My dip stand was one of my earliest equipment purchases and it was one of my best, I recommend it for anyone taking their bodyweight movements to the next level. You can even do bodyweight rows on some models, so you get more bang for your buck.
Literally one of the best calisthenics short videos 🔥🔥 Too good man, it covers two great exercises and their variations as well as progressions. Doesn’t get better than this.
6 months ago.. I've done three dips.. it was the big mistake of my life! 😢 I still have terrible pain in my left shoulder and elbow! I was doing just great with only push-ups.. It wasn't a good idea trying dips. That's my experience only! But I am sure that dips are a great exercise.. you just have to be careful guys!
Go easy on range of motion at first. Shoulder mobilty tskes time to develop. Always go down slow and if it feels right go up explosively. Personally it feels wrong for me to do dips on parallel bars - gymnastic rings or bars on slight angle feel natural for me.
DB Pullovers really helped me getting rid of sternum pain. Although i did RTO support holds for months and saw good progress i only can credit Pullovers for the cure.
Bro you are the man thank you for the informative and genuinely knowledge seeking videos and I love the focus on alternative methods and routines. 💯💪✝️🇺🇲
The fact is that you don't need weights to progress for lifetime. You can also progress by adding more reps. It also works in lifetime. you don't need to perform only 8-15 reps for bodybuilding. Any rep ranges can build muscle optimally if you train to failure or close to failure. By doing crazy high reps not only good for optimal bodybuilding, it also build more endurance. If you do an exercise in proper form (even in partial reps) you can't do that much rep than you think.
@@jamiel8288 It is in the case that if a person do low to moderate rep with heavy weights regularly switched to light weight with crazy high repetition immediately.They are not used to this training. It is because they don't have enough endurance to do this. But, if you do this regularly like you are progressing by adding reps like 1,2,3,5,10,15,16,18,20,28,30,50,070,80,100,etc..... You are getting used to this and you are gradually building endurance to perform this. We can build muscle with crazy high reps without fatiguing ourselves. Adding reps is like adding weights. Increasing volume or increasing load is the two best ways for lifetime progress.
@@dayneminBig fan of this approach too. Even if I’m aiming for a certain RIR, there’s no point in stopping at 10 just because that’s what I had planned. Feeling the exercise is a really important aspect of training.
@@DevourerSated yup as long as I'm over 30 seconds. Soon as you set a number the brain will trick you lol. Eyes closed not counting makes each rep the first rep.
Dips for me, full body weight and no feet to suport, and you can increase the range of motion so much that you can even start doing HEFESTO (If you are stron and flexible enought). PS: Dips are also way easier to add weights like +20 or + 40 Kg with a belt. DEEP ring dips with weights are the end master goal!
I use the Mentzer program, but only as a base. I do regular push ups with weights first and finish it off with weighted dips on the rings. Not necessarily in that order, just to put my body under enough 'failure ' pressure. Works awesome for me, and have great results for my likes. My goal is only, to get enough strength around my core an glutes, as I've an erupted disc in my lower back.
Push-ups for some reason hurts my wrist. So although i can do them, i can't get through a full session without being uncomfortable. Dips however, once i was able to do them unassisted has been one of my go-to exercises. I can get 10 reps now, and i think once i hit about 15 I'll start doing them weighted. Fantastic exercise. It's my finisher for tri's, and it's also the only exercise i do for lower chest.
Dips and elevated pushups for me. Floor push-ups suck so much that it is not even funny. Elevated push-ups give you that nice stretch and dips are just the most awesome chest exercise in existence
The catch is it's a lot better to get stronger at dips since you're pushing your entire bodyweight from the very beginning and keep adding weight for years, you'll have enough strength to learn advance pushing movements.
Dips hit your chest less and front delts / tri's more given the body position + it's a more advanced move in general as you're lifting all of your bodyweight. One isn't necessarily better - both workouts compliment each other in my opinion.
I never had any issue with dips when I was younger but now since i'm older. Doing dips causes discomfort on my elbows sometimes it causes inflamation. I wonder why.
Yoooo sic way to load pushups in the dip station.😊 Never thought of hanging weight around the back with the dip belt, only thought of loading my backpack.
@@mo4d-7 it’s not but you also don’t know how advanced he is. The more advanced you are, the harder it becomes to progress… 5kg in a month at a high level is normal
@@ekie7473 I think it depends on what you are looking for. If you feel your chest lags but your arms are good, I'd go with those push-ups. And if your arms lag but your chest is good, go with dips. Or just do both like me!
I do weighted dips for triceps. Just don't do it like him leaning forward so much. Stay straight up as much as possible. And try keep your ellbows as near to your body as much as possible For me personally Arms > Pecs.
For some reason I never really feel much engagement with my chest from dips and primarily just my triceps but with push ups I can feel my chest a lot. Everyone is different I guess

If you have shoulder pain, try using rings? Are you nuts?
Push ups or Dips? YES.
Switching between Daddy Daniel shorts and Men's Health Henry Cavill shorts is more motivation than I can handle.
Same. I’d definitely dip and squat for Daniel tbh. 😋
When it comes to fit men, you would think it would be women who swoon over them, but somehow it's always other men who are gay.
…and so the World turns…
Dips and decline pushups are the perfect combo
me every chest day
Yeah deep decline push ups on paralletes are so underrated, top chest exercise
My dip stand was one of my earliest equipment purchases and it was one of my best, I recommend it for anyone taking their bodyweight movements to the next level. You can even do bodyweight rows on some models, so you get more bang for your buck.
Yeah same! Totally worth it
I relate 100%. I got my first power tower (pull/Dip station) when I was 17. The rest is history.
You can reach a 2 plates bench without benching at all just by progressively overloading dips
I love dips. Started doing weighted dips and I'm on 40kg for about 8 to 10 reps
@@FitnessFAQsHow can i rest well??

Rings really helped my shoulders with pushups. Absolutely no pain with rings despite me pushing harder than ever.
I gotta try that.
6 months ago.. I've done three dips.. it was the big mistake of my life! 😢
I still have terrible pain in my left shoulder and elbow!
I was doing just great with only push-ups.. It wasn't a good idea trying dips. That's my experience only!

Bro you probably tore a tendon did you go to a doctor
Just got a shoulder injury last week from a set of dips.savage pain .help

Shoulder mobilty tskes time to develop.
Always go down slow and if it feels right go up explosively.
Personally it feels wrong for me to do dips on parallel bars - gymnastic rings or bars on slight angle feel natural for me.
Lol u just have shit form
dips kill my shoulders no matter what. I decided to stop trying and I switched to other exercises
Good idea. Pushing through the pain will lead to rotator cuff damage.
Guess how I know. 🤨
Try lighter exercises focusing on different parts of your shoulder to get to the root of the problem. Could be a stability issue or just strength
Literally, why i started calisthenics is that our physical training teacher always said that everyone should be atleast able to move his own body.
Dips for me, love loading that end range stretch on the chest! Pleasure working with you daniel 💪🏼
DB Pullovers really helped me getting rid of sternum pain. Although i did RTO support holds for months and saw good progress i only can credit Pullovers for the cure.
DB pullover is a heavenly excercise. Literally grow you wings
Do you have any specific advice on how to perform db pullovers to help with sternum pain?
@@mauri1996fs Alex Leonidas did a video a month ago named "Pullovers are magical". You should get your information there.
I love these short videos with these great explanations. Gold!
I've never seen costocondritis mentioned in a fitness video. Thank you, it's such a hard thing to accommodate in fitness
Ring pushups 😆💪
Reading this is enough to make my chest burn.
Top tier exercise
....Archer PU on rings are even better :)
Great stuff. Yes.
Been watching fitness FAQ for years like 12 perhaps. Appreciate all the videos 😊
OMFG THANK YOU!!! I will incorporate this onto my weekly workout 🎉
Well presented guys 👍
Bro looks like old young sheldon
Bro you are the man thank you for the informative and genuinely knowledge seeking videos and I love the focus on alternative methods and routines.
💯💪✝️🇺🇲
Both are great for your body. If you incorporate different variations it's even better
Why not both.
Great Channel. Lots of important exercise info, in just a few minutes! Thanks Guys and Gals.
Decline deficit pushups with a slow eccentric and pause at the bottom. Absolute money.

Crazy high rep ranges actually do inhibit growth because your body fatigues before muscular failure. Definitely good for endurance though!

These days i just close my eyes and not count reps. I stop when I cant do anymore (technical failure).

I always thought dips are the next level of pushing exercise than push ups

Weighted dips on rings 💪🏼
Loading weights on for pushups is a hassle, but does feel so good.
Personally dips do way more for my chest muscles then my push ups who mainly target my triceps
BOTH, obviously! 😎💪👊⚔️
progressing weighted pushups in the 8-15 rep range us something I never considered, definitely going to add that, thanks
Push up > < dips

Now that's a good quality content, thaks guys 💪
Can you speak about 1 set to failure vs 3 set workouts? I’ve seen a lot on “all you need is one set to failure”. What is your view on this?
Awesome 🔥

I like your weighted push-up setup.
Both. The best of both worlds (as an exercise) to me is a deficit divebomber pushups with standard push ups at the end.
Dips and elevated pushups for me. Floor push-ups suck so much that it is not even funny. Elevated push-ups give you that nice stretch and dips are just the most awesome chest exercise in existence
This is so nice and so well educated progress
Bro jumpscared us
I'd say the end goal is proper form 1-arm pushups but i digress
Dips are better for delts and triceps,but not for chest
Both are king - make both a staple and you will not regret it
The catch is it's a lot better to get stronger at dips since you're pushing your entire bodyweight from the very beginning and keep adding weight for years, you'll have enough strength to learn advance pushing movements.
Thanks
Dips:🗿
Pushups:🗿
Seriously, ring dips a very hard.
Dips got the bottom of my chest cut 🔥
If dips hurt your shoulders, I’m gonna say your shoulders are not yet properly trained.
Dips are for dips. Pushups for the win
Nah dips tbh are better but both are great
Ooo I like how you use the dip belt for weighted push ups
Pushups hit chest and triceps
Dips hit triceps (idk if it hits more)
*_wow it has differences I'm so amazed_*
I just do both in same upper body day and im toast after. Its a game changer when you start adding weights.
Dips hit your chest less and front delts / tri's more given the body position + it's a more advanced move in general as you're lifting all of your bodyweight.
One isn't necessarily better - both workouts compliment each other in my opinion.
For now, I can only do a set with 4 dips. 4rep 3sets
Dips definitely taste better than push ups though.
Nah
@@THE_SKULL_S-vm9zu They absolutely do
I prefer dips as I find myself sacrificing push-up form for numbers
Bro kinda looks like Sir Rowan Atkinson a.k.a Mr. Bean
wow weighted push-ups is mind blowing.. never thougt you coins do that but makes so much sense
Yes! Very good! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
🔉 One arm push ups are the end goal
Planche up: Am I a joke to you?
I prefer both
Both
Thank you for sharing! Some people say you should be able to do 10-15 clean push ups before starting with dips, what are your opinion about this?
Do both
☑ me: archer dips 💀
Ring dips are my favorite
Started calisthenics regularly by hanging for 5 mins as you advised❤
Dips! Dips! Dips!
I feel like dips are much harder and make you stronger. Pretty sure i heard they're the only thing that hits all three heads of the triceps as well.
Thank you 🎉😮
There is no pushing muscles. Muscles can only pull.
I never had any issue with dips when I was younger but now since i'm older. Doing dips causes discomfort on my elbows sometimes it causes inflamation. I wonder why.
His face when he works out 😑
My face when i work out:🥴
Rings to fix shoulder pain? If I had any I'd try it. I've had this tingly sore feeling in my left shoulder, between the spine and scapula, for years.
they won’t just appear, you have to purchase them
Pushups = 64% body weight
Dips = 100% body weight
But still push ups are great..
Yoooo sic way to load pushups in the dip station.😊 Never thought of hanging weight around the back with the dip belt, only thought of loading my backpack.
Who's that blonde guy?
I think no hand pushups is the ultimate goal, nvm
Dips are the best compound movement for the upper body although it takes me a month or more to increase 5 kg in weighted dips.
Imo decline deficit pushups are better
Where are you currently at in your progress for weighted dips? How many reps/weight?
A month ? That’s not a lot
@@mo4d-7 it’s not but you also don’t know how advanced he is. The more advanced you are, the harder it becomes to progress… 5kg in a month at a high level is normal
@@ekie7473 I think it depends on what you are looking for. If you feel your chest lags but your arms are good, I'd go with those push-ups. And if your arms lag but your chest is good, go with dips. Or just do both like me!

For me personally Arms > Pecs.
So how do you do dips without wrecking your shoulders?
Go easy on ROM. Work it up over time. Also consider angled bars or gymnastic rings.
I find Dips are much easier to learn the correct form. Push up on the other hand take a lot of cognitive control.
Difference between gym vs calisthenics,pls .... ?
do both!
The advanced tiger bend elevated one arm pushup is gonna be the one💀
Planche push-ups* are the end goal
I've tried dips but I get a really bad pain in the middle of my chest when I do them
For some reason I never really feel much engagement with my chest from dips and primarily just my triceps but with push ups I can feel my chest a lot. Everyone is different I guess
buff matpat
When you do push ups you get a free plank exercise at the same time.
ring dips are good for costochondritis? dang might have to get back to them.
I click cuz you're pretty
Me by reading the title "Why not both?"
Dips target shoulder and triceps more but pushups overall target more muscles
