Dude i thought i did everything right and just as i thought of dropping this exercise because of some shoulder issues, i checked that part about the shoulderblade position. I didn't retract my scapular properly while going down. Did it, felt waaaay more different than i used to do them. Shoulder feels more stable and i don't get pain from them anymore. Thank you for this !
I'm 2 years late to the party, but I started doing dips recently again after years of no exercise. Came back to this video, and your comment made me pay particular attention to the shoulder blade position in the video. Before I would also get pain in the clavicles and it was somewhat uncomfortable in my shoulders/upper traps area. I noticed that've actually not being moving my shoulder blades like in the video, but I've been just shrugging excessively during the downward movement and my scapulas may have been 'touchingl' only at the upper tips, pinching my upper traps. Now I tried to make them 'touch' along their whole edge as it seems to happen in the video, instead of just shrugging up a lot. Pain and uncomfortable feeling gone while doing them like this :D
Alex you the man! always love your videos. Easy to remember tips that everyone can understand. You should go on strength wars!! Keep the videos coming #salute
You prolly dont care but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
1:50 Chest dip. Para hacer un fondo de pecho, inclínate un poco hacia adelante y también lleva las piernas hacia adelante. También debes ensanchar los codos un poco hacia afuera, pero no demasiado. Intenta juntar las manos en la parte superior para enfocar tu pecho de una manera óptima. 2:15 Tricep dip. Elije colocar tu torso de manera erguida. Tus piernas deben estar debajo o delante de tus caderas. Los codos apuntan hacia atrás y están cerca de tu cuerpo. 2:25 Shoulder dip. También es posible hacer fondos para hombros. Para ello, debes inclinar tu cuerpo hacia adelante como una sola unidad completa. Todo tu cuerpo sale de la línea vertical. Cuanto más te inclinas hacia adelante, más difícil se vuelve el movimiento. Tus codos apuntan hacia atrás y están cerca de tu cuerpo.
I'm 42 and can already see how easy it is to develop the bad habit of not adequately stretching and warming up before exercising. The warning about not getting injured at the beginning and the rings not being the right tool for beginners at the end resonated with me. Thanks. These videos make me want to visit Europe.
It's easy to assess if rings are good if you start with easier progressions. For example I could hold 3x30s hold on parallel bars but when I swtiched to rings I could only make a hold for 25s 20s and 10s respectively. That's speaking about a static hold, no movement yet! Rings certainly take much time to learn.
you guys are incredible!!! I've been lifting for almost a year and a half but now Im slowly trying to change my routines to calisthenics thanks to you guys. Still a long way to go since I cant yet do high level exercises like one hand pushups/pullups, handstands, etc.
Thank you I trust you guys exercising and showing cause it works. I started doing the pushups like you showed and pulls and dips and literally can feel stronger healthier and better. Thank you again for helping!!!!!
Thank you. Do you have any tip, my shoulders keep rounding inward and i get pain. Thanks again for your help and support. Edited: scapula retraction using romboids, and stabilisation using lats. Push chest forward. Do other exercise to grow in strength.
Will there be a "Perfect Squat" video so that all the basic exercises are covered? Please continue this series with all the common exercises, I think it has big value for guys like me who are doing this several years now to check their technique as well as for the new starters to learn it correctly right from the beginning on. Greetings and thank you for the effort you're putting into your videos!
This video helped so much in getting the dip go to the triceps, first set made me feel sore already! Also helped me to fix couple mistakes I did. Thanks!
Greatest chest movement by far, easily progressable and customizable, perfect for both strength and aesthetics. Shame its not as mainstream as the bench press despite being twice as effective.
@@poomipatlurkudom2604 A bit late for me to make this comment. Bench for that chest definition. Dips for that strength-to-bodyweight ratio (basically become really good at lifting your own body).
@@poomipatlurkudom2604 Yup, you can train both. It's okay to stick to one depending on your *personal goals,* but doing both will give you all the glorious benefits. If dips become very easy, you could do dips with weight vests.
Used to be able to do this easily. I mean with terrible form and ruining my shoulders but still effortlessly. Now it’s been years and it’s so much harder
Hi guys! I'm experiencing some pain at the clavicular region while doing dips. I have read some posts and for most part of the people it seems that the pain comes when dropping the bars, but I think in my case it's not a shoulder or subacromial issue, but most likely the pain comes from the trapezius insertion, at the middle part of clavicle. Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to fix it? Thanks!
I've done commercial roofing off and on for the last 10 or so years, you do not want to work out on a roof. if it's 90* on the ground you can expect it to be 110-120 on a roof. Everything's hot. Unlike the ground which insulates, everything is just radiating heat. Anything black is just going to be absorbing shortwave UV, and emitting long-wave thermal. Anything shiny/white is going to be absorbing and deflecting UV from every angle imaginable. It's like being in a tanning bed. Many times installing/inspecting white vinyl or TPO membrane roofing I've gotten sunburned on the inside of my nostrils. Just from being on a roof you are literally being cooked alive, from two forms of energy UV and infrared, working out on a roof is just dumb.
Great explanation! Quick question: My left shoulder I weaker than my right one. Because of this, I usually experience stiffness in that area after doing dips (I checked my form following your video and I'm doing it correctly). To address this, I added some german hang [progression] sets to the end of my work out. Would you have any tips on how to strengthen the shoulders to have better mobility for the dips? Thanks!
Maybe don't do them. MY PT does not like dips. He likes opposing muscles like band work with retracted scapula's. I had shoulder issues after doing dips.
Hello, I have a question, I am able to do 20+ pull ups, and recently I've started to want to learn the 1 arm pull up, and the question is - Will I eventually learn the 1 arm pull up, if I do one arm pull up excersises for about 10-15 min before my back + bicep workout (once a week). Or should I train it more often?
@@jtorres3150 Hey, yes I ended up learning it by doing what I said in my original comment. I would start my pull day with 3-4 sets of an one arm pull up exercise. After about a year of dong this, it lead to me being able to do 3 one arm pull ups in a very good day, however in a bad day I would often not be able to do even a single one arm pull up.
How should you move you shoulderblades when performing a ring muscle up and also how can you strenghten your joints for that movements? Great video btw!
0:58 This! Thank you! Been doing gymnastics for 10 years and I can do my dips really deep. But every time I do dips on the street people tell me "hey, you're not supposed to go beyond 90 degrees, you're gonna hurt your shoulders like this" 😑
@@MrCmon113 Haha true. In my case, it actually hurts to stop at 90 degrees, while going all the way feels good. Especially with squats, it kills my kness. Idk who came up with this, probably some "life coach" idiots. I'm waiting for the day when somebody says "whoa, you're not supposed to touch the floor with your chest when doing pushup, you just have to bend your elbows slighty and then go back"... 😂
Hi guys. Great vids. What about wrist position for parallel bar dips. Do the wrists need to be in line with forearms or can they be flared out to the side? Thank you
Wow so raising your legs activates the chest I’ve been doing shoulder dips thinking it’ll grow my chest it did a bit but chest dips are obviously better for what I’m trying to target 🎯 thank you so much
I have the same...but now it start gone . Try to warm well before doing dips. And most important is try to make your face above or straight. Don't look down. And release your neck muscles. And focus to put the press of shoulders and triceps.
I am pretty sure it isn't that case (in my case). I was pretty good at any other chest exercises. So basically my chest development wasn't that bad. i now know that the problem was that the tissues in this area was underdeveloped. it isn't a muscular problem.
can u give me ur opinion in this routine plss : -max sets of 3( lower chest to bar ) pullups -max sets of 2-5 heavy weighted pull ups -max hold on top ( rest : 3 - 6 mins ) I would really appreciate if u just answered
Yurik Aminov imo wrong order. you fatigue with the normal pullups and then you do weighted but you are not fresh enough to get everything out of it. just turn it around.
