I agree. I work out alone in my home gym.

[@runningriot7963]

@@Kris0931 Yeah, becuase most people can't even do one proper pull up with thier bodyweight alone, people see you and think you are an alien becuase you are so far above them in terms of pulling strength.

It's off topic, but the acoustic treatment of your room is amazing. If you ever want to go into music production, just stick bass traps at each corner of the room, and you're golden

man how he sounds is not off topic, its a huge part of why i watch him

[@Write_Charlie]

I don't know what "Bass Traps" are, but they sound very cool! 😎

[@milosmisic3006]

@CastellanSpandex You see these blue fluffy things behind him? Basically bass traps are thicker versions of that, and they are placed in the corners / ceilings so they "soak" up lower frequencies and not allow them to bounce back and create unwanted noise. Lower frequencies tend to travel to the corners of the room, edges, ceilings and stuff

[@Craig-k8r]

As a guy who suffers from joint pains and is also a hard gainer, I'm so happy you shared alternative positioning for the dips 👍🏻

[@FitnessFAQs]

No problem mate 👍

[@caioellery9117]

honestly it is really cool to see a guy as knowledgeable and strong as you not getting as much weight as expected in bench press... i'm just starting to take this seriously and my weights are still laughably low in basically everything, so knowing it does take time to build that strength even for those more experienced is pretty motivating to me, thanks for the video!

[@Sacciuiguai]

Crazy to think weighted dips/pullups/pushups and rows are criminally underrated in the gym world, easy way to pack serious muscles without so much equipment variety.

[@sphiliter9898]

I've recently reintroduced the "Barbell Overhead Press" & I'd forgotten what a satisfying lift it is. Especially when you start with an appropriate weight. I'm almost 60 years old, so I'm more lower weights/higher reps these days. Been working around niggling shoulders & a sore biceps tendon so having to be mindful. Great video (as usual!) Thank you.

[@doge95469]

the stretch on ring dips is magnificent, weighted dips should be mandated exercise for me

[@FoodHealthFit]

Found it interesting that you’d list the bench press as an essential exercise here, when you got to where you are now without it! Would like to hear more about what you actually did to grow

[@philsteinmeier2932]

[@onebluemonster239]

As a 50+ guy that works out alone….My most debilitating gym injuries were from trying to maneuver heavy dumbbells in and out of position …so now, I stick to barbells.

[@desmondsama]

I love mixing weighted pullups with weighted dips, lovely par

[@NikolaTeslaEE]

KZbin recommended this video. Great recommendation. I can barely do BW dips because I’m weak and tore one of my shoulders a few years ago, resulting in a shoulder surgery. I’m glad my gym has an assistant pull up and dip station. Thanks!

[@stevenrapa4014]

You've always put out great content. But lately I've noticed even more so maybe its the contrast to the general for clicks, super optimise everything trend. Just humble. Honest talk, from a really well developed experienced guy, sharing what he does and why. You dont try to be funny, (not knocking those that do) you dont pad it out. And you dont try and find the fashionable latest thing. Almost 20mins, talking calmly yet passionately about 3 very basic lifts. And it feels like 4mins. Pure class Daniel. Keep it up buddy. Steve from the UK.

[@amuroGenki]

I hit my chin doing my firts rep ever of vertical press :-) ... and that hurt. I'm glad no one was here to see it. Now I keep doing it because it is bad ass exercice, but you have to be very carefull. Thank you Daniel.

I started benching 5 months ago and wish i started a lot sooner..... great video💪 Compound movements are king!!!

[@moreveinsmoregains]

Usually if someone can dip over 50 kg for reps than he can bench over 100 kg easily, you arms must be very long to struggle with 90 kg but it's still a great weight since it's your last exercise and you use a close grip so keep it up Daniel you are an inspiration :)

[@sadiqueahmed5321]

Today, i did weighted pull ups 30kg 1 rep max, with 64 kg bodyweight. Most of the people in my gym were shocked and wanted to learn how i did it(none of them do weitghed calisthenics), it makes me happy and motivates me more to improve my goals 🎉🎉

Which means by the time the clock runs out on this 😊currently approaching 72 year old structure, I won’t have run out of ways to improve. No stagnation in your program. I thank you most sincerely for that. It’s cool, too, when much younger dudes are impressed by weighted dips done by an old dude. Thanks for that, too! 💪 Keep up the great work, Daniel.

[@nikitamazanoff9069]

Previous video bro

[@kirkmiller869]

Outstanding vid, appreciate your content very much. In spirit of honing an exercise, which bench press, for me dare I say, has been a decades long affair. Your dumbells form: perfect! Slight arch in the back. Note your elbow angle. This keys grip width to the bar version. If triceps focused cool; but don't we strive for peak performance with each exercise? Slightly arching sets the scapula. Elbow angle sets grip width. One rep max be damned. 3-5 reps; 4-7 for optimal growth and strength benefit. These three mentioned here in your vid are truly the staples! Instead mastery say, of the bench, I prefer to rotate... flat bench bar, incline dumbells (30° max), dips every push day. My workout is barley over and I am already looking forward to OHP day... where I work flat bench dumbells. I always consider the three planes: up, out, and down. Just suggestions... love the discussion.

[@M3r10schoolguy]

Your advice is just the best! I‘m personally doing Ring dips (they feel just better than normal dips), Pike pushups, weighted pushups with a Deep Stretch (i am using paralletts) and lateral raises. But I‘m planning to buy a barbell and weights. Greetings from Germany!

[@emmp6799]

Totally second the slow improvements on the bar overhead press. Such a challenging but rewarding exercise.

[@AndyThomasStaff]

You haven't commented on why you do a narrow grip bench press? The traditional bench press uses a grip so that at the bottom, your arms are parallel to each other, and your ulna is pointing straight up from the floor. Your lower arms are internally rotated at the bottom.

[@shinykoffing1857]

He talked about it in his bench press video I believe

[@salvadorquincy4599]

Bro , he talks an about it in the video

[@willmael7914]

He said his chest was already developed enough for his taste, so he wanted to do close grip to develop his triceps instead

[@wojtek4351]

great video! had a question about your choice of bench press with no arch: wouldn't having a slight arch lead to more ROM in the bottom because you let your elbows go lower than your chest than usual? I do get that it cuts the range of motion in the top part though love your videos Daniel!

Dips also make it possible to put both triceps, chest and shoulders in a clear stretched position (or, if you want/can, even extremely stretched) under load, something that is now shown in studies to be the most important part!

[@rainydaytodayey3071]

One thing I noticed of the bench press vs the dumbell was the grip widht. You have a much narrower grip in the bench press. While the dumbell targets the chest, the bench press seems to hit your triceps.

[@CloudIsla]

Always loved dips, couldnt do 1 last year. Now could do weighted.

[@TheBainzz]

Ever dealt with Tricep tendonopathy Daniel in your years of training? Had to take a few months off upper body due to injury, came back and got into weighted ring dips too early and now have the tricep tendons screaming at me!

[@antiantifa1313]

In my opinion Incline Bench as a variation for when you dont wanna do OHP and Bench is nice

[@wakjob961]

Been doing ring dips, then quickly drop down and finish each set off with pushup variations. 3-5 min rest, then back at it. 5 sets and I'm toast.

[@Mythrixic]

I feel like if you widened your grip slightly on bench press and prioritised it as your first exercise. You’d definitely be able to push a lot more. You’re basically doing close grip bench in a fatigued state. That’s probably going to help a lot with hypertrophy of the chest if that’s your goal but definitely not going to help with the amount of weight you can shift

[@xxcrysad3000xx]

Dips never really bothered my shoulders but they do have a tendency to aggravate my tendonitis in my left elbow. Its a shame because I really love doing the movement but I can't overload it without risking flareups.

What is it you need help with? He's just set up the rings in a standard way from a pull-up bar. Making sure they are level. Which is easy with the marked straps

[@pedrog5846]

@ I guess how the straps are wrapped around the rack. To ensure the straps won’t be uneven or become loose.

[@chriswatts9227]

@@pedrog5846 from what I can see he has just looped the loose end of the straps somewhere on his rack. That's going to look different depending on the height of your rings set up and your specific rack/pullup bar, but I don't think he's doing anything particular special, just finding a tidy way of sorting out the straps.

Get mobile first then. I had multiple pain doing dips but stop any bodyweight workout and focus more mobility and flexibility exercises. Came back after 6-7 months, everything got a bit better. End any exercises with some yoga stretching. I like to add, not going to help but my upper spine or neck still hurts with other bodyweight exercises but better than before. From doing mobility and flexibility exercises.

[@joehavian]

If there's anything I learned over the years its don't force an exercise just cause people say its a great exercise. I've never been able to squat without pain in my knees even as a teenager. I switched to Bulgarian split squats and they feel so much better. Close grip bench press has been said to be extremely similar to dips, but anyway, there's always a similar you can do to substitute.

[@compcos]

The Dip was my favorite exercise for many years. The only reason I am not doing them that often now is that they do not work the upper chest which gives that plate-of-armor esthetic look. Instead, over the years I got strong overall with a lot of muscle development in the lower pecs (especially the "external part") and some gains in the shoulders. Moving forward I will do one progression of dips at every 3 other chest progressions: weighted pushups (feet elevated), incline dumpbell press and ring pushups. So I do not agree that weighted dips alone give a full chest development.

Never had problems with my pecs, but my triceps were kinda lackluster, until I started dipping!

Hey FitnessFAQ! What if I have wrecked my shoulder by doing a dip in an entirely wrong place and felt a snap and now can't even go between the dip rack? Doctor said there's inflammation based on magnetic scan. There's a lump on the collarbones end and it's sore to the press. Doctor said he will not inject cortison in it but can perform an operation where the collarbone would be shortened and it should fix the problem or make things worse and also takes a looooong time to recover. I have tried going to gym but the shoulder drops my left arm strength by 50% in almost everything... Like bicep curls, benching with free weights or not and also with overhead presses. Any idea if this can be mended through some certain movement?
