Yeah. If you really just want to target chest and triceps, Diamond pushups do the exact same thing and are also more beginner friendly. It's easier to diamond pushups than dips
@@MunachimsoNwadinobi I have trash shoulders from a lot of injuries from competitive swimming (butterfly) with physiology ignorant coaches in middle and high school. It trashed my shoulder stability and getting the forward lean was putting a lot of painful pressure on my AC joint. So I have avoided them for chest. (edit - I've been a series of great PT programs just to get enough stability to bench again, I didn't feel the need to push my luck working towards dips)
@@andrew-qf4xl i have only been able to hang for about a year, but yes. Scap pull ups are the shit. Also love upside down kettle bell presses for warm up.
If your shoulders are already overly developed compared to your chest or triceps they’ll tend to take over the movement just to stabilize you leaning forward. Not to shit on your form but I think the way to isolate the lower chest more would be a slight lean with the legs tucked behind you
I love dips though I am only a beginner and still uses resistance band to do more reps 😅. How do you pick resistance band? I want to buy one for my self. Anything else I can do with it aside from dips and pullups?
When I started using resistance band I bought 3 different types, light,medium,heavy. It's not rocket science bro, its a band. If you're gonna use it for dips/pullups you need a heavy one.
It’s probably an issue regarding stability when it comes to external rotation. Try doing shoulder external rotation mobility exercises before dips/any chest & shoulder workout and it might help. It also might be that you’re maybe not engaging your scapula on your left properly before the dip. Look at a video on how to protract your scapula during dips and it might help.
Don’t go too low on dips they will fuck up ur rotator cuff, i used to go as low as i possibly could thinking that the deeper i go then more gains but thats not true at all, there is a point in the movement where all the tension goes off the chest and triceps and ends up on the rotator cuffs resulting in the pain that u are getting, i had to stop dips when i first started doing them because of the pain and once pain went away i started them again but with the right technique this time and done shoulder mobility exercises and now i get no pain at all and i have progressed to 12 reps with 20kg strapped onto me
Why would anyone want to use dips as a chest movement?? There are much better options. Dips are great for triceps so just do them regularly for triceps or do a better movement for chest. It’s like using pull-ups to train rear delts by leaning back and sticking your legs out in front of you (so you’re pulling towards your face). Just why??
Dips are a compound movement that involves either the chest and the triceps, if performed properly (leaning forward a little to keep the shoulder safe you will feel the chest
You were a damn near perfect creator until this 😢 please just do dips regular trust me the added movements and that optimal stuff isn’t doing you that much of a favor as you think it is. Nothing wrong with the first technique at all.
It’s not added movements it’s changing the movement. It can have a huge affect, incorrect grip and form are huge limiting factors for utilizing specific muscles during a lift.
@@GeoRust1 show me an EMG analysis study or anything that actually proves this technique over regular dips will actually target that muscle more and give you more activation 😂 and the first technique isn’t “incorrect” at all, plenty of people use that technique and have gotten results and strength just fine if you think this tweak will completely change your chest and build it even more be my guess but it’s not necessary in the slightest
@@mellortoonie I'm not talking about this exercise specifically, I mean in general. Differing grips and stances will work different muscles if it's a compound exercise. For example incline presses vs flat presses, there's certainly a difference. It's the same concept with this exercise is my point.
Basically do it more like a pushup if you want chest. Stay upright if you want just triceps
No I promise you the change in muscle activation is not doing you that much of a favor as you would like to think
Ok
@@Bigbroplays 👍🏾

The only chest exercise where i get a massive pump in the chest
You don’t get a pump on Incline bench dumbells? That one always works for me
@@supersaiyan4rambo Not really bcause triceps and front delts take over too much i think
@@nord.blut666you might be doing it wrong then. i feel a pump after one set
@@supersaiyan4ramboye my shoulders are that rounded I only feel pump on flys rly
skill issue
I hate dips. I have to try this. Thx!

@@Lakoda26did you try active hanging to help with your shoulders?
@@Lakoda26I was going to say follow Squat university but as long as you're getting your chest work accomplished nevermind.

Legit just did this at the gym right now and the pump is fire af DAYUMMM!
Shout to you, dropping weight and getting my form right
Exactly what I needed. Got rid of shoulder pain. ❤.
Dips gonna go into my tricep routines either way.
if i wanna emphasize the lowerchest i would do deep incline pushups with the footsteps below it.
Explain this push-up more
Wow. Never thought of bringing knees up. I always struggle leaning forward as the reps get tougher. Gonna try that next workout
Thank you! It helps a lot! I can still feel a little discomfort in my shoulders but it is better ^^
Unpopular opinion, both variations hit the chest and tricep simultaneously…
yes but one of them emphatizes the triceps while the other emphatizes the chesy
Wtf. Yeah this is cool! It's working 💪🏽
I need to try this, thanks.
Bruh I just hit this today and I was thinking “I hate this so much why do I do it it hurts my shoulder” lol then this vid comes up
Thanks bro, was wondering why i couldn’t feel my chest pump much on dip
Great advice
you got the shoe game brotha👌🏽
I see those FRESH KICKS Bro 👈😏👍
For sure, he tripping us😂
Yall think having the knees up is making a noticeable difference on the abs too?
TY😊💝💪
Tyler check out gironda dips. You may like it
Finally someone getting this right
What are the exercises that are best for toned arms?
Ty so much
What is that song?😊
Don't do dips listening to Shreksophone if you want to grow your chest, noted!
Every time I do dips I feel pain in my left elbow, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 🙏🏾
You need to get stronger so keep doing them but when hurts stop and little by little it will be good 😊

I agree with your form… when I do dips for my chest, I will cross my feet and tuck them behind me, causing me to lean forward
Bro loves this song
Can I replace bench or dumbbell press with dips
why do they make the bars so wide? just me?
thanks bro

@@thatonespartan2087 thank you! - next push day, I will defiantly take this advice.

No matter how I do dips I feel it a lot in my shoulder. Dont know how to fix it..

Dips to grow forearm
I have never been this early
What should I do if i cant do a Single dip. Im too heavy
Use the seated dip machine and lean forward.
I cant do this dawg
Are dips a good exercise for lower chest?
Yes
Dip is amazing, you should do it
Чел ты крут !
right, but thats basically a worse version of a pushup, so just do a pushup or bench press

pass. I like my healthy shoulders
not good form at all. you should not move your legs so to the back side of the body. they should be vertical or for more challenge move them to front.
Bench press better
Do it all
