If you want to specifically target and grow your biceps, you need to focus on exercises that primarily work the biceps, such as various forms of curls (e.g., bicep curls, hammer curls, preacher curls). Pushing exercises like push-ups, bench presses, and shoulder presses primarily target other muscle groups (triceps, chest, shoulders), and while the biceps are involved to some extent for stabilization, they won't experience significant growth from these movements alone.
Actually, in his shoulder dip position hes going into like a planche position wich uses the bicep and shoulder like crazy, its still more shoulder but the biceps follows right below
@@nananana-tn4tq yeah but this isn’t going to grow your biceps to a significant degree(if at all). Chin ups/curls would be a much much better option. His shoulders and chest are getting much more tension in the second variation due to him not only leaning slightly forward but because he can get more range of motion and a bigger stretch. His chest, shoulders and triceps are what’s going receive an actual stimulus from this exercise in both variations.
Dips are harder of me so I’m trying to build my triceps and chest with pushups. Only problems is I don’t think I’m doing it correctly my shoulders and wrist are under extreme pain when I do push ups
try scapular retraction when going downwards, and protraction when performing the pushing. this will help you take some work off the shoulders and isolate (partly) the chest (kinda like what the guy in the vid is doing for the chest dips)
@@xx-----------xx873 Try it for weighted dips. The biceps are heavily isolated other than the shoulders just to control the eccentric and concentric movement of the dip
@@apeczz i get that i mean like whats with the quick pump at the end of the rep? Why not squeeze it, is there a reason for his quick movement or is it just for looks
Yes you have to add weight to the Dips like weighted Dips I did this progressive overload and yes it really progressed. and my triceps long head grew. if only the body weight is wrong. must be weight
While it is true (and more commonly known) that the biceps work in bent arm positions during curl movements, they're also responsible for protecting the elbow in shoulder supination in a straight arm position. This is an isometric contraction that is the basis of most 'static' calisthenics and ring gymnastic skills. They don't bend their elbows yet they have huge upper bodies, particularly biceps, which they certainly don't get from chin-ups or curls. This is less well-known and is just good to know, not for the sake of starting an argument in the comments...
@@paangofn1201 No. the triceps, chest, and shoulders are hit in any type of dip, and you can place more emphasis on any of those muscles by changing the type of dip position. However, if you lean like in the second dip he showed, you mimic the straight arm position of a planche movement.This mainly emphasises the shoulders and biceps during the lockout at the top - here's why.

No pushing exercise works the bis, dont work your delts either. Chest and triceps, thats about it. Not shoulder and biceps. Shite poor advice. Follow someone if you need advice who knows what they are talking about. If you want to really build muscle, pass on this park life bull and go to a gym instead. Hope this guy isnt charging for training bull. It's easy and free to find here
Also you ever heard of a weighted calisthenics? You’re also spreading Bull information lol. A lat pull down is a worse version of a pull up. A dip machine is a worse version of a dip. Just cause you go to the gym and do machine doesn’t mean you’re going to build more muscle than someone that’s strong with weighted pull ups, weighted dips and other bodyweight exercises. Other way around actually.
