If it doesn’t feel any different to you, and you can feel your tri’s, shoulders, and chest being activated, then go ahead. I personally prefer the load being beneath me and in line with my waist.
I’d also make sure that backpack has strong straps if you’re using heavy weight lol. You could have a disaster on your hands if they break. But sure, go ahead.

It doesn’t seem to affect my range of motion or feel any different really.

@Style819. Hey buddy. To clarify this, I said, “I think I’ve reached positive failure on the 11th rep…”
I have no plans to have the Chest Blast discounted any time soon.

Btw just wondering when will the discount for chest blast be released? Thanks

There are assisted dip stations in many gyms. You can also start by doing a partial dip to about the half-way point. And a 3rd option is the do Decline Bench Presses as it’s the same mechanics; when you get strong on those you should be able to dip no problem. Get my free THT Exercise Bank file for all my substitute exercises.

I’m actually using a regular lifting belt by Weider here. I loop the chain through the metallic buckle. Here it is https://amzn.to/1QBAMmU
But there are special dipping belts also. This one gets great reviews https://amzn.to/1ptZXOb
Note. I gotta link together 2 chains to increase length to accommodate the amount of weight. Others may have to do this also.

Yeah for sure it would be better bolted down. More stability. But I gotta move this thing around from time to time, so I can’t unfortunately.

I agree dips are amazing for upper body development.
