So I am doing a Low volume split, but on Saturdays, when I do my dips if I am all alone I cannot get a dumbbell heavy enough up the stairs and then stick it in between my legs to weigh myself down. I am having to lug 35-40kg dumbbells up a few feet, then mount myself without the use of my legs, and its just too hard, collectively, after being fatigued. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can replace this excercise, or work out something easier to coordinate?
No, as in I need to drop it at the end of every set so I don’t break my ankles when I land. so not only is it too hard to get it in between my legs by myself, the rubber dumbbells rip at my leg hair, and I need to carry it up the stairs repeatedly. Did I mention its too hard to get it in my legs by myself?
Please don’t make me have to show you a video of me struggling to get this thing on me, then doing the dips.
Ok, never heard of them. I have heard of weight-vests, but that would restrict movement or give arm chafe. I’ll check it out and probably buy one this week.
If you’ve got a lifting belt, get a length of chain with a fastener on one end. Put the chain through the holes in the plates and then slip your belt through the loop of chain. Then put your belt on and arrange the chain/weight so that it hangs down between your legs.
Do you have two flat benches, or a flat bench and two chairs. Feet on one bench, hands on the edge of the other, weight on your lap. Or just get/make a dip belt.
Having to put the weight between my legs was the initial problem lol. I think I’l get a dip belt. Man, none of the local sport stores have them, I might have to order one in!
Yeah, i guess so i didnt think of that. I’l try that out, I could get lucky, and you might have just invented the budget dip-belt!
Saroachman, I dont have any friends that would fall for that. How about you and me right here right now. How you wanna do the payment? You have a credit card? Or send a check by mail?
Not on rings I can do about 40 dips without weight. And not on rings, my pb for 3x8 is 77lb. Half the time I cant use the rings because I’m not officialy part of the gymnastics club, or taking lessons. I havent ever used dumbells on the rings, but when I’m mucking around with the junior gymnasts I get a little kid to climb on my back and I try to pump out a few reps on rings for fun lol. It’s hard for me to get a video because I have to borrow my dad’s digital, I dont have one myself. If I can, I will upload it for lolz.
I didnt realise I would get so many posts out of such a narrow thread. I thought it ended with BF Bulpup’s post lol.
But jee whizz, if you think those dip stats are strong, you should look at CrewPierce’s Physique Clinic strength improvements, its totally devistating. I didnt know someone could get so strong so quickly. Makes you look at the asian kung fu children and realise how amazing they are.
