Gym brehs: Today I did “dips” for the first time ever and I loved it.

[Sad Bunny]

honestly immediately

i did weighted dips and pullups at the same time during my stronglifts 5x5 journey

just added 5lbs each workout

i got up to 95lb added then went back to bench. at the time (this is like 2012) i had stalled at like 155 on bench but was able to push that up to 210+

mind you i had lost weight from 220lb down to 150, then lean bulked up to 165lb

Wow that’s fire.

Yeah the muscle definition is crazy to see. My chest back legs and arms

the best part is many gyms have dip/pullup assist machines so if you cant do a dip or a pullup you can start there

if i did it over again i would skip bench altogether

power cleans/overhead press >>> anyways

I used to do squats with a couple. 25's on the dip belt felt a huge difference.

I still do those other exercises but weighted dips are the GOAT.

For me, a top 5 exercise.

Weighted, slow and low for a great pump.

Yeah I used the assist thingy.

Used to love dips til I acquired "frozen shoulder."

After some therapy, I am slowly getting back to them though.

Be careful that’s a good way to fukk up your shoulder

This!

I have terrible shoulders so I can't do them but if you can manage it, it is a great exercise and really works well for your chest growth.

these gay bait threads are shameless and occasionally hilarious
