Anybody here do dips everyday in the name of endurance? If you do dips everyday, could you please tell me exactly what you do?
I am doing dips everyday, trying to increase a rep each day, so far it's been working but sometimes it feels like I'll stall really quick. Just throwing this out there for some input.
Edit: FML doing 3 sets of dips everyday trying to increase a rep each day doesn't work. Will try the 10 sets strategy, see if that works. If it doesn't, it just means doing dips everyday unless you're really underweight.

[dips are great for tris and shoulders....but it depends on the position of the arms....if they are close to the body...they work the tris/delt....if you flare the elbows forward as if you want them to come forward(impossilbe) that give a great position for the chest...it take practice but it works

No.
Muscle needs to rest in order to grow unless you are on some type of endurance crusade. Increase resistance gradually as you get stronger inside a specified rep scheme to build strength and/or muscle. This pretty much applies to all exercises including dips. Rest appropriately between dipping days depending on how hard you taxed your self with the previous sessions work load. The harder the workload the more time it will take to recover on average.
Very basic knowledge.
Also, what is the point of increasing dipping endurance? What does one gain? I use dips for chest and triceps development. Nothing else.

Why ask for advice at all if you're going to turn it down when it's given?
If you're looking to get to a heavier bench increasing your endurance isn't how you do it. It's pretty well known that significantly increasing reps into the endurance range will have a minimal at best effect on the overall strength of the muscle. You'll get more endurance, meaning you can lift the same weight more often without tiring.
It's also well known that muscles require recovery time to regrow.

It's also well known that bodyweight exercises are easier on the body than barbell exercises. You're acting like I'm ignoring everybody here. I've already accepted the idea that it may not be possible to increase the reps every day. I am just trying a different every-day strategy.
That's the problem, I am not strong enough to just "keep benching". If I cannot do 30 dips, I will not look like I cannot do 30 dips. I won't even be given the chance to bench 145, the spotter would hug the bar for the whole set... because I don't look strong enough to bench it.
If I don't get strong at dips, I won't get stronger at bench and I won't get the chance to earn some respect and bench more in the process."ham boy"

Your benching needs are whatever you can bench right now. Why do you have to do 145 in order to bench? Did you just arbitrarily choose this number?
If you can't, then swallow your ego and start lighter.

How many times do I have to tell you?! The spotter will not even let me bench a plate by myself because he doesn't think I can do it!! There's no point in benching if I can't even get a good bench workout!
3x10 dips is not strong enough. Just ask Rippetoe. He's old and fat and he can do better than that..."ham boy"

wouldnt push ups have a better carryover to the bench press?.. and i dunno why you've got an obsession with dips, but if your going to do them atleast do them right in order to reach your goals. its like someone running miles everyday to prepare for a sprint.. it dont make sense mate.
i dont see why you dont just bench, just start lighter. if your 'friend' wont spot you then just find some dumbbells and use them instead. and dont do it everyday, once or twice a week will suffice.

It is hard to do weighted pushups smoothly. It is much more comfortable to add weight to dips. Dips will get me stronger and bigger. Clap pushups are better than dips though, but I can't really do clap pushups...
With the ability to do 30 dips, I'm pretty sure a 145 bench won't be a "sprint".
Dumbells aren't as satisfying to the ego(of an untrained dude) as benching 145... There's no point in doing dumbell benching unless I can bench with 70 pound dumbells.
So I did 10x1 yesterday. It was easy, which I guess it's supposed to be. Will do 10x2 with 2 minutes rest in between, see what happens."ham boy"

my point is, your training for endurance when your goal is max effort, so in that respect you can compare it to a sprint.
why dont you just start a real program, benching 145 is fak all anyway, i dont think anyone can see the point of what your trying to achieve, more to the point, the way your going about it.
its your call so you can do what you want, but good luck getting there anytime soon.

Some of the best benchers dip heavy. Pat Casey for example dipped with 300 pounds + his 300 pound BW for a total of 600 and he benched 600 back then(inb4 short arms).
I am just dipping so I can get stronger, bigger, and increase my bench. There's nothing "complicated" about this. You show me someone that can do 10x10 dips with a 1 minute rest in between sets that has small arms."ham boy"
