Dips

akiss49ers · 04-30-2007, 10:25 AM

What is your opinion about Dips as an Exercise???

BulkMeUp · 04-30-2007, 10:27 AM

I love them and do them weighted. Wide grip is much tougher than Narrow grip.

vortrit · 04-30-2007, 10:29 AM

Dips kick ass.

BoneCrusher · 04-30-2007, 10:47 AM

Breakfast food of champions. Weighted dips are even better.

fufu · 04-30-2007, 11:47 AM

I think they are fine, I don't do them because they bother my shoulder.

NordicNacho · 04-30-2007, 11:55 AM

compound exercise you got to love them

DiGiTaL · 04-30-2007, 12:07 PM

I cant do more then 4 :'( (without weights)

Plateau_Max · 04-30-2007, 01:26 PM

Vince Gironda hated weighted dips, he thought they were begging for injury and one time pulled a guy's pants down while he was donig them in his gym.

HAHAHAHA

I love dips (weighted)! Unfortunately, my shoulder joint got messed up doing the bench press, and dips seem to aggravate the problem. So I dont do them anymore

**P-funk** · 04-30-2007, 10:52 PM

i think they can place the shoulder in a compromised position. I don't do them.

Yanick · 04-30-2007, 11:18 PM

I used to love doing dips but after hurting my shoulder I haven't done them in months. Don't think i'll ever be doing them again, they aggravate my shoulder injury terribly.

Double D · 05-01-2007, 01:02 AM

If you feel no pain, then do em. They are one of my main lifts. But I like to add plates and more plates!

slip · 05-01-2007, 05:02 AM

I avoid them, same reason as PFunk.

KelJu · 05-01-2007, 05:14 AM

I love them. They are my favorite upperbody/arm exercise. I can't remember who said it, but they said that dips are the squats of the upperbody.

**Gazhole** · 05-01-2007, 06:00 AM

Dips are great. One of my favourites.

danzik17 · 05-01-2007, 08:20 AM

I love doing them but I control the intensity through RI and rep timings. I'll never hang weights on myself for it though.

fohawkenator · 05-01-2007, 09:31 AM

dips are awesome some times instead of doing alot of different exersizes for 3 sets ill do 6 sets of dips for triceps sometimes i get a better pump sumtimes not

Witchblade · 05-01-2007, 10:43 AM

I swear if I hear the word pump again on IM these days I'm going to kill myself.

Nate K · 05-01-2007, 10:55 AM

I love a good arm pump. DONT Kill Yourself!

Gordo · 05-01-2007, 11:34 AM

I think weighted dips (going too deep) is partly what has landed me in rehab for my shoulder. For me (only) they're out of the lineup, forever.

JonnyStead · 05-01-2007, 01:59 PM

I've never done them! probably because I dont have the equipment but I've heard the horror stories so I'm happy to stay away from them

snoogans · 05-01-2007, 03:43 PM

I like them but since I hurt my shoulder, I use less weight and concentrate on
form. 8 seconds down, no pause, 8 seconds up.

TheCurse · 05-01-2007, 05:29 PM

dips are the shizz.

I know what you mean.

I think if we team up we could take THEM out instead, though.

How does one not have the equipment to dip? I could dip using my toilet and my foot stool.

Plateau_Max · 05-02-2007, 10:37 AM

A toilet and foot stool? Are you 2 feet tall??

AKIRA · 05-02-2007, 10:41 AM

He just doesnt have legs.

I like dips. I can do some crazy weight too. However, if I ever had a problem with my shoulders from doing them, I wouldnt be so sad to say goodbye to them. Its not like giving up bench pressing or....

squats.

Nazo: Oh, yes. They make terrific pair. They went together like lamb and tuna fish.
Tommy: Lamb and tuna fish?
Nazo: Maybe you like spaghetti and meatball? You more comfortable with that analogy?
Homeless Guy: Yes, considering we're in America. I mean, if you don't like spaghetti and meatballs, why don't you get the hell out?
