Thank you so much! Seeing how strong you are and how much progress you still make despite being six years older than me is the best motivation I can get 👍💪

Thank you for another vídeo. Please be careful when working out in socks. You could injure your feet with that heavy weight. Impressive progression you've had. Well done!

Thank you. At the competition we were all invited to remove our shoes which would then make us lighter. But yes, point taken I should wear them especially if not in a competition. 🤔

@brendanosullivan2484 4 ай бұрын

@@funwithcalisthenics Yeah but I've been training for years. Was doing a 4 day split workout and wasn't doing just dips. I added a bit slowly to everything. I've always been great at dips so it was kind of easy to progress with them. What I would do is just do 1 max set on them. Working set, id warm up with bodyweight, do a few reps, then keep adding 10kg until I get to my workout set. I would always aim to do a set between 5 and 8 reps. If I got more then 8, I would increase the weight the next session by 5kg, if I can't get 5 reps, id drop the weight in the next session. Then I would go again..I was doing the same with pull ups, Deadlifts, squats, bench etc.

I think you should use the "hip hinge" in your 1 rep max dips. It isn't necessary in your 50kg, but in your 70kg it's probably needed

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

Yes agreed. I am new to this, so still a lot to learn. I’m working on the hip hinge move, but it’s not easy for me.

Hi Antony. I immensely enjoy your channel, you have helped me with my training. I currently do a heavy Kettlebell day with some of my home Olympic and EZ bar cage work. I am carefully working on pullups and chinups. My alternate days are M.O.A Getcha Some high rep callisthenics by Dennis Byrd. Have a look if you can at his KZbin channel. I recently did 700 pushups using Kettlebells for parallettes and 700 full body weight squats in alternating 10 rep sets in 80 minutes. 60 minutes is soon attainable. I am 63, 5’11 and a steady 205 pounds now. Everything is looking and feeling good, the best in my life so far. Stay well Antony and thank you for your motivation and inspiration. It is hot 🥵 here now in the Arizona desert 🌵. We hit a high of 50C so important to get heavier workouts in before noon while only around 30C

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

I’ll check it out. Sounds. Real hot where you are! Not sure if I could workout in that heat!

@christiankurek7209 4 ай бұрын

Well done Anthony and thanks for the great videos! How many times do you train per week? You say you do between 5 x 3 and 5 x 5 reps but not how many times you train per week. I am guessing two to three times?

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

Yes, usually a few times a week per exercise.

Mr. Anthony, did you have any sport background? Or it is just a good health condition, that allows you to work with such a significant loads? Wish you a progress💪

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

I was a long distance runner for 30 years. So my focus was on my legs. So now focussing more on upper body. No idea why I can do this. Just consistency in training I think.

@tombroderick256 4 ай бұрын

Very impressive - looks like a fun focus point/objective. I take it that you are giving yourself plenty of time between sets. Do you have a minimum time (3 min) between sets? And have you found a time interval that is too short?

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

Yes I give myself 5 mins between sets. It’s certainly a fun focus for now.

@@funwithcalisthenics just stick to the 5x5s. Save the 1RM attempts for competitions. You will probably be close to double body weight dip by the end of the year 😁

Isnt 5 x 5 on 60kg and 70kg too much volume? Maybe 3 x 3. What weighted dip will you start 5 x 5 to work up to 60/70kg??

@sammy10001 4 ай бұрын

If you get injured, itll be on your back, traps area, or chest, not elbows. Elbow wraps are good if you feel good, but thats not where you will get injured, if you get injured...

Have you been injured with weighted dips?

@sammy10001 4 ай бұрын

@michaellopez2070 muscle sprains twice, and it was always in the back, lower traps area. Took about a week to heal on each one. Who knows, maybe that area was my weak link as I started adding weight to dips.

@michaellopez2070 4 ай бұрын

@@sammy10001 could be, low rep dips aren’t as widely practiced as something like bench or deadlifts, so it’s not so established where most people are going to get injured. For most people there’s going to be more weight going through the elbow joint than bench or any other compound, though, and I see a lot of high level guys wearing sleeves. Nothing so bad IMO.

@@funwithcalisthenics well I think that prevention of injury is a better idea and I think it's better to increase the weight after you've mastered a particular weight!till then maybe you can increase your reps till your body is used to a particular weight and then increase the weight,it doesn't take long for the body to master a particular weight!

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

@lalithamichael2668 I agree. In the video, I was in a competition, so I did push it. In training, I now do 5 sets of 5 or something similar before increasing the weight.
