i have a theory that the people that snap their shoulders on dips are people that have previously trained bench press which has substantially reduced their shoulder range of motion, so they end up snapping their shit when they actually push their range of motion on a dip
Yes, they're just people who go below parallel, which you should not do on a dip.
i see soooo many fucking people do dips with the worst possible form
i cringe so hard every time
it's unbelievable how so many people just have no idea how to do certain movements properly
like it isn't even hard to figure out the best/safest way to do most exercises on your own either
especially dips
same reason why dumbbell pressing is much better for your shoulders. your shoulder are allowed to move during the movement.
Think about a barbell bench, its a a single, fixated object that you're pressing, as opposed to rings, or dumbells, where your shoulders and hands can rotate throughout the movement.
This doesnt mean you should completely neglect barbell benching, because it really it amazing for strength, but also consider the benefits of using dumbells and rings.
For example, i remember when i injured my rotator cuff and literally would have searing pain when i benched with a barbell. Doing ring dips surprisingly to me at the time, did not cause any pain at all, therefore allowing me to train my chest while despite having a shoulder injury.
I used to do dips 3 times a week with no issues, only do them once now but I like em, I think those bodyweight supported dip machines are a little dangerous tho
I weigh 220lbs and I do them weighted with like 45lbs on top and I don't get issues. It's just people having weak connective tissue and being bitches in general
I've been lifting for a couple of years now
I think it may have something to do with the dip bars at my gym being really far apart?
When I try to dip on those it feels like my ribcage is being pulled apart
I just tried it at home and didn't have that problem. It's fucking weird
all about the bar.
i can do dips at extremely heavy weights all day on a parallel bar.
Those fucking weird ass V bars you hook up to power cages? hurt my elbow and shoulder ever time.
Insertion is a real thing and you can really fuck up your body doing a lift variation that you at a genetic level are not meant to do.

Yeah those V bars are shit, I've been doing dips for years on regular parallel bars but those bars at the gym never felt right.
I can't do these without elbow pain and clicking. I'm a 6'1 lanklet with a wingspan of 6'3 for reference. What am I doing wrong?
Fuck you moron
Imagine having injuries on a natural exercise that is based on moving up your body with your arms, you are just doing it wrong weak gay
>natural exercise
moron when will you ever need to do dips? The closest movements are pushing yourself off a floor or climbing, but neither come close.
You either can do them or you don't
Just depends on the structure of your shoulders
Only way I can do them with decent ROM is with tons of forward lean and you might as well do dumbbell bench at that point
Yo how the fuck do you tell when you're at parallel in the dip?
I watched myself doing them in the mirror for the first time and I'm going way too far down. I had no idea. I don't feel any stretch on my pecs or shoulders at all.
Depress your fucking scapula Jesus christ
What
ESL here, what do you mean?
I know what is scapula, but it ain't sad..?
Push down -- the literal, rather than metaphorical meaning of "depress".
i have a theory that the people that snap their shoulders on dips are people that have previously trained bench press which has substantially reduced their shoulder range of motion, so they end up snapping their shit when they actually push their range of motion on a dip
dips actually healed my shoulder when I did them right. Both my shoulders were fugged since middleschool because of sports.
how is this relevant to what he said? fucking moron

dips give you a way better stretch in your pec. Bench is absolute peasantry compared to dips it's unparalleled.
>previously trained bench press which has substantially reduced their shoulder range of motion,
Lol
Lmao
>not doing them on rings
Snap Snap City, oh baby take me back to Snap City.
Why are rings better? I feel uncomfortable doing them on a bar and was wondering whether rings would help.
same reason why dumbbell pressing is much better for your shoulders. your shoulder are allowed to move during the movement.

Take me down to snap city
Where the form is bad and the gains are shitty
Oh wont you please
Take me hooome.
I used to do dips 3 times a week with no issues, only do them once now but I like em, I think those bodyweight supported dip machines are a little dangerous tho
>snaps your collarbone
Every time dude, every time
>try doing dips
>feels like my sternum is going to rip in half
I don't get how so many of you have issues with them. I do them regularly and never had issues. Dips feel great
It's probably a question of weight, like pull ups.
cope
I weigh 220lbs and I do them weighted with like 45lbs on top and I don't get issues. It's just people having weak connective tissue and being bitches in general
I weighed 240 and did paused reps with 6 pl8s and eventually hurt my posterior labrum
When you go heavy for a long time they chew you up. Haven't done a dip in years and don't really miss them tbh
>don't miss 'em
it's my favorite excercise
No, I tried dips when I was like 120 in high school and felt that.
how fucking fragile are you? did you ever do sports?
I've been lifting for a couple of years now

bar and your elbows, gotta keep your elbows in like with a push up
Bar should be at max shoulder width
Yeah those V bars are shit, I've been doing dips for years on regular parallel bars but those bars at the gym never felt right.
that pain should go away, it feels like that on assisted dips machine then I moved to bodyweight dips on dip station and no more sternum pressure
that's normal
when it heals it won't hurt no more
push thru i had the exact same issue but it just literally went away after consistently doing them for literally only 2 weeks
>that image
jesus dude i feel like i took a time machine back to like 2010
i think i partially tore my tricep or elbow tendon doing dips
my right tricep is noticeably weaker and smaller, which makes no sense considering it is my dominant hand
does any1 know a video that shows proper form dips ? I feel like I am not maintaining proper form when doing them.
I found the solution for me is to tilt your body further forward, and look down. I feel zero pain when I do that.
it hurts less if you add more weight for some reason
If you can't handle dips you're just not meant to be fit.
I can't do these without elbow pain and clicking. I'm a 6'1 lanklet with a wingspan of 6'3 for reference. What am I doing wrong?
Fuck you moron
>natural exercise
moron when will you ever need to do dips? The closest movements are pushing yourself off a floor or climbing, but neither come close.
>he can't handle the dips
> I can't do these without elbow pain and clicking
Stop tucking in your elbows when you dip
set up two chairs at home (weigh them down with water bottles or something) and see if you can't tweak the distance to where there's bo problems
does doing dips while overweight counts as doing weighted dips?
yes
I do them with 40kg full Rom and they never rekt my shoulders even slightly
I actually hurt my elbow doing ring dips, I went down too far.
What’s wrong with doing dips on bench days? Is it not recommended?
>What’s wrong with doing dips on bench days? Is it not recommended?
Someone answer pls
i do them on bench day sometimes but i know what i'm doing
You either can do them or you don't
Just depends on the structure of your shoulders

Why is there literally a daily thread about this? Learn scapular retraction and keep your shoulders back and down
/thread/
>snaps ur rib of ur sternum
Imagine having injuries on a natural exercise that is based on moving up your body with your arms, you are just doing it wrong weak gay
you're not doing them right dummy

>do dips
>scapula goes POP CRACK and can barely turn my head, let alone train anything
Dips is a cope for a weak bench.
gave me a shoulder impingement. fuck these
Dips cured my separated shoukder. Had grade 4, did dips and it connected again
yeah ok until i got costrochrondritis thanks dip garden gnomes
I do dips using the seated dip machine.
