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.
@@sateddevourer5422 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.
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.
I’ve had elbow pain when doing dips and pullups as well. What helped me was doing wrist curls and wrist extensions with resistance bands but dumbbells also work. Weak triceps and biceps can contribute as well but I guess just see what works for you. If nothing is working out then yeah maybe it wouldnt hurt to get it checked.
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!
Folks that didn't know about it yet, get into doing one arm divebomber push ups. You can keep getting jacked at home for years without anything else. The movement is THAT badass. 😊😊
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.
Daniel I ditched dips to do Military Press and Weighted ring push ups as my primary push exercises, goal is to build a strong push strength foundation, so is it good for that?
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
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.
@@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!
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
Dips hurt my elbows. From athlean -x i saw an exercise where you hold your body 1 arm at a time in horizontal pull up bar, i've little but a progress,, other ideas as fix?
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.
Dips hurt my wrist, is this because of my technique? Im overweight but also am able to do weighted dips with a 45lbs weight for sets of 3. should i just do them with my bodyweight or maybe try warming up my wrists? im really not sure. ive also seen people use straps on their wrist but im not sure how effective they are because ive never tried them.

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

Dips and decline pushups are the perfect combo

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

Dips for me, love loading that end range stretch on the chest! Pleasure working with you daniel 💪🏼
Ring pushups 😆💪
Reading this is enough to make my chest burn.
Top tier exercise
....Archer PU on rings are even better :)
Great stuff. Yes.
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!
Rings really helped my shoulders with pushups. Absolutely no pain with rings despite me pushing harder than ever.
I gotta try that.
OMFG THANK YOU!!! I will incorporate this onto my weekly workout 🎉
Yes! Very good! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I love both
I love Daniel way more.

I've never seen costocondritis mentioned in a fitness video. Thank you, it's such a hard thing to accommodate in fitness
No exercise in the world give me a better chest pump than pushups
Literally, why i started calisthenics is that our physical training teacher always said that everyone should be atleast able to move his own body.
Decline deficit pushups with a slow eccentric and pause at the bottom. Absolute money.
Bro looks like old young sheldon
Awesome 🔥
Weighted dips on rings 💪🏼
Loading weights on for pushups is a hassle, but does feel so good.
Rings for both
☑ me: archer dips 💀

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).

progressing weighted pushups in the 8-15 rep range us something I never considered, definitely going to add that, thanks

Fire
❤
I like your weighted push-up setup.
The advanced tiger bend elevated one arm pushup is gonna be the one💀
I just do both in same upper body day and im toast after. Its a game changer when you start adding weights.
do both!
wow weighted push-ups is mind blowing.. never thougt you coins do that but makes so much sense
W content, as always
Thank you 🎉😮
I perform Slow + Paused Dips, Elevated Pike Pushups and then Paused Pushups for workout.😂
Both are king - make both a staple and you will not regret it
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?
Seriously, ring dips a very hard.
My elbows hurt during dips. Sharp pain any time I try them. Any tips?
go to ortho
@@ptchl I’ve heard that weak triceps and/or biceps can cause it. I’d rather work on those before going, but thanks for the tip!

Both. The best of both worlds (as an exercise) to me is a deficit divebomber pushups with standard push ups at the end.
how do u start doing dips if even the easiest variation (chair dips) cause chest pain (costochondritis)?
What dip belt are you wearing in the video
Any advice for elbow joint pain for dips?
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).

I prefer dips as I find myself sacrificing push-up form for numbers

The sideye scared me to my muscle's myofibrils
Started calisthenics regularly by hanging for 5 mins as you advised❤
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?
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've tried dips but I get a really bad pain in the middle of my chest when I do them
Me by reading the title "Why not both?"

Who's the new guy? 😏
ring dips are good for costochondritis? dang might have to get back to them.
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

ring di to ring push up to bar dip to regular push up. i did this last week and i felt my chest bigger for a short period time xD
I can't get the perfect form in dip, I can't do it 😢😢
Ring dips are my favorite
Push up > < dips

When you do push ups you get a free plank exercise at the same time.

I click cuz you're pretty

Why not both.
👍👍👍
Dips definitely taste better than push ups though.
Nah
@@THE_SKULL_S-vm9zu They absolutely do
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.
Both
Shouldn't the head be lowered during a push up?
Pushups hit chest and triceps
Dips hit triceps (idk if it hits more)
*_wow it has differences I'm so amazed_*
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.
What if dips hurt my elbows??
Daniel this should not be an either or question lol!
Dips:🗿
Pushups:🗿
