>fucks up your lower back, wrists, and sternumThis is a meme exercise, just do rope pull downs like a normal person
Dips are the key to 2pl8
>>74611170idk cuh i do them and im fine. my last workout was 3 sets of 7 reps with +50kg so im kinda mid but not novice
>>74611180I bench 1.5pl8 for reps and I can't do a single dipand no I'm not fat, I'm a lanklet. are my arms maybe too long? my shoulders always go heem snappy
>>74611267You won't touch 2 until you get your dips in. Negatives until you can rep it, don't use the assist machine it's useless
>>74611299i hit 225 for 4 and i only ever did dips once then decided i hate it. biggest jumps in progression where swapping to seated db ohp and starting to do jm press for triceps
>>74611180I bench 265 for 5 and I've never touched a dip
>>74611170>just do rope pull downsWhat? A back exercise?
>>74611180Nope, push ups are
>>74611605it's so tiring to put and balance weights on your back
>>74611170It’s a great exercise. Ton of guys in jail do it. It’s normal- you work your way up to doing good sets of dips with body weight good form good range of motion for a couple months. Then you ease into the weighted dips. Your sternum adapt over time
>>74611170skill issue
if your wrists are hurting, you are likely a beginner to movements that require wrist extension. You also likely have a very low bench press.You need to condition your wrists. The lower back is from you arching too hard, the sternum pain is pretty normal and will likely go away as you ease into the exercise.
>>74611170Lower the weight and do more reps. If you're a fatlus use the assisted dip machine and don't ego lift. Dips are on par with diddlies and squats for how insane they are for muscle growth. Just don't be a retard.
