Anyone wanna go for some weighted dip goodness?

I'm aiming for 100kg eventually.

Lol, I maxed out at +37,5kg last year. I think +60kg is a good goal for me (which would be around 160kg total at 100kg bw), so count me in.

Don't know if you will find anyone in hear that is gonna challenge you on +100kg though.

lol, yeah, don't expect for anyone else to go for the +100kg.

But I'm currently at about 65-67kg or so, 100kg dip for me would be about 165 kg more or less.

If you go for 65kg that'll put you at 165kg too.

Wanna go for 165kg total and see who gets there first?

Anyone else want in on the 165kg total too?

Lol might add dips and pull ups, doubt I'll hit big weights like that though

Of course, I am in. I don't know how close you are to those numbers, but probably a rather long race for me. But I'll try.

Dip is the squat of the upper body brah :p



Yeah man this is a long road for me too. I'm at approximately 60kg for about 6-7 reps right now so I still got 40kg more to go. Gonna be at least 4-6 months minimum I think

+60kg on dips is pretty impressive! Could you give some details on how you program them?
Also, what are your BP numbers?

I dipped 190 lbs / 86kg before at 135 lbs or 60kg

+ Show Spoiler +

Typically, I recommend linear progression +5 lbs until you stall which is usually around 25% up to 50% of bodyweight. Then light/heavy (5 RM/10 RM) works well if you need muscle too) or go down to something like 4/8 or 3/6 if you want to bias more strength. Then some form of DUP once you get in the +100% bodyweight range. That tends to work the best (either light/med/heavy or med/light/heavy).

Dip at least 2-3x per week.

I don't bench. I have pressed my bodyweight though but didn't try anymore than that.

I've been trying to progress linearly with the dips, but I think I might have started with too high of added weight. Started with 24kg, which is about 0.3bw and started going up by 2.5kg(5lbs) per week, but I keep getting stuck at 29kg. I can do 1 set of 5 but that's basically it.

I might try the light/heavy thing, hopefully it'll help even if I'm only doing it once a week. I can't really incorporate them to any of my other workouts without it suffering considerably.

Nope, no pain.

I keep all my workouts balanced with push/pull and do prehab work if necessary for various things.

Sometimes if you haven't gone really heavy for a while and your body isn't used to it then yeah it can give you some stress. If you're going to work back into it then you gotta go slow.
