hey guys... want to start off by saying i am capable of doing dips unassisted.
however, i hurt my shoulder about 3 weeks ago so i did some prehab movements for it. It's been feeling much better, and bench, incline DB, overhead press, and all other upper body movements feel fine besides dips which feel like hell on my shoulder.
Any ideas for a replacement exercise? The only exercise i thought of was pullovers, pushups, and decline DB. Pullovers also feel like **** on my arms for some reason. Pushups- even going weighted i doubt you get the same benefit as dips. Also thought of Decline bench, but i don't think that gets the same stimulation as dips.
I am starting a full body routine this sunday that I planned looking like this... i was thinking that instead of dips i can add CGBP to day 2 to replace dips, and then add a leg exercise to day 3 (was thinking of lunges but hate them lol). However if there are any good exercises that are worthwhile of doing i would love to do it in place of dips because i was really looking forward to doing this routine the way it's planned out. I have seen what works/doesn't work for me and love this
Thanks! my routine is;
Day 1
Squat- 3x5-8
DB Row- 3x5-8
Incline DB- 3x8-12
Tri Pushdowns- 3x8-12
Standing Calves- 4-6 sets
Abs
Day 2
Front Squat- 3x 4-5
Clean and Jerk- 4x3
Chinups- 3 sets sub failure
Dips- 3 sets sub failure
SLDL- 2x8
Abs
Day 3
Deadlift- 1x6
Bench- 2x5-8
Seated DB Press- 3x8-12
Curl Variation- 3 sets
CGBP- 3x8-12
Seated Calves- 4-6 sets

"225, 315, 405 whatever. Yeah these benchmark digits come to mean a lot to us, the few warriors in this arena. They are, however, just numbers. I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel
