Glad I wasn't the only one. 1am trying to bore myself to sleep and then CRACK! Fucking heart attack city.. 😱😂

[@cannonball666]

I once had diarrhea, but I went to the gym anyway to do dips. You wouldn't believe the number of dip shits I had to deal with.

[@franciscodiaz3028]

[@Asator87]

Yea, its shitty situation

[@joseb.1681]

I'm so glad I can finally do dips without the assistance dip machine. I did it last night late at the gym and I was just like "Woah, I don't need this machine anymore!". I"m so happy to reached a new achievement. My chest really is getting a lot stronger.

[@davidthomas8113]

+Jose B. Keep going bro. Took me 2 months to get without assistance. Now at weighted 105 pounds . Do weighted pull ups too.

[@solotaughtme]

+David Thomas how many BW dips could you do before you started doing weighted?

[@davidthomas8113]

Frequentgamer: You should start adding weight , when you can complete 6-8 reps. Keep adding weight, keep your rep range between 3-7. Highly suggest pull ups too. If you master these two movements with weights, you will have an impressive upper body and real strength DAVE

[@solotaughtme]

David Thomas okay cause i've been in the 10-20 rep range (depending on weight ive lifted earlier in the session) and i wasnt sure whether i should start adding weight or not... how can i add a bit of weight without using a belt/vest to start?

[@davidthomas8113]

You should add weight right away. Try 25 pounds and see how many max reps.

[@MrrSquishie]

Always wondered why my chest never felt sore or grew from doing dips. Worked up to 60 pounds for 6 reps at 147 body weight. Now I can finally start doing chest dips. Thanks buff dudes.

[@DixonDeadlifts]

*Never* flare your elbows out guys. There's a reason why people injure their rotator cuff and tear pecs from bench pressing: *Flared Elbows*. Keep your elbows in whether doing push ups, bench pressing, or dips. Good day.

[@lexbeltran1354]

CocainaBlaze Good advice.

[@user-gx9wt7dn3t]

Agree. Just keep your shoulder blades same way as you would during bench press. Shoulder blades back and down

[@Tuf_frijoles]

They naturally flare when you do a chest dip, but if you over exaggerate this you can injure yourself. Especially if you are a novice dipper.

[@JonathanRamirez-tz4fo]

Keeping them tucked in would focus too much on triceps if you’re trying to focus on chest. Elbows shouldn’t be flared either but kept at a comfortable 45* angle

[@НиколаКраев]

@@Tuf_frijoles "a novice dipper" lol im gonna use that one

[@roballister5269]

3:10 "if you go too fast youre just doing whatever you can to complete that exercise". wise words

[@zedgrace2278]

Hey dudes could you make a DIY dip station? Nice video!

[@buffdudes]

great suggestion Zed! We will make a DIY Dip Station vid for sure.

1:52 that startled the shit out of me

[@jameswillis1742]

i just added dips to my routine.. im starting out with the dip-assist machine... i can do about 4 reps with just my body weight so my coach has me training on the dip assist until i get good form and slowly reduce the assist...so i thank you for your tips!

[@iphoneftwpwnwtfbbq]

wtf, Snap City? I don't wanna go there. Never doing dips now :o

[@gogorabbit4]

Straya LRG Don`t be a little girly man. Get on the dip bar!

[@elstupidproduction]

Jarrod Flint Actually I fucked my inner trap doing dips recently. I saw my mistake in this video. I'm glad this is out.

I bought apull up and dip 2 in one machine can you made afull body workout with it please

[@jefferycoleman3781]

To anyone claiming this is bad for your shoulders, I had a very bad rotator cuff injury about 3 years ago, took me over a year just to even do a push up. I have now been doing dips for about 6 months with zero pain.. I do 5 sets of 8-12 and add weight sometimes. Proper form..

[@Davidxdlol]

Ferral Singer you probably didn't stretch so your joints were cracking.

[@debsijb5710]

Ferral Singer I had the same problem if you are stretched and warm it works better

[@redviperbear]

Dudes, this is indeed my favorite youtube fitness channel!

[@mikelanjarmit.1895]

2.2 millions views,thank you mistakes videos.

[@Califu]

Editing was gnarly Hudson!

[@ΣπαρτιάτηςΣπαρτιάτης-ω1ξ]

The best video I saw for Dips but I still have one question... Behind the Back Dips• What's the difference?? Elbows are not so much in, they flare a bit. Beside more chest involvement, does this means it "hits" the Lateral Head more, instead of the Long Head??

[@Gus-il4bx]

I'm glad to see this video about dips. I've been doing dips since 1987, back when I was around 16yrs old and it's my oldest workout. The guy in this video is right; from, technique, proper range of motion and even proper breathing technique is very important. Also applying resistance training technique, while doing dips, will not only give a good size triceps but it will increase your strength and power far more effectively. However I have to advise caution when doing any kind of resistance when doing dips. When you do resistance on dips, it's so demanding and you expend so much energy that if your not careful you could hurt yourself. You have to keep in mind that your also inadvertently working out, to a certain extent your shoulders, shoulder blades and even your chest when doing dips. So just try and play it safe, when doing dips.

[@dslander]

Hudson! Crap your editing skills are crazy good ! and laughed at the snap city part ! great job dudes

[@heropegdestroyer]

Hey Buff Dude, I'm a veteran gym rat. Your explanation rocks man! Lifting doesn't have to be so serious, after all we do it because it's fun and feels good right? You emancipate that man! Rock on!

[@MattiedeMottie]

channel has grown so much, love the buffdudes id like to see a vlog day in the life kind of video for once though

[@jondutra1474]

I actually feel a greater stretch in the chest and no shoulder pain the following day when always keeping elbows closer to the ribs and leaning forward.

[@dilshanjayawardhana1352]

Buff Dudes, can you guys introduce us each machine that you can find in the gym and their ways of exercising ?

[@naderyouyou]

Buff dudes is the best fittness channel on KZbin.

[@WhatUpJay]

When I first started working out, I definitely would perform chest dips the wrong way. But once I got the correct form down I definitely started seeing results.

[@joshharris645]

Half reps = half muscles. New motto

[@EazyEVXO]

That snap scared the shit out of me. Was not expecting that, great video Buff Dudes.

[@kodamma1]

Wut up bd's, I'm a truck who spends a lot of time on the road away from home, so it's hard for me too get to a gym. Any suggestions on how to perform single dumbbell power clings (properly)?

[@ryderwashington4199]

You are completely right about snap city, I stretch way too much when I do dips and just this Monday I did my usual workout and fucked up my shoulder/collar bone.

[@tpbisdivine]

I'll never do dips again. Damaged my shoulder when I was I was younger. Years later got back into training. messed my shoulder up again.

[@sancholowera]

calisthenics homie

[@Tonys_Podium]

Were they wide grip? A comfortable dipping bar is about 450mm wide with a 5 degree down slope.

[@cameronaminian9442]

Shoulder injuries are the worst man. It affects all upper body workouts. Feel your pain

[@turtelezinatoir]

Prince I-Self

[@jacekwaasiewicz716]

dips are ok, incorrect form on flat bench press is your biggest threat for shoulders health

[@lambroslioumis2947]

Guys thank you very much for your help and always careful guidance and support.

[@Streaker8992]

Greetings dudes. I am a buff dude in training, but something is holding me back. I have an injury that prevents me going heavy in the squat, can you do a video with the best alternatives to squats. It is devastating as I love the humble squat. One more thing, as a beginner I would like to see the best moves to build the strength to be able to do a pull up, or a dip etc. Help a dude in need bro, and keep up the good work.

[@mutlukats]

The "flare the shoulders" cue is bad. It puts unnecessary and harmful stress on the shoulders, especially if you're doing weighted dips.

[@janoycresovas5order66compa9]

I was all in this video and then he said "snap city" and I was the fuck outta there.

[@ygbeats9754]

LOL!

[@ville477]

same...

[@aluminiumiodide]

why?

[@jyan727]

uhhh I dont get why either

[@Elonfuckingmusk]

If you snap your shit up you won't be making all kinds of gainz.

[@travisrjohnson]

Love the new animated look that highlights the main muscles being used. Reminds me a lot of a book called Strength Training Anatomy by Frederic Delavier. Thanks for another great video.

[@TheCaffeinatedDrive]

dip station accessory for the power rack would be awesome! :D

[@rbsingh3198]

A video on how to create your own workout routine. Wht aspects to keep in mind and how to identify them? BTW you guys change lives.

[@Lien6887]

I've basically been making all these mistakes, except visiting snap city. Have built enough strength to do them properly now though, but I guess I've been running more of a risk than I was aware of.

[@tomm3410]

Best instructional video for dips that I've seen. Thanks so much.

[@Jazson]

Dudes, the hard work is paying off! I've followed you since you were under 50k subs. Clearly, you've found your style (retro and witty with a dash of hilarity) and honed it. Congrats and keep up the hard work!

[@jyotibikashsaikia332]

Need some advice. I've been trying bodyweight chest dips with very low chairs, resource shortage. I tuck my legs as I go down so I don't touch the ground as I go down. I feel a good workout happening in my chest area but also a tingling between my scapulas. Am I doing it wrong and is it okay did way? I lean forwards, and use weighted vests upto 10kgs for upto 6reps sometimes

[@sebsterkid77]

Can you put links to videos in the description for mobile users please

[@Durzo1259]

I've been wondering, if I focus only on chest dips, will it build my tricep muscles very well or does it absolutely have to be straight dips?

[@Nikhildeepsinghmahi]

nice video! can you please tell more about the nutrition and how to start a proper diet plan...

[@CWBush73]

Would having the elbows out as in the chest dips lead to shoulder pain for someone that is not very strong and dips to begin with?

[@panasmel]

Your tips are amazing! You should do a video on how to protect your lower back from injuries, or on how to use properly the back belts.

[@MrRBond007]

How many reps and sets should you be doing to determine if you need to do assisted dips or not?

[@masterchief5437]

By some long paralette bars, they're called equalizer bars, there are meant for calisthenic dips.

[@blaackcatt_6743]

Do you have anyting for the uperchest? that would be nice if you can show me a video how I can train my uperchest at home with no weights

[@ocantu1987]

anything for dealing with low back pain? I dropped squats and deads until my back feels better, but it still is agitating me

[@lrobarros]

Awesome video Dudes, keep up the great work!!

[@ratemus587]

Could I request ofr advice? I do superset bench press + 20 dips in five cycles..is that correct or 20 dips is so much? thank you

[@derekmacdonald8892]

You dudes are brilliant. At last some humour. And not even some, a lot. Just great. Love watching and great tips.

[@PeterBSkating]

I have a question that i hope you can answer. What is best if you want to be a buff dude... Low weight with many reps or high weight with few reps? Thank you buff dudes

[@Kevindiesel]

Dudes! You guys gonna release a hoodie or sweatshirt any time soon in your store?

[@buffdudes]

Hi Kevin. Yep! We've got some more designs on the way. Sorry it's taken so long, we were working on new artwork. Look for them soon!

[@lowdieee]

my collar bones hurts from dips how long should I recover for

[@FolkMetalProject]

nice vid. also appreciate that you listed the 5 things in the description.

[@AlexB-ul3sz]

Any suggestions I was doing a cheat dip and screwed something up in my chest and it’s been like an hour and I still feel a lot of pain

[@LQT]

I am 42 female, I have reached 15 dip chest, but I have not tried yet dip chest with weight.

[@alexwil4930]

Is there a Chest Exercise that predominantly focuses on inner chest?

[@ZeroSumJ1]

I love this channel. My favorite exercise tips channel on KZbin.

[@judasjunior6503]

how can people dislike this? guess u can't please everyone 😞

[@rogerdodger8415]

I prefer cable presses. Much more control, less strain on joints. With the Smith Machine and incline, you can customize your sets to chest/shoulder.

[@ferguevs9010]

Assisted pull ups are also. Good way to gain strength? Or is it better to stay with the 3 exercises you recommend on your how to do a pull up vide?

[@jefftoy4693]

Here's a suggestion dudes. I've noticed since I been going up in weight when performing deadlifts and squats my hips get pretty sore. How about a video on how to strengthen hip strength/how to work your way up to lift more weight in general. Thanks dudes.

[@Brettdavidson527]

Know this is an old video, was just seeing if i could get some help. Did body weight chest dips at the gym and about my third set in of doing 15 reps, my left forearm went numb on me and it still hasn't gone away. Wondering if this is common or am I doing something wrong, Thanks

[@c0rnf1ake]

Talking about doing 3/4s of an exercise while advocating full range of motion... well which is it?

[@lukejh20091]

When I do tricep dips, several reps in, I can't help but push my chest out on the upward motion, do I need to slow down the reps or is there something I can do to stop this?

[@chrisnewtownnsw]

Dips aka shoulder pops. I did them for over a year before adding weight. Very delicate exercise

[@makritik1159]

buff do a video on dumbbell bench press and dumbbell row variations!!!!!

[@MaduUdeh]

what if your doing it on the floor with a pull up bar is there anything that should be different.

[@williamterry1800]

Hey bro, so i'm too heavy to do dips and my arms/triceps aren't strong enough ! Do you have an alternative to dips for working on the lower part of the chest?

[@R_Unspoken]

Hello. I have a question. I started doing dips. But after doing it my left shoulder is in pain now. I didnt understand from the video what should i do to decrease tention on my shoulders? Im not that strong atm does it get better when i get strong or is it just beacause i do it wrong?

[@Stavraetina]

Awesome videos Buff Dudes! Very informative and useful!! Keep them coming!

[@tooney012345678910]

I have always been good at pull ups/chin ups (in my childhood etc) but I had never performed dips, so when I tried them for the first times I felt very uncomfortable, I couldn't even do one or two... The position was really unfamiliar, balance problems etc... And I was beginning to think my triceps were really weak... :'( But after very few trainings (with no gains of strength) I've become able to comfortably do 10 in a serie. In fact it was not a question of strength, you just have to get used to them, it's only a movement to learn (like muscle up for example)

[@comanchedase]

About the same for me. But got my dip strength from push ups, after a while its just a matter of time to get used to them or strong enough. I am pulling 25-20-15 dips simultaneously with 20-15-10 curls of 20kg each hand in the interval. Have stopped doing as many chin ups since my elbow grew a bit sore...been doing chins for 20 something years about since I was 4 I guess...

[@TheARTY50]

the wya i needed to hear this...ive been doing chest dips this whole time when I really wanted tricep dips

[@GOATSTER911]

When I do dips and finish, my front delts really hurt. What am I doing wrong?

[@LastGamerRo]

Everytime when i m doing dips for triceps I have a pain on my clavicle when i finish a set.Please tell me how to avoid that pain ?

[@kennethward5564]

yeah i did dips wrong when i started and cracked my sternum slightly so i am no unable to do them. seriously do these right when you start off! thumbs up to let others know. stay BUFF!

[@polililo]

in mistake no 2 you said we should do 3/4 of the movement. At the end you say " full range of motion". which one is it dude ?

[@koeniboytje]

Hey guys, looks like youre trying to improve your video setup, which is awesome! Try to improve the lighting as well; look into softboxes if I may suggest.

[@ScreenFiends]

I used to do dips all the time but over stretched and tore my rotator cuffs. Looong ass heal time. Cheers for the tips.

[@ScreenFiends]

Thats what started to happen to mine before I tore my rotator cuff. I ignored the signs and one day my shoulder just went. It was absolutley agonising and took a very long time to heal. In my opinion rest your shoulder for a while and go ask an expert for some guidance on the exorcise or alternativley do something that is not so much of a strain. My brother tore his rotator cuff too and had to have steroids (administered by doctors).

[@SidharthMishra99]

Will it make side skeleton bones stronger ?Suggest me Exercise to make Skeleton bones strong

[@zackster21]

hey dudes! what are your opinions on Olympic style weightlifting (clean and jerks, snatch, front squats, etc.)?

[@dianrobertson2185]

leaning forward does not target the chest more, in fact it hits it less and has been proven by some studies. think about it, you are giving yourself less range of motion in regards to your humerus and torso. if taken to the extreme (chest parallel to the ground) and do the dips, it is the equivalent to a dumbell front raise. all it does is emphasize your front delts, not pecs.

[@gauravpandey9749]

can u suggest a proper way for pull ups.

[@benjaminpaddock4501]

Could you guys do one on grip strength?

[@PowderedToastMaaaan]

Hey Buff dudes! Great video as always... Question... Say my goal is 10 reps. By 7 I can't do anymore. Would I: A) Stop the exercise B) Do whatever I can just to finish my 10 (which includes cheat reps or half reps) C) Rest for a second, then try and pound out the last 3 for my goal of 10. Thanks!
