i was wondering if everyone could post their personal bests for dips…
how many body-weight-only dips they can do…
what their 1RM weighted dip is…
what they do their sets with…
just to see where i am at…i started doing dips alot not too long ago and it is probably my favorite exercise and i love challenging my personal best every 2 or so weeks…so yea…please post…
bodweight - never maxed bc it i think it would be pointless… my guess is 100
working sets - 90lbs 3x8
1RM - couldn’t tell you
Never seen anyone do dips in a squat rack before…

sadly, thats how i do em. wish i had a camera to show the setup. btw, this is a basement gym with 5 members. our only ‘machines’ are a power rack and glute-ham raise. gotta improvise sometimes.
22 without stopping
90 lbs (2x45 lb plates) x5
1 rm?
That was some time ago. Maybe this’ll be an impetus to try to get those numbers to that level again!?
Why the hell would you ever do a 1RM weighted dip?
Bear
160lbs for 3 sets of 5.
Last Friday fourth exercise into the workout were dips. Our routine consisted of thirty body weight (227lbs) full ROM followed immediately by adding a forty five pound plate for four reps and then another fory five (90lbs) for two reps. This was followed by flat bench after our tri’s and shoulders were good and fried.
Shaun
Max reps at BW was 35
Sets go BW (175) with 9# for 5x5
1RM is BW + 115 or so i think. It’s fun to try ad drives my set numbers up. havent done dips in a bit though. Wish I could but ive got not extra weight attachemt at home.
Well, I can only use a dip machine (can’t stand). Last night on the Hammer Strength dip I used:
250 x 10
270 x 8
270 x 7
270 x 8
Not too bad for an ectogimp.
I’d guess my max bodyweight dips is somewhere between 20-30.
Last time I did weighted dips was 3 x 5 @ 90 lbs. Never done a max set.
The most bodyweight dips I have ever done is about 57. I’ve done sets of 10 with 90 lbs., and I have never 1 RMaxed.
BW (205) + 115 x 5
BW x 25

I do them in the rack too using a pair of 6 foot long 2x4s. Oh, and a special way to use bands.
Never relly done my bodyweight for reps, kinda pointless. Recently I have done bodyweight (185) + 215lbs for 4 reps, never done a one rep, wouldn’t want to try, might blow out a shoulder.

This is exactly what I was thinking.
I can probably knock out 20 or maybe 25 dips, and I’ve done them for 5 reps with a 45 on me.
But why try for a 1 RM? Waaayyyy too much strain on the shoulders…I think someone who tries for one all out effort is asking for a rotator tear. Just my opinion.

neither have i, probably because its too wide, idiot…i have a feeling you are illuding to another thread…but if you have nothing to say about this one, dont say shit.
yea, i never did a 1RP max either, but i was gonna do it tomorow…youre right it might not be a good idea lol…

BW = 42
1RM = never tried
Best working set = BW(200)+160lbs x 5. This was at the end of a 5x5. Previous sets were 90x5, 90x5, 90x5, 135x5.
