tricept dips

readyformore · 06-07-2008, 09:02 PM

i was wondering how much weight it is actualy doing if your just doing it off of 2 surfaces, how much actual weight are you putting on tricept, aka how much are you lifting with your bicepts, i weigh 220 and had a 45 pound plate on my lap, THANKS

..what? those aren't tricep dips what you are doing are bench dips Weighted Bench Dip

bench dips are not as effective as tricep dips Weighted Triceps Dip

What does it matter?

The time and effort it would take to calculate it wouldnt help you at all. If it can actually be worked out accurately, which i dont think it can.

You were doing your BW + 45lbs, thats all the notation you need. Work on increasing that.

I would try find some way of doing proper Dips though, Bench Dips arent very kind on the shoulders because of the position that movement puts them in, and could lead to a mischief if you keep upping the weight.
