This is the only dip variation I can do around my house and I must admit just rotating my hands has made such a huge difference in my form. This channel is straight up and down brilliant.
@@namelesss8226 what do you think about Jeff cavaliere u tube on how to do a bench dip correctly well 🤔 hello I am Rodney from California I am 65 years old and I have been trained with weights for a long time starting at 12 starting with basic Joe Weider barbell course 👍 set in the 1960s And that's how they were done they were called tiger dips before they were called bench dips and it goes on and on and on if you wanna do the history all the way back to the Roman times but anyway when I read Jeff cavaliers are F calvalier's article on RU-vid I was thoroughly impressed I have I have been training for a long time and doing them wrong wrong wrong They did start to bother my shoulders I tried to modify it By not going deep but Jeff is right doing him the way he recommends what a difference my triceps pumped up like they never have listened to Jeff he knows what hes talking about that is just my opinion so nice to hear from you in your article please get back to me California is waiting have a it's waiting have a wonderful day I still train Monday Wednesday and Friday full body and I love it I train like the old school 1st 1st for health 2nd 2nd for strength and 3rd for cosmetic appearanmedical parents everything is all different everything is about how everybody looks and they have forgotten the culture of what it's all about health look up an article on Leroy Colbert and you will get the meeting potatoes of what I'm talking about I train like the old school 1st 1st for health 2nd 2nd for strength and 3rd for cosmetic appearanmedical parents everything is all different everything is about how everybody looks and they have forgotten the culture of what it's all about health look up an article on Leroy Colbert and you will get the meat and potatoes of what I'm talking about
Bro ...did it helped your lower pecs to be more define?I am also in similer situation like you...but i cant do the normal dibs in my house to get the lower difined pecs...so i want do this...(The only thing i am doing is inclined pushup right now)
Jeff used to bench dip badly years ago in one of his first videos, and that's the reason why everyone should follow his advice: he went wrong, studied and improved, creating the solution himself. GG Jeff, thank you for every single video you made/make
More than 2 yrs later I've just found out the cause of the rotator cuff impingement that stopped me for working out for more than six months. As I always say, "In Jeff We Trust".
@@Paulipogbi Time... dont do exercises you know which arent working for you with the injury. Bench presses and shoulder flyes were a no-go for nearly 6 months. Had a slight rotator cuff tear (had it checked out). It isnt forever though, after around 7-8 months I was able to gently do exercises which required strength from the rotator cuff/front delt area. Now around a year later I am around 95% recovered. Dont let it stop you training, just be careful buddy
Rangus hi buddy, sorry to hear you’re having some trouble here and there. It sucks, but isn’t forever... the healthcare system in the UK is very similar in that sense, you will get initially triaged with an leaflet on recovery exercises, a resistance band and some painkillers! If you think your shoulder/bone structure is now a little out of place I would consider chiropractic services - that is in an extreme scenario. Otherwise research rehabilitation exercises for your injury (they seem dumb but they worked for me!). Good luck brother
Eze Thomas this is actually my first time and please, if jokes offend you then you're free to fuck off and live in your own unicorn safe space Haven. grow up kiddo
William Velasquez Ujwal Thakur you have to externally rotate your front teeth in order to create that tension. Let's take a look at Raymond over here...
Technically, because according to Newton's third law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Meaning as the Earth pushes up on Joff he's pushing down on the Earth. The earth just doesn't feel much movement because according to Newton's second law F=MA. Because force is the same in both cases but the mass of the earth is a lot larger than Joff, the acceleration of the earth is tiny, virtually 0. But it still technically exists.
I stopped doing dips because I gradually noticed some pain. Then I would feel pain in my shoulders doing other exercises as well. I stopped doing dips, and over time the pain went away. Now I know why I had it! Can't thank you enough!
I'm usually too lazy to comment on your videos even though I've watched a ton of them and they're all helpful but man you're a fkn legend! I've been training for like 10 years and have had all sorts of injuries und breaks because of them. Since I discovered your channel I've learnt so much about my injuries and why I got them and how to avoid other ones and that's so freaking important. We all just step in the gym around the age of 15 and just get going and maybe start flexing around a bit and then wonder about different aches after a few years. Jeff is providing the most important thing, which is knowledge, without having us pay for it. Also your routines been killing it for me! Thanks for being awesome!
Great video! I can now do dips without aggravating my shoulder. I have an impingement in my shoulder and I can feel it popping against the bones when I do them incorrectly. Marking those “little” tweaks allows me to feel zero pain and pressure.
JEFF V, you're right but I think it's best if you inhale through your nose and exhale from your mouth. It keeps your breathing steady and from getting exhausted too quick..
When doing Squats, Deadlifts, and Benching(less so than the first two) you should be performing the Valsalva Manuveur to create intra-abdominal pressure to take force off of your lower back and spine. This helps you deadlift without back pain and get out of the bottom portion of the squat more easily.
I have had major shoulder injuries for 20 years now n have learned on ur channel I’ve been doing exercises the wrong way for a very long time...correcting them now 💪🏿 appreciate u brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻
jeff cavaliere .... following your program for almost 6 months .... putting the science back into the workout hell yeah !!! ..... Thanks a lot man ... Without you id be nowhere in terms of a ripped physique !! God bless you and ur family !
i stopped doing bench dips after my shoulders always feel funny whenever i do them, this video really helped, now i can add this workout variety back into my workout. youre the best jeff
WOW, I would never have realized the kind of damage I've been doing to myself. I like the fact that Jeff points out how these exercises affect your joints. A regular muscle-head may not notice this in the short run, but it's good to know to ensure a long life free from the repetitive strain injuries.
I agree with you on this 100%. There are so many ways to train your triceps, with dumbbells, cables,ez curl bar, tricep cable attachments,etc. I have discontinued doing bench dips period!! If you feel you have to dip, use a parallel bar. It's safer ,to avoid injury like you demonstrated.
I was a gymnast and I used to incorporate dips into my morning mat work after competition days. If you push your hips well forward, you will avoid all this. I would do the dips on a built-in cabinet and then prop my feet up on two armchairs, so that the range of motion is properly defined. It also makes it a bit more fun and challenging.
Im crazy about the HYSIVAL THERSIST HAT - THIS is what makes the channel unique terrific value you can't get from mpst youtube. strength coaches ! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this explanation I’m just starting to do this workout for my arms, but to be honest I was so scared because I had an injury on my shoulders wen I was younger playing volleyball. I will do this workout now that I know the right way to do it! Thanks again and God bless 🤗
This the best exercise that made my triceps burns like hell but i had a lot of shoulder pain and i changed my hand position like jeff did. no more shoulder pain thanks to this legend
Jim van der Heijden u think so? I disagree but I do respect your opinion. I think he's ultimately like Jeff. Just trying to help us guys out. Whether that's with personal fitness goals or how to dress. But Jeff is certainly more knowledgable in his field of course
Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. ru-vid.comUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.
Combining the tips from Jeff, you could also put a bench on each side, insted of behind, then you will also be able to change to angle to be more stable and in a more upright position to avoid messing up you shoulders.
I stopped doing bench dips cuz it did hurt my back a lot, for two days I had pain in my back but now I got to know why that sh*t happened in the first place, thanks for letting me know Jeff
This channel can really compress its tutorials into a lot smaller segments. All Jef had to say was keep your back straight when performing dips and that would’ve corrected the issue
Hey Jeff, have a quick question about one of your workout programs. I'm on month 3 of the Max Size program and I'm already thinking ahead of what I should do next. Love the workouts and I literally see strength gains week to week. I want to know if I can restart the program from day 1 month 1, but just up the weights. Appreciate all the videos and work you put in!!
ask under the QA section in the program inside AX, one of the coaches or others will guide you. my advice would be to do it again with increased weights, you can also begin using different weight levels (lower and slightly higher) from your previous months to increase muscle confusion. he also has a video on that as well.
Jeff, I knew somehow you'd tell me this. I loved doing these, but I have watched you enough to know I had to be doing these wrong. Thank you for saving me from myself once again.
Hey Jeff, a friend of mine who is a physical educator told me this could harm me. He said: Most people have wrist and fingers flexors shortened. This position demands a great stretch and tension of these muscles. Long-term effect = flexor tendonitis and medial epicondylitis. Second point, in this hand position the natural compensation is to throw the elbow inwards during the execution. The elbow joint is in gingival, that is, it allows movement in only one plane. With this natural compensation, the joint can wear out. Third, the shoulder joint is not simple. We have three external rotator muscles and only 1 internal rotator. Therefore rotating the shoulder internally is a natural position where the body defends itself (since q has 3 structures to maintain stability), while tension in external rotation, it has only one muscle (usually shortened) to guarantee this stabilization. That is, the excessive effort in the internal rotator, in the long run will promote an increase in the protruded shoulders posture (rotated forward) because there will be an imbalance of forces between agonists (internal rotators) and antagonists (external rotators). So, can u shine a light here and counter it ? I feel way better doing the exercise as you explained on the video, he insists though, that I do not :(
Because of doing it wrong way I injured my shoulder now I have shoulder impingement and everytime I externally rotate my shoulder it hurts or cross my Arms
I have a bulging disk in my lower back which causes pain in my left shoulder so no strain on it is exactly what I’m looking for. I instantly felt this movement move from my shoulders, where I was able to dip much much further down but with terrible form and it didn’t feel sustainable, to my triceps where there a much smaller movement but I didn’t feel it in my shoulders at all and it absolutely felt sustainable. Nicely done sir.
Great video Jeff! No wonder my shoulders were sore from doing the ripper dips, thank you also for the demonstration on retraction and depression of the shoulder blades which is much tougher than it sounds to do..
I've been having trouble with my shoulders since I started doing front and side lateral raises. I thought those were the cause, but having watched this video, and applied what Jeff said, my shoulder pain has gone! Yeah it's more difficult, but I'd prefer not to rip my shoulders out. I also noticed my chest pain has improved as well, could that be linked? A tightness across my sternum, tender to the touch and "cracks" when I stretch my arms behind me. Definitely musculo-skeletal, I'm not having a heart attack or anything! Thanks for another awesome video Jeff!
Thanks thanks thanks,Although I saw many video before chair dips but now u explained me clearly that my hand position could have made me shoulder less 😵. Lots of love to u & gratitude towards u💙🍷
