@@MichaSchulz What if they are both adjustable in width? Is parallel still better? Or will there be no differences this time? It's just that I'm putting together a dips for myself, so I want to be sure about these things
Any recommendations on breathing for reps? Like for a set of 5? Deep breath 3 reps and then deep breath and then 2 more? Or shorter smaller breaths between?
Great work, I will use this with my weighted pullups. How low should the weight hang? I read it can make a difference in how much you can lift in pullups.
Well, not really the opposite if you try to focus on one finger to the side vs my tip don’t you think? I would keep it less generalized in a real coaching anyway and take a look at the individual technique and then see what actually helps the person to become stronger
Such a beautiful rep brother. I try to get my elbows as far back as possible, putting my shoulders into as much of a stretch. I’ve been doing dips since I was a kid practically, so I think I’ve built some strong shoulders over time. Especially once I dialed down that form, and was able to add Today I am able to dip 135 for 5 spotless reps with a slow eccentric. Then I do some speed training with a lighter weight. I’ll do static holds sometimes, but I love to stretch out with dips with bodyweight
Amazing tips! I’ve been working on pullup strength for a few weeks exclusively. I fell into a couple of these on accident and noticed a huge difference in my pulling strength. I’m looking forward to trying the other tips tomorrow on my next pulling session.
They definitely help. As I said I stumbled upon pulling straight up and around the bar and holding the weights between my legs and contracting abs. The pinky trick and keep eyes on bar has also helped a lot. My strength has definitely improved. Thanks so much!
Forget your scapula. Focus on your arm moving in the shoulder joint. The scapula will follow with its natural movement by slightly retracting and elevating.
