Juggernaut Nation Dip Thread

[Lanithroe]

Thanks for posting all this guys, this is awesome!

[txfirefighter05]

Sounds like excuses to me, lol, j/k. Good stuff mate. I recorded my dips @ 90lbs after deadlifts but forgot to grip the plates between my legs until like the final two reps which cause imbalance.

Good thing you mentioned dip variety as there's one where I do that hits the chest/triceps secondly- it's like a more of a swinging dips the the upper chest very well- I dunno if you tried it or anyone else? It's pimp. During the contraction your chest are pointing directly downward. Definitely a killer.

Hopefully, I'll have a chance to record this week.

How you been?

Lol. Yea. My middle back could use a tampon. I'd love to see your dip style so I can try it! In for the vid! You should get in in the "murph" this week too. Good week! I know you're going hard

[tuneyjug]

So in this entire thread, thus far the most correct form ive seen on dips is from JohnButz. the only thing i'd correct is say keep your head up.
His depth is perfect, the main goal of a dip is to get your biceps to touch your forearms. if you think about it, a dip is like an extension except on a different angle, so why bother doing short range, half repped dips if the form is way off.
in order to properly get a workout, you want to get a full stretch on the tricep. so keep those elbows close and that head up and dip. 4

as for bench dips, again, the deeper the better. but depending on which head of the tri you want to workout, it changes the hand positioning (closer or wider)

happy dipping!

Thanks for this advice I will have to check and make sure that my biceps are touching. I always feel my elbows are too far out. I can get up to 10 unassisted on the dip machine, but can go forever on bench dips. I am sure it is the difference in the distribution of body weight.

We all should just have one big delicious dip festival.. hmm... no, not that type of dipping- i know what you thinking dirty mind

[JohnButz]

Great to see everyone getting in on this!

[CyberSteak]

Going to keep an eye on this thread. May even put up a video for some input on form. Cool idea Brandon.

[Kelgogi]

Awwwww, man. I love you guys. Gonna do a body weight vid tonight. I'll be giving the proper shout outs. Juggernaut strength! I'll be posting up full updates on my blog tonight now that my first test is over.

[charlievanriper]

Dang, Charlie. 52 years young with that rippin body? I'll drive 3 hours to train with you one day. You'd probably destroy me though. Keep reppin Arizona, Juggernaut brother! And I had to laugh at your comment of not turning on the camera. One of my buddies lied and told me that he didn't take the video today. I barely made it through below.

Shout outs to Brandon, Justin, Mr.Simpson (didn't know how to pronounce Karone, and I didn't want to butcher it).. and of course our King of the Dips.. JohnButz! I know I should have gone slower, but I don't think I would have been able to push them out otherwise..haha.

[charlievanriper]

Thx bro and you would be welcome at my home. The first one was only 6 weighted, after I rested 90 x body weight of 164 x 8 then imediately after knocked out 25 body weight. The Vid is uploading on U tube now. Its at 15% with 28 minutes left, I'll post it as soon as I can.

Great job on them body weight Dips, you should get a belt and add some weight bro your putting alot of strain on the joints. Great burn sets though

[Kelgogi]

Don't be silly, John! I saw your video. You had about 10-15 reps left in you. No one can defeat you! You're still the King. Your form is the pedestal that I look up to.

Bravo!

(...starts practicing...lol)

I'm sure you're going to kill it, bro!

That is so freaking impressive, Charlie. I'll be lucky if I can do HALF that when I'm 40! Inspiring! And you repped out more BW moves afterwards! JUGGERNAUT!

[charlievanriper]

Thx I know I had at least 3 more in me and possibly 5 body weight but I felt the sew up job soI had to stop.

Excellent job Charlie! Keep the vids coming!

[Zuperman2006]

BAHAHA I found it. Looks like im tardy to the party!! Ya'll know I love dips and anything weighted.. this inspires me to make better videos with 3 plates..After my shoulder recovers.
If you want to make a bigger chest you need to lean forwards during the dips and put the stress on your chest
If you want bigger TRIS your upper body needs to stay close to perpendicular to the floor and elbows to the sides...

[charlievanriper]

Thx John, Dips are one of my Favorite compound eercises for Tri Development. I used to put the emphasis on Chest but never seen god results hether I hit HR or Heavy I've always got the best pectoral Development from Pushups and low angle Incline Presses.

[Kelgogi]

Taking vids is a great way to see your form. I had no idea how much I leaned forward for example. I naturally put a lot of emphasis to my lower pec area. Good thing, too... because I feel as though I've overdeveloped my tri's.

[CyberSteak]

Alright Brandon I have something to contribute to your thread. Since I arlready had a camera out taking video for a new feature in my log (shameless plug... http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...#post744774053 ) I figured I'd record my dips from today for you guys to critique. Looking at the video now I appear to be rocking too much. I was trying to focus more on my chest as oppose to my triceps. Anyhow...here it is.



Let me have it!!!

[charlievanriper]

other than a couple of you I feel I'm disapearing into invisability. I'm posting anyone home? lol

Looks pretty good CS. You are rocking a bit like you said. Keep your chest up and shoulders back. Look up slightly. Not in front, not at the floor but at something slightly in front of you. Your shoulders will thank you. Depth is good. Shoulders are breaking plane with the elbow. Legs are good bent knees, legs crossed. Nice lockouts!!! You're the man CS!! Great video!

Overdeveloped tri's.. Poppycock! Your arms are back to the bone!

What does your workout split look like? I have been doing a kind of/sort of power/hypertrophy lately.

[JohnButz]

I agree Kel's arms are 1st class!

You look like you have tons of power in the chest/tricep/shoulder complex. I bet you are a good bench presser! Is there a way to move that dip station upward? I bet that would take care of any rocking and keep you perpindicular. Great Job Cyber!

Ha! John I wish that were the case. I've only been at this for just over 5 months (check out my bodyspace pics). Been working strictly on building mass. My strength will be what I work on next.

The bar catches are completely adjustable. So yes I could raise them up. The problem comes with my height and lack of ceiling space. I guess I check to see just how high I can raise it with knocking out the ceiling tiles. Thanks for the comment.
