Thanks to Jeff for doing the videos and to Ray’s dialogue critiquing the workout as it can become really obvious what is incorrect and what is correct ….can help us all reflect on our own forms when we are doing many of these routines as I am sure we all need to be corrected especially when we are getting fatigued and nearing the end of the particular routine

Thanks again to Jeff for putting himself out there

Cheers guys

I have not tried dipping yet which is why I was asking. I am going to try to build my strength as you suggested earlier and work up to full dips using these methods. I like the idea of partials or statics to build strength. Thanks for all the info!

Where the heck are your legs when you are dipping? Sound like you are leaning WAY too far forward. You can dip with your knees right by your chest if that feels safe and most time your legs can be straight down. As well, do partials in the top two or three inches (or even static holds while doing legs lifts) if you know you do not have the strength to lower your self under control.

Here is a dipping video where I pick Larry apart: http://fasterleanerstronger.com/?p=26

Ahem…

True, however it is entirely possible to fail before you can stand up, thus falling flat on your face.

(Trying to redeem myself here…hearing nuthin’ but crickets)

Yes, you are the bomb

You don’t need a spotter on negatives for dips…

The spotter on negatives is only there to help you through the positive portion of the movement. With dips, you just stand up… or jump to the top position yourself.

BOOM!! (that’s cause I’m the bomb)

I do not have difficulty with pushups, but I can definitely improve in that area so that gives me a solid line on a plan. As for negatives, is it not best to do those only with a spotter?

This is exactly what I needed to make the progression from dips, to benching my bodyweight, to trying dips.

Thanks Ray! You are the bomb ;-0
