When should I start adding weight to my dips? I can do 12 now at 200 lbs bw
>>77395619add weight when you can do 30 dips
>>77395619dip my balls in your mouth
>>7739562830? That’s gonna take forever
>>77395619Calisthenics dyels try to keep you from getting stronger out of jealousy, so they tell you to wait until some really high number long past the point where it develops strength. They do this because they're still stuck on push-ups and glute bridges, so they get mad seeing people improve.Pick a rep range you like and add weight to progress. Is probably the ceiling before it becomes more endurance-based, so add weight. There isn't even any reasoning behind why you can't do low rep sets with calisthenics if you want to. Low rep sets will be better at developing strength.
>>77395619I start adding weight after I can do 10 reps at my current added weight for 3 sets.
you should be doing 8-12 a set. load accordingly
>>77395635>>77395638you expect to do 10-12 reps with weight when you can only do 12 reps without weight?
>>77395619If you can do 10 body weight reps you should be able to add 10 pounds for 5 reps.
>>77395619How different are machine dips (tricep press if you go to planet fitness) to actual dips?
>>77395619Do a standard double progression when u can hit 10 clean reps for your first set with good form move up in weight.
>>77395628>30 repsBro you're going to snap city with those reps fucking retard. >>77395619Now. Start using weights now.
>>77395638They also aren't aware that high rep Calisthenics will destroy your joints and tendons. Worse then lifting weights ever will.It's why Crossfit failed.That said Calisthenics are a wonderful and important part of a vibrant strength and athletic program that targets hard to reach muscles and and act like the nails to the board of your house.
>>77395619Do it. I have started adding weight when I hit 6-7 reps with my chin-ups and dips. If you can do 5 reps with good form and ROM, then add weight. Waiting for a high rep range is retarded if your form is GOOD. Even if you want to achieve higher numbers or are working towards another skill (ring muscle-ups, etc.), adding weight is the best and smartest decision.
>>77395835Why do calisthenics specifically wreck your joints over weights?
>>77395619Why would dips be any different from all the other movements? If you do for example 5 reps on other lifts why not ass weight so you can only do 5 reps of dips?
>>77395748Do you not know the absolute basics about progressive overload? Stop posting if you're that fucking dumb. Calisthenics dyels are so stupid.You either add a small amount of weight to preserve the 12 reps, or add a moderate amount of weight and go down to 8 (give or take) and work back up to 12. Have you ever worked out in your life?
>>77395813
>>77395748Yes? I got to 3x10 dips then added 10 pounds and could still do 3x10 dips. Progressive overload. Add a small weight every workout. Add another 5-10 pounds every workout. If you need to do less reps then do less reps and stay at the same weight as you work back up to 10 reps. The exact number of reps you use as your baseline doesn't really matter but be around 6-14.
>>77395841>High-rep calisthenics—routines exceeding 15–30 reps per set—primarily build muscular endurance rather than maximal strength or hypertrophy. The primary drawbacks include a high risk of connective tissue injuries, inefficient muscle growth, poor movement mechanics under fatigue, and a plateau in progressive overload.I am not talking shit about Calisthenics I do them. But regular high rep Calisthenics are horrible over the long term. Now if you have a specific reason for needing higher endurance then yeah makes sense. But at a certain points high rep Calisthenics is the end goal of high rep Calisthenics. You are just grinding your joints and cartilage to dust.Again I DO CALISTHENICS. But doing high rep Calisthenics like it's your day job is fucking retarded.
>>77395891The Bioneer swears by high rep calisthenics
