Secrets From The Strongest Man In Calisthenics 

Yeah, a small extension is inevitable.

Also people use "little cheats" on everything to lift heavier ,big arch and very wide grip on bench ,lowbar and wide stance on squat ,kipping on pull ups ,those may be not the most hypertrophy "optimal" things but nobody cares when you are lifting heavy ass weights

@@fabioooh He is not cheating a bit. Its a strict dip with +195 KG.

For bodyweight, it does look bad but for heavy weights yeah def

@@fabioooh Why cheat? Just get stronger and do it right lol

Good job mate , do not give up 🔱

Are you saying the weight is too much for him to maintain form?

@@brianlamptey4823 he has to compromise his form to lift more. His goals are different from Daniels's

Two different goals. One is to lift the most while the other is hypertrophy.

@@dvm7005 Yea just like a powerlifter bench with a crazy arch vs a bodybuilder bench

@@brianlamptey4823 indeed

Yo nice

Reps?

@@embersandash Approximation sets, starting with 30 lbs, one rep, then adding 10 lbs, one rep again repeating untill I reach one fail rep (100 lbs was no accomplished), so I downed 5 lbs and completed a clean rep. So basically my train was, 1 rep for 20, 30, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 100 (f), 95, then 8 paused reps for 90 lbs. Then 4x70, 6x60, 2 sets of 8x50, 2 sets for 8x40 and 2 sets for 8x30. I didn't reach complete muscle failure but I feel very proud about my performance. Completed in 1:20 ~1:40 ish hours.

@@lewin6348 that’s very impressive. My PR is 70lbs for 8 reps at 165lbs. I’m now 160, and I’m at 65lbs for 8 reps. I’ve never tried to 1RM my dips… maybe I’ll try.

@@embersandashgoing for 180 @ 138🔱

good point, this video was well produced. Most other channels would just have clipped the webcam and called it a day.

I’d say the weightlifters have the answer as they’re, in my point of view, healthy and fit. And it seems to be : yes I know that some train dips to strengthen joints and stretch the muscle. Engaging your pecs and shoulder in a stretched position train with the joints, the neurologic part and the explosive aspect of the muscle. But this way of training is really complexe : joints will be damaged purposely and therefore the athlete would need longer rest periods. For a beginner it’s almost 100% chance of injury because of the lack of self-body and (essentially) scientific knowledge. I’m no doctor or trainer, but I’m pretty sure I’ve read some studies about this. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

There is clearly dsoemthing wrong in his form. The weight moves half of what his shoulders do. Say his shoulders are lowering 30 cm from top to bottom position but his hips (with those the weights) are only going down by 15-20 cm. There is some compensation happening when he uses higher weight. If i learned anything in these last 10 years is that in a case like that take away some of the weight and stricting the form is best

If you want to use dips to gain muscles, this isn't the best technique to use, by a long shot

Bullshit. Look how deep he can go at 3:20

I honestly don’t see how anyone can argue with this? Sure the guy has incredible feats but this seems like some bull.. Am I missing something?

@@NotYourCitizenAnymore you re not missing anything! It basically becomes a "hold the weight, dynamic movement". You wouldn t be able to go into a 90 degree angle with 150% of your bodyweight strapped on your waste, so he s still strong. But he s not strong enough to move it basically

I think it is on strenght bar dips, rings are much different.

Shrugs, whether with a barbell or upside down on a pull-up bar

inform me when u got answer

@@lior3217 i train my main lifts most of the time with high load usually 80-95% of 1rm and every month i take a deload week Until now it worked for me but some says you need to alternate

No brother no brother don't train with the same intensity all year around because if you train above 85 to 90% off your 1rm all year above around then you will not be able to progress as your progress will be stagnated because you know that if you train above 85 to 90% neural neural adaptation takes place but there's you know there's a limit to the neural adaptation taking place because the if your body weight is 80 kg is the max you can tip by neural adaptation is like I think if you have a decent genetics then you can tip 150 kg is so I suggest you to work on hypertrophy also you can train bw 8-10 rep range and and you should progressive overload within the range of 8 to 10 reps so in this way and then a venue at do progressive overload then when you think that you have built enough muscles for that given cycle, then you can start turning in the 125 range and that will train you neural adaptation Plus myofibrillar hypertrophy and you will get pretty strong and then from there you can do peking if you're an if you are a competitor but if you are not a competitive Street lifted than you do not need to do pigging then simply again start hypertrophy of face you know don't training 1-5 rep range , all year round that's my advice to you.. I can dip 100kgs with the body weight of 70 kgs.. and I am a competitive Streetlifting athlete

@@akthebeast6497 thanks for this great answer,, so you sugest that every 3 month i should alternate between strength and growth?

Yo, at the end i came in with the answer. Pull ups are recoverable very easily, therefore you can train with high intensity all year round. Just make sure u increase the load in the right time and take deload sessions or weeks when needed. (when i asked I did 35 for 8, now I do 60 for 8)

Haaw man, i have pain in my sternum for like a year and a half, i've seen osteopaths and all but no one know any solution and nobody talk about this

Watch Micha Schulz his video about sternum pain

From my experience, the directions your muscles are stetched on the dip will determine that pain. If I go wider it hurts at a certain stretch point. Closer no problems at all.

I started keeping my legs in front. Kind of like a half l sit and no longer got sternum pain.

Go for shoulder width dips bro, don't do them on very wide bars!!

i'd say some of these look like 20% triceps 80% neck how to do the weighted nod

@@simcard027 😂😂😂

@@simcard027 LOL

For me it's 60% chest 40% triceps but I do weighted gym ring dips

If you watch/listen to the whole podcast, he specifically mentiones that his form is not optimal, he only does the movement necessary for competitions

add weights and cut down rap range, at least sets of 8-10

^^^^ What he said. Every 3 months or so, switch up the rep range you're working in (as in lower reps, but higher weight OR higher reps and lower weight)

Also make sure you do paused reps. You can also do paused dips with a deadstop. Kills palteaus like nothing

I'm sorry but 12 is too low of a number to have as a plateau, you're not training right

@@moustaphamoussabouh9985 Thats nonsense. Plateaus can happen in any rep range, because rep range simply has nothing to do with it. Plateaus happen (when nutrition and rest is in check ofc) when you've trained a certain "style" long enough and the body starts receiving less and less training stimulus from it, because it's used to the challenge.

Increased intensity. Great for building strong and FUNCTIONAL muscle

​@@lucadellasciucca967 Per chi fa i "Dip" con gli anelli da tempo, suggeriresti più ripetizioni oppure aggiungerci un carico?

You do undertand that this video is meant and being watched by normal people right? The litteral title is how to dip and GET STRONGER! Having to much weight that you need to compensate form is not the way to get stronger and should not be how you dip.

My brain hurt reading this bro

this gave me a stroke

His fingers probably had a stroke typing this

I think that reaction is more like "ah yeah, of course! Good point" of something like that.

@@Mocorn He definitely looked annoyed, that’d didn’t look like he was agreeing with him

@@wd7643 thing is, he's the one that edited this video. Why did he chose to switch to this camera angle just to show annoyance? It doesn't match his positive and upbeat style to do something like that!?

Because it won't allow you to load max weight

Same shit I wouldn't go as heavy. I do moderate weight but with higher rep range. 15-20 reps, never do anything below 10 reps

@@moustaphamoussabouh9985 that is 100% not why! They are simply less available and less known in general. If you ve been doing dips on parallels, doing them on righs will guaranteed make you stronger then you are right now.

indeed

you re not wrong

Stay weak

@@Jhadar lols

The weight is literally still hanging off his body, what point are you trying to make?

I agree. The guy is in no position to teach in my opinion as well. His form is terrible for people trying to become stronger. The video should ve been titled, how to strap as much weight as possible during dips.

He's been doing this for many many years, this is streetlifting, form isn't meant to be nice and perfect, just like power lifting where deadlifts are sloppy and squats aren't as deep, if anything, YOU aren't in the position to criticize this guy 😂what's your 1RM on dips anyways, unless you're too scared of dips cuz you're gonna injure yourself 💀

@@Jhadar My dip form is actually more or less perfect! Been practicing for the best part of 10 years. You d poop yourself how deep i m able to go and how i m strong throug the entire range of motion. My point on this video was that we re presented with poor techique throughout the all thing. It s not a friendy video for people that don t already have knowledge of the matter imo

I didn't ask for your dip form, I asked for your 1RM

Yeah Bert ... I wonder why you didn't ask "What do you bench"? However, do you even know what 're talking about? I couldn't care less if this guy perhaps has an acromiom shape that permits him any sh*tty form one can imagine - or if his shoulders end totally f*cked up in some years. I want to see, learn, practice and improve good form. And I also couldn't care less about "what do you bench" or what's other guys 1RM. Makes sense?

Streetlifting and weighted calisthenics aren't exactly the same, that's why Daniels from looks better and why Matthews dips are much heavier, understand the difference and purpose first before making comments like this

Precisely. This was embarrassing.

You are crazy man, if Daniel was dipping near his max, his form would also alter just Matthew's form would be flawless if he was dipping easy weights for him. Dipping max weight isn't art competition, as long as the rep is validated then the form nazis can say nothing

He focused only on street lifting technique. Not for everyone

@@moustaphamoussabouh9985 “Form nazis” 😆 Proper form is paramount, everything else is isometrics. “BuT hE’s LiFtInG a LoT oF wEiGhT”

That is the form used for streetlifting competitions. It allows you to use the most weight.

???

keep barking

Bro´s a world record holder and you´re critizing his form... basement dweller take

@@dylh7559 As a world record holder, he should be embarrassed by his half-assed dips. But, feel free to do quarter reps on important movements like weighted dips…maybe you can ask him for advice on calves next, looks like he’s been doing shit-reps on those too! 😆

The guy has been doing weighted one arm chin ups and 100kg+ dips with perfect form since he was 14 15 years old. i don't think your opinion really matters to him or to daniel lol
