weighted dips

[chopper9451]

not sure why but sometimes, not always... I got a pain in right in the dead center of my chest. like the breast bone or something. whats up ya think?

Dips are not only good for tris but also ur chest as well. esp the inside. Theres 2 diff. kinds of dip bars the one that is slanted outwards hits the inside of the chest nice. Leaning forward while doing them usually causes that.

[chopper9451]

its when i do either wide grip or strait bar ones. only hurts while im doing them, not any other lift

[ilovesus]

YA bro dips hit that part of the chest.

[-DedicateD-]

[ilovesus]

You do need to be careful when going heavy on dips. My buddy was going heavy and seperated a rib and now has to let it repair for a month (no upper-body workouts). When it happened he said he felt a sharp pain in his sternum.

you are stretching cartilage. no ex works "part" of a muscle.

Yeah I am not sure if was just a freak incident but it makes you think. I have been more careful when doing dips now!

i stopped dipping when i fvcked up and heard a loud pop in my chest.
I had a 70lbs weight between my legs.

[PingPang]

That's the same sound my buddy heard before his injury...kinda scary.

weighted dips are the shizz.

[1badcamaro]

ok well how about an actual answer as opposed to "dips are the shizz"....if you're experiencing pain then something is probably not right and you've pulled or stressed some muscle. Although i'm not a dr. or an expert, i would recommend stopping the lift for awhile or at least start by lowering the weight...plenty of other good exercises for tri's. If you think its something serious, nothing wrong with seeing a dr about it

[Darksyde]

ok well how about lighten up captain fantastik

[juicy_brucy]

be careful not to go to low with the dips... They can cause many injuries! and whatever ya do, don't go TO HEAVY!!!!

[-DedicateD-]

yeah i agree about not going TOO heavy...

took me about 2 months to let my elbow heal up after a few weeks of very heavy dips (sets of 4-5) did a number on it
