i was searching so many videos, i think you are the only one on youtube, giving detailed explanation, thanks a lot man, my dips are partial rom, mostly because i dont have the strength to depress the scapula. I searched so many videos, and i think only this channel has the gold content. except 1 shorts
Great educational video Micha! I feel like I got a lot from it and I think I'm on the right track when it comes to shoulder extension. There's a lot of subtlety involved in performing a great dip and bracing is invaluable. Thanks
Wow, this video was exactly what I needed.I knew something was off with my form, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was. You explained it so well and now I finally get it . Thanks for the tips Micha ☺️
Thanks! I need to work more on not shrugging the shoulders. And I realize, that I need to "think" more about activating the chest to support the front delts and the triceps. The tip for being more aware of the activating of the core was very good!
Thanks! From my experience, thinking less is usually the better way then thinking more. Setting yourself into the right starting position and then move in a controlled fashion works best
@@MichaSchulz You are right. I want to "install" a pattern. Like when I swing a heavy clubbell, a steel mace, I don't think about the usual way to do it (hopefully I do it the usual way). Since some month I seem to realize, more and more the activation of muscles more consciously. That was the "thing" about "thinking" about activating the chest more.
Sehr informatives Video. Fast alles was Du erklärt hast, war neu für mich und somit hochinteressant - vor allem um langfristig weitere Schulterschmerzen zu vermeiden. DANKE!
I have seen your video and your post guide weighted dip time ago, I thought you said that we should protract and depress shoulder at the starting point (on the top of movement). Why does it become neutral now?
@@MichaSchulz tks man, it's great, btw I am a big fan of your weighted lift contents, I will also update my lift techniques base on your updated guide now
Micha erklär mir mal warum fast alle Rekorde mit der Haltung in 5:55 gemacht werden. Zählt die Form bei so schweren Gewichten nicht mehr? Aber wo sind dann die Energy Leaks?
Tonio 200.5kg - ziemlich aufrecht, Valerio 200kg - super aufrecht, Mathew 190kg - auch recht aufrecht in der Haltung. Wenn man super stark ist, kann man auch mit mässiger Technik unglaubliches leisten. Das sollte dazugesagt werden.
Zusatz: hier macht natürlich auch die dosis das gift. Leichtes abfälschen der ROM um die tiefe zu optimieren kann sicher bei guter bewegungskontrolle helfen. Sollte man aber nur machen, wenn man die Bewegung an sich beherrscht 🙏
Oha Tonio kannte ich garnicht. Was mir aber bei Mathew, auch ein bisschen an Tonio und zB. an Ian Barseagle aufgefallen ist, dass alle ein leichtes Hohlkreuz haben und die Schultern nach vorne kommen, einfach beim nach oben drücken. Oder seh ich da was falsch?
Question I am new to weighted calisthenics and can do 10 pull-ups with good eccentric control but when I see people doing heavy reps weighted pull-ups their is no control in that movement It just looks like they are throwing the weight around but is it optimal for strength and muscle growth? Also won't compromising on technique would lead to various injuries? I am just a newbie tho please feel free to share your experiences
How much of crunch/hinge is okay during dips, cuz when I try to stay upright without crunching I can't seem to fulfill shoulder depth without excessive hip movement
Bro there is a very famous world record holder from France OBIN ,but he doesn't depress his shoulders during weighted dips and he is a world record holder.. can u explain isn't this dangerous?
1. his dip technique is very nice 2. as explained in the video, in order to bring the arm behind the body, elevation and retraction is needed to a certain degree 3. Injury risk is highly individual and mostly depending on load management not a certain type of technique alone
Every time I try to increase the weight on my dips (30kg or more), I start feeling an aching pain in the area between my bicep and tricep (on the outter side of the arm). Has anyone experienced this or knows what it might be? I’ve tried researching it online, but most information I find about dip-related pain is usually focused on the sternum or shoulders. For context, I don’t train with a lot of frequency or volume-I typically do only 2 sets of dips every 5 days, aiming for 10-15 reps, and I push myself to go as heavy and intense as I can within that range. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
oh my god, no way. that's exactly the problem which is still holding me back on my dip progress for the last couple of months, exactly with this weight (30kg). I'm not sure here but I believe it might be tricep tendonitis, from my training experience I can imagine I didn't manage my fatigue well and kind of built up too much tension in this tricep area over the course of months. I also trained 2 sets in a session, both until complete muscular failure: this led me to progress to 30kg in the first place. I actually also achieved 40kg for 8 at one point and then regressed back to 30 due to this tricep issue. At the end I think insufficient recovery paired with regular high intensity led to this, right now I'm trying a different method (sets not until failure but close to failure) and also aim to maximise my recovery with hope it'll improve eventually. At some point I almost gave dips up but I try to stay positive, I think plateauing is normal (even if for very extended periods of time..) although it is VERY frustrating
@@andres260 Wow, it’s crazy how similar our situations are! I also considered tricep tendonitis as a possibility, which could be the case. One technique I found that might help alleviate the pain faster is using a tennis ball. You place it between the painful area and a wall, then apply pressure by leaning your body into the ball against the wall. A few months ago, I also managed to hit 40kg, but only for 5 reps, haha. I think my biggest issue is that I train with extreme intensity, so even with low volume, I still end up injuring myself because I push too hard. It sounds like you might have experienced something similar!😅
Yeah I might try the tennis ball thing, I kinda knew this but I somehow never thought of applying it on the triceps. At least we know now it's not some personal issue but rather a result of bad programming / insufficient fatigue management. I think I'll try to stay away from failure for some time and see if I can build up the weight again, I'm sure we'll get through this xD

Love the Video Micha , More comprehensive than I was expecting .
This the type of tutorial that all tutorials should be measured against
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback as those kind of videos take quite some skripting effort
@@MichaSchulz It's clear to see from this video why you are such a great Coach
Thanks 🙏
Micha! This is gold! Im gonna let my ego aside and start focusing on this solid advice!
Great educational video Micha! I feel like I got a lot from it and I think I'm on the right track when it comes to shoulder extension. There's a lot of subtlety involved in performing a great dip and bracing is invaluable. Thanks
Finally i can fix my fooking shitty form dip😫 thanks brother🙏🏿
You are welcome 😃

Gerne!
Always very informative, thank you!
I love dips ! Doing weighted down dips once a week for extra chest work my PR is 62 weighted +48 bodyweight (110) in a workout.
Un f your dip❌️
Un f ur chest tendons and shoulder ✅️
With this technique, I managed to take my dips from 20kg to 35kg
That is a good vid!
12:28 doesn't that contradict other dip advice you gave when loading them? Not letting the arm go too far back and not letting the shoulders elevate?
Yes to a certain degree I changed my opinion based on more knowledge 🙏
@@MichaSchulz so did you change your technique even for very heavy loads?
Yes, very little crunch and pretty upright also for heavy loads
Really good content! How Would you manage to dip if you can’t stay with straight leg (bars are too low and can’t be moved in the gym) ?
Thanks!
Tuck the knees 👍🏻
I have seen your video and your post guide weighted dip time ago, I thought you said that we should protract and depress shoulder at the starting point (on the top of movement). Why does it become neutral now?
Because I understand the human body much better now and I update my opinion based on that 🙏
@@MichaSchulz tks man, it's great, btw I am a big fan of your weighted lift contents, I will also update my lift techniques base on your updated guide now
About what you said in the minute 13:07; can I do it with barbell rows?
I would recommend a more stable set up. If you don’t have any other equipment, probably I would prefer landmine rows
danke!!

Ja das passiert bei sehr schweren Gewichten. Es ist aber nicht hilfreich, man versucht es eher zu vermeiden.
Hello brother!🙂 When doing dips, should I roll my shoulders forward?
Hey brother, if you can’t answer that on your own after seeing this video, I failed
What are your thoughts on passive deadhanging where the shoulders are completely relaxed?
Will you give me a context?
@@MichaSchulz Doing them to improve or maintain overall shoulder health
Not a game changer for me

Question
I am new to weighted calisthenics and can do 10 pull-ups with good eccentric control but when I see people doing heavy reps weighted pull-ups their is no control in that movement It just looks like they are throwing the weight around but is it optimal for strength and muscle growth? Also won't compromising on technique would lead to various injuries?
I am just a newbie tho please feel free to share your experiences

You gave the answer, as much as you need to hit depth! 👍🏻

3. Injury risk is highly individual and mostly depending on load management not a certain type of technique alone
I was working on my technique for a while but for some reason dips injured my lower back a bit. I have no idea what caused this can someone help ?
Train your lower back brother

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Can you specify the region more precisely?
@@MichaSchulz I believe it's the upper and outter part of the brachialis muscle, that sits closer to the long head of the biceps.
oh my god, no way. that's exactly the problem which is still holding me back on my dip progress for the last couple of months, exactly with this weight (30kg). I'm not sure here but I believe it might be tricep tendonitis, from my training experience I can imagine I didn't manage my fatigue well and kind of built up too much tension in this tricep area over the course of months.

was that a fart? 07:12
