[Broomstick]

i only weight 141 pounds, so I can reach to 40-45. usually i do weighted dips with around 70 pounds

[bradp]

Thats pretty impressive, the most I've ever done is 32. Right now though, probably a little over 20, nothing special

[MattyG]

I've never tried. Probably 20 or so. I've done weighted dips x 4 with 45lbs 6 weeks ago- can probably do more now.

[chrisremo]

how do u do weighted dips? i know how to do dips but i dont think ive tired weighted dips...

[2pounds]

at my gym there is a belt with a chain, and a hook you run the chain through
the hole in the weight and dip away. some gyms have machines that have the belt, and weight

Most guys use a weight/dip belt which has a chain on it from which you hang plates. You can also hold a dumbell between your anlkes, wear a back pack etc.

ohhhh ok..i got it..thanx guys, that would def help me develop the lower part of the chest rite? my whole chest is solid except the lower part so ive been doin decline and flys like 3x a week..would this make a significant differ too?

IMO, yes.

When I started incorporating weighted dips in my chest routine, I noticed a difference in the thickness of my middle/lower chest.

they say head down or back for either more chest or less, i cant remember, also arms in or out

[lowkey122]

the gym I go to has a dip machine but it seems like when you set the weight, you really only are pressing the difference between your bodyweight and the weight you set, is this how most weighted dip machines work?

no, that's a counter balance. that's the opposite of weighted dips.

3x a week, isnt that bit much?

oh and i can do like 20 bw dips....i think, I can do 6 or 7 reps with 55lbs.

[Nainoa]

I'm at the point where I'm trying to special order a Dip belt for dips, as trying to hold onto a DB with my feet sucks moneky nuts, and seems to mess up my form... I can do 13-14 body weight dips at the moment... Which I don't think is too bad, considering I weigh 220...?

I hadn't thought about the Back Pack thing... Do you think it would mess up form?

[momotheglutton]

Hmm...how many dips can I do? Am I allowed to watch tv so I don't get bored and fall asleep?

[ripped_holla]

I never do unweighted dips, but I guess if I go when I'm fresh (before my workout) I could pump out around 25.

[midian]

6
The weight sucks when i go above 5 reps

[aiwass]

I did 20 the other day after excessive benching. Could probably have done more, too. Don't know what my max would be, maybe closer to 30.

[IronMike]

Keep your head down your chin should be pressed against your upper chest, elbows out and lean forward that will put more stress on your chest.

dude i have "hangage" lol it looks like i have bitch tits lol i have to do them 3x

[A-rod]

I dont train for endurance but i have done 25 ( which i think is descent ) dips w/o weight and 5 dips with 135 lbs attached to my body .

[Jotun]

Ah, a good old ego-boosting thread!
I've done 30+ with no extra weight, and 11 with 135lbs @ 235.

[DahKid]

I can do 8 without weight...lol I guess that sucks.

[ferbie]

my 1 rep max is BW+105 lbs. i didn't test for unweighted, guess would be like 25 or 30.

still sucks compared to A-Rod or Jotun

[momotheglutton]

... and 5 dips with 135 lbs attached to my body .

I'm almost there. I weigh roughly the same as you and did 125x5 without too much trouble last week and am improving very quickly. Going to go for 135x5 this Friday

The gym at my university lacks the chain belt that i love so much for weighted dips and pullups, so when I was doing dips I tried to pump out as many as possible in one set, I got 34 i believe. With weight my best was bw+70lbs for 3.

Mine doesn't have one either. You have to buy your own. They're not too expensive though.
