    Your body should be able to handle dips with no problem. Individuals start having issues with lifts when they go below recommended range. You will be fine as long as you keep from bouncing at bottom of movement and don’t go beyond 90 degrees.

    This is not entirely true. Initially I couldn't do dips at all. Rotator cuff is torn and it hurt like hell to even try. After a few months of lifting again, it seems I strengthened it and I can now do assisted dips. Dips put a lot of strain on the shoulders which is why I was instructed not to do them when I had rotator cuff surgery on my other shoulder. Now the left one is torn LOL

    K cool they really do help alot right I used to think I looked stupid doing them in the gym befor workouts but Idc it looks even dumber if you drop a Dunbar on your face cuz your shoulder just have out right lol. Lately the only thing that bothers mine alot is decline bench press and only when I'm close to failure and failing, beside that good on everything else.
