dips and pullups

[beanietf2]

So I incorporate dips and pull-ups into my workouts.

I've gotten up to 4x9 on dips, and 4x8 on pullups.

Getting kinda tired of doing that, so I was wondering what's the next challenging thing I can do for these two excercises?

I don't currently own a dip belt or a belt at all so weighted pullups/dips are i guess out of the question??

I've tried harder variations for dips, like side to side dips but idk, anything else or just do that?

Any harder variation for pullups, side to side pullups? ty.

Up your volume. Try aiming for 40 reps of both in as few sets as possible. Once you can do that in just 3-4 sets, bump it up by 5.

Do you have any dumbbells? You could hold one with your legs/feet.

You can use a rope or webbing tied up for weighted dips.

Buy a dip belt asap. Weighted pullups and weighted dips will pack on the upper body mass. If you can do that many then you need to start adding weight. Dumbells in the feet are cool until you start lifting serious weight then it's not going to go so swell. A dip belt might not be in your budget I dunno but if you want to progress optimally get one makes life much easier.

Look up Dominik Sky, RedDeltaProject and Ryan Ford Calisthenic Videos.
Trust me, you will 100% not regret it.

I would take a look at your form on the pullups. Ive never seen someone able to do an equal amount of pullups as dips in a set (considering both are bodyweight only as you mentioned). Dips are way easier than pullups. The fact that you do 8reps on pullups and 9 on dips makes me think you're doing something wrong on your pullups and therefore not getting the most out of them. Maybe range of motion or something

This. I pinch the handle of a dumbbell between my thighs just above my knees. A dip belt would be 100% less awkward, but the dumbbell between the legs trick works just fine.

i hold it between the feet, not awkward at all.

depends on your goals. I'd say supersetting and 50 reps for each is a good goal. Then you can decide how you want to program them. Either sets with weight for each and certain sets and reps, or if you want to cut rest periods and maybe up the rep range on the earlier sets so you can doing 75-100 total, but say, 15-20 reps, on the first couple sets.

Expect quicker progression on dips though, even if you have the structure to safely go low with them. And make sure your back work has plenty of rows and some rotator cuff/rear delt work too, since otherwise you may just be building yourself up for an injury, even if you feel great.

I put weight plates in backpack for weighted pullups and dips. Bodyweight variations include pullup to chest, side-to-side pullup, L-sit pullup, cliffhanger pullup (hands face each other). Or you can try different sets/reps eg. 11-10-9-8-7.
