You’re doing this to build muscle. Doing high reps with no weight becomes more of an aerobic workout. It will still work for beginners, but in an exercise like this, you want to make sure you reach positive failure before the 12th rep or so at a maximum.

Thanks Mark

However, I do not go that deep due to shoulder surgery. However, if tweaked and done at a slower pace I get just as much from them. Thanks for pointing this out about DIPS! Like you said, guys if you’re not doing them, ADD them next workout!
Thanks, Jodie

I’m gonna give these a go at the end of my chest workout next week. I did chest yesterday and it’s really sore today. The only problem is my gym does’t have a dipping frame but I think I’ll be able to use the hand rails on the running machine, They’re sturdy enough but quite a width apart, but this will just give me extra benefit on the chest.

Keep the form tips and vids coming because they’re a good reminder of the exercises I can factor in to my workouts!

Cheers Mark.

I like the York Dip Station I’m using. Haven’t tried many different machines to compare it with. Mine could do with being more stable as it shakes just a little when employing heavier weights. I’ll try out that grip tip, buddy. Thanks!

I’m assuming your hips are flexed i.e. your thighs are almost touching your abdomen? I would think this would be fatiguing. Try it my way and assess the difference. If there is none, go back to your method if it feels more comfortable.
@Mike Huber. Thanks, buddy. I’ll add your email.

Nice write-up. I too use a belt and body angle does make a difference. Do you have a favorite machine? Reason I ask is I’ve used the Lifefitness dip combo pull-up machine to do these and absolutely hate it!

I’ve found that opening up my hands (not putting a death grip) on the bar has made me focus more on the muscles involved vs. my grip. Don’t try this with sweaty palms or a slippery setup.

@meh. Zilch. But it will be a good anterior deltoid workout.
@Adam. Throw these in at the end of a chest workout. That goes for everyone. Because of the stretch involved here, you would definitely want to do these AFTER you’ve finished benching.

Always did them straight up as triceps – never done them purely for chest before. Thanks Mark!
