    Weighted Dips should be used like any other exercise. Meaning that use the reps the meet your goals. So ya in general use 8-12 if muscle mass are your goals. 20 reps as a shock or for muscle endurance if those are your goals.
    If you always have a great day, you will always have a great life.

    I agree.

    Its more or less a COMPOUND movement, so depending on your goals reps 4-12 would be the norm...depending on your goals.

    I would only go above 12 or until failure for variation, endurance, shits & giggles.
