What is the heaviest set of dips you have seen? Im curious where i stand. I hit a personal best of 4 plates (180lbs) + 10lb belt + my 225lbs bodyweight today for 3.5 reps....not too bad i dont thin....thats 415lbs total
-
i make this spinach artichoke dip thats pretty heavy, snaps regular chips in half so you have to use triscuits or tostitos gold.
-
mmm that sounds great
-
Guess this one was a little more suited for promuscle there tp4u eh? ::)

3 reps ;D All the way, or it doesn't count!! >:(

Dips aren't really something to do "3.5" reps on, brother. If you're going that heavy you're just begging to lose both your shoulders. Good chance you're not going deep either. I don't think I've ever seen anyone strap on more than a 100 pound dumbbell and do a set with good form.
-
I've only known two people that have torn their pecs, both doing dips.
-
I don't know about chest, but I've seen a few guys hurt their shoulders doing dips. One guy even ripped his completely out of joint thinking he'd be Superman and strap three 45s onto the dip belt. The only thing using plates while doing dips ever did for me was get my nuts pinched in the chain.

dj santos does that to get warm

With that kinda weight and only 3.5 reps for dips, you're asking for an injury.. Why bother with only 3.5 reps?
-
My personal best is 205 lbs in plates + my body weight at about 218 lbs for a single. My depth is pretty good and I will take a video if anyone needs proof.

i can beat it. If i got 180 for almost 4 while going to failure the previous set....205 with my 225lb bodyweight is cake

Prove away, Chris and tp4u, when can we expect videos?

Remember when you and I had that talk and I explained to you that about that imaginary line that you cross over and go from annoying to unbearable? You're crossing it again dude. You're welcome in advance :)

Nothing man, carry on.

yeah man, I tweak my chest doing dips. My right pec hurt for a month. Now I only do the machine ones.
-
By far Roy Callendar daily would do FULL dips with two 150 lb DB's hanging from a chain around his waist. Not these stupid half reps the guys do today. Plus he did full chinups the same way. I remember he said to me "I wish I had a nickel for every rep I have done"
-
HOLA BOLA over on bb.com has some insane dip videos.
200lbs BW + 200lbs weights.
-
ive done them with 5 plates around my waiste thats after starting from 1 plate working all the way up no less than 10 reps... got 6 with 5 plates...
-
What do you mean?
He means you never stop talking about yourself and praising your lifts.
To be honest 4plate dips is great. My personal favourite lift of yours is you pushing the big truck up a 2mile hill because there was no petrol in it. Thats pretty hardcore.
-
3 plates for eight full reps at 280lbs
-
branch does dips with chains around his neck
chains
why dont you guys get with the program and start dipping with chains and stop having plates around your nuts and shit like that?
you think youre stronger than branch warren???

my friend at 150lbs can do deep full reps with 180lb for maybe 5/6
Myself at 230 full deep reps can do fresh 6 maybe 7 reps with 180b attached.

The only "dips" you've ever done consist of impaling yourself on your boyfriend Mandingo's giant 12-incher ::) ::) ::)
Sorry bro, just had to say it :)

pinch shoulder blades back and pause on chest every rep.

Only a retard would do dips with that much weight
not only does it put extreme stress on your pecs near the bottom of the movement but it will also eventually wreck your shoulders and rotator cuffs.
lose lose situation-------------especially since you just made an ass out of yourself on getbig....yet again :-\
-
I saw a guy with the last name Nesser or Nessar? His first name was Issac.
He was freaky huge. Probably a 65" chest and at least 25" arms.
I watched him pull off a set of 30 with 900lbs around his waist. We had to estimate the weight because he had five 100lb plates through a chain loop and then strapped a car engine to a special attachement he made for his back.

i cant do dips anymore without having painfull stabs in my shoulders, its a weird thing,
in the past i never had problems with doing them. its an great excercise but i now skip them.
any of you have the same problem?
-
Did dips for a while, After heavy shoulders, and heavy cgbp , I got up to 70 kg weights + 108 kg bodyweight + belt ( it was very light belt , crap quality, It got tore in half later on when I did dips with it)
Hurt my shoulders, and the dips handles were too far apart. The reps were also deep. But imo dips are not a favourable exercise to go heavy on.
-
at times when i hury my shoulders and cant bench or incline without pain i can always always dip for some reason. i am the perfect chape for them or fit nicely in my gym dip station.
imo they are a better exercise than bench pressing. though bench pressing is a better chets exercise.

Just a quick tip for the very heavy dippers here...
In general guys who build up to very, very heavy weights on the dip tend to tear/damage their pectoralis minor insertions (edge of armpit) and/or grind all the cartilage off their elbows and shoulders. Tears of the rotator cuff are also pretty common as are twisting injuries to the shoulder girdle.
The problem is one of leverage...
Most gyms changed over to "safety" dip bars back in the early 80s as 70s style dips (very narrow) were simply too difficult for most trainees. Wider "safety" bars changed the exercise into a sort of decline bench press (think about it, the leverages are the same) and offered a trainee stuck in the bottom position the option of popping out... whereas narrow dip bars leave you stuck in the bottom position (especially if you're a dwarf like me and your feet don't reach the ground).
The best option is to dip with the old fashioned narrow bars (hip width, maybe 18 inches apart) while maintaining an upright posture (don't lean forward) and keeping the elbows out.
I've seen lots of guys who dip with a 100 lbs for reps find themselves unable to manage even a few reps with their bodyweight once the handles are narrower and their elbows are out (as opposed to pointing them backwards)... surprisingly, changing over to strict, narrow dips will add inches to already large arms.
With narrow dips, you add weight to your feet (to stop leaning forward) as opposed to around the waist.
When you can do narrow, upright dips with just a hundred pounds attached to your feet you'll have 20 inch arms.
Just a tip...

you are so right eprick things were so much better back then the music was better, the people friendlier, the weights lighter. as far as starting another thread nothing wrong with bringing back an old one, if it has good merit as i believe this one does. ;D ;D ;D ;D

An old buddy of mine John Pezzote weighing in at 265 did 6 good reps with a hundred pound dumbell in the front and another hundred pounder in the back both on dipping belts....had an official 505 bench press with a two second pause and both his squat and deadlift were 650 pounds.

Phil.
Were there two TooPowerful4u's?
I remember there was a 2big4u, but I didn't know there were two TP4U's.
He was too powerful for me anyway, though.
