Can perform dips with 110% bodyweight
your dip station is higher than the bench station. gravity plays a part in this that's why it's important to have all exercise equipment on the same level
different grip width
maybe your dip form is shite
depending on your form, you might be using more lower chest and using a short ROM, essentially you're doing a decline bench press. also, why are you holding a 20lb dumbbell when you do dips? I wouldn't use weight until you can add 45lbs for 10+ reps.

>weighted dips
This, most likely lower range of motion
Dips don't train the front delts, so your delts might be weak
ive never done dips in my life and i just benched 235 for a single at 160 lbs
nice, when I weighed 160 my bench pr was closer to 185.
im only 5'7, my 160 is probably a bit different than yours

>can pectoral fly 150% bw
>can deadlift 100% bw
>can only bench 50% bw
Why
Underdeveloped chest?
Skelly doing 5kg weighted dips imo
ur not human
in the bad way
Whats wrong with weighted dips? I can do 25 dips, so I feel I should up my weight like I would with anything else?

>Whats wrong with weighted dips?
absolutely nothing. I do weighted dips with 45 lbs, 4x10 and have never had an issue they are the best chest exercise imo.
is it a meme? I normally post on other boards.
the weighted dips being bad thing is a meme here

you are literally grinding away your shoulder joints on every rep
I weigh 78 kilos 172lbs.
I bench 82kilos 176lbs
I do 8 reps dips with one kilo added.
Yes, friendo.
>implying bench press doesn't grind away your shoulder joints on every rep
No, bad. There's is so much wing with what you just said
ddduuurrrrrr
should read:
>you are literally grinding away your shoulder joints on every rep if you are doing it wrong
>I wouldn't use weight until you can add 45lbs for 10+ reps
Am I reading this wrong or are you telling people to do dips with no weight added until they can suddenly jump to 45 lbs for 10+ reps?
Treat dips like any other lift. Increase the weight progressively, as you're able to.
made my day
technically this is correct
