted to activate the chest more that you lean your weight further forward and activate your core to push your legs back further. And that would emphasize more of the work out on your chest.
It really sucks bc I love to do dips but the dip bars at my gym are straight instead of angled slightly in and it's such an awkward angle that it puts too much pressure on my shoulders. It's actually more of my collar bone or clavicle area that I feel the tension bc the width of the bars is too far apart. I thought it was just me but another guy at my gym said hes pissed bc he loves dips and he has the same problem with his shoulders/collar bone feeling wierd. I used to be able to do sets of 12 slow and controlled with a 45lb plate and now I get to about 8 and I stop to avoid injury before I even feel it in the areas I want.

I don’t have a gym, but the corner of my kitchen counter is usable for a dip.
Omar is a true student of the barbell and one of the realest on YouTube fitness.

Isn't going past the 90 degree angle going to completely fuck up your shoulders?

I do as you have mentioned but I get shoulder impingement ?? what can I do ??
Dips are better for triceps, flat bench is the top exercise for chest
