@Austin Dunham No need to apologize, you're like a little bro to me, but you're just really out of your lane with the redpill content and were even more likeable during your vlog time with vicky
The first two are on point for me. One arm negative pullups almost always gives me really bad tendinitis. And dips hurt my mid chest but never knew why
i had the same with weighted dips but when i switched to rings it fixed everything. i think because of how they are free to move around ur rib cage as u do the dip it prevents the common problems that come with regular dips. So once u get past the learning stage on rings its basically a better version to stick with, not just the muscle benefits but because of the injury prevention benefits too. I now can do 3 plates for about 4 reps on rings pain free and 5 plates on regular dip but i never train the regular dip
@Michael I bought my own and take them anywhere I also have a full home gym as well so I use the rings in calisthenics parks, gyms and at home it's really easy to set up and you can find them cheap online most places
ALMOST TO ONE MIL LET'S GO! I do weighted dips at 70kg. That said, I have built it very slowly over the years, and I only do it once a week. It's a primal exercise that I absolutely love. I couldn't imagine giving it up. That said, I've seen too many videos of people snapping some muscle while doing it. I totally understand how you could skip it.
I do weighted dips once per week, have gotten chondrotenitdis however the hell you say it multiple times, worked through the injury and got back into it. My last session i hit 3 sets of 6 reps @85kg for weighted dips. Went to the hospital that night because i got inflamed intercostal muscles in my ribs and couldn't breathe for 5 days. Despite all these injuries I will still do weighted dips cos they are sick as flark and I'm less than a month out from a weighted 1RM comp where i'll be attempting to hit a 115kg to 120kg weighted 1RM PR. Weighted dps are so freakin sick bro but it's not for the weak willed.
1. One arm pull up negatives - causes tendinitis 2. Heavy weighted dips - causes chest pain in sternum 3. Rope cable crunch - causes ab crunches. I think one arm negatives are ok if you only do then 1 to 2 times a week. As for the weighted dips, ya if you go heavy it’s likely going to mess with your shoulders or sternum.
You see this all the time though. People are like “ughh heavy deadlifts are gonna hurt your lower back”. Weighted dips are the same it same to do them when you don’t lean excessively forward in them, you maintain an upright chest throughout the movement, and have proper thoracic spine mobility. It will stress your elbows, shoulders, sternum but just like deadlifts, IT MAKES THEM STRONGER. Just don’t be dumb and deload when you need to. I say when you are working a closed chain movement like weighted dips then you take a week every 4 weeks to back off a bit. Or you train heavy once per week and have a lighter more recoverable session the second time per week.
@@victor555117 terrible ab cramps lol. Have tried dropsetting ab crunches and my entire abdomen started spasming like crazy and gave me a brutal cramps. Fuck sucks
I can relate A TON! Sternum pain from dips almost brought me to the ER.. and ab cramps make you want to die. To this day i'm afraid of hypertrophy ab training
LOVE THIS!! High school I did dips on my first few days in the weight training class and tore that cartilage in my chest. So I could barely move my upper body for the first 3 months. Your making videos people need to see. GGs
Oh sh 🤯 you're right - I just started doing weighted dips and I feel that pain in my chest while doing weighted push-ups - i neva felt that before & I'v been doing weighted push-ups for years Ty bro 💯 you saved me from another injury 👏
Interesting video. The first two exercises I love and do all the time but have had sternum pain from dips before. With core training, cramps can happen a lot. I find some exercises make it worse. Depends on the person. Cool video. Nearly at a million!
I have the same thing with dips, that was the scariest moments of my calesthenics journey. I stopped doing dips in general and focus on tricep extensions instead.
Had those abs cramps before as well. Thought I had tore my ab wall and intestines were coming through. I finally found if I pressed hard on the painful area, pain went away. Huurts!!
I tought it was a clickbait video but after watching it that's one of your best videos. For dips I love the rings and yeah weighted dips are going to F up most people
that chest thing is because of the angle of the bars and also the width which forces your body to push inward instead of downward. parallel bars that are close to shoulder width is the fix to this problem. Gym dip machines usually have an angle to work the chest more which is not correct for the body. dips are done in parallel bars not angled inwards bars but noone talks about this cause its physics and not fitness
How did you overcome your costochondritis? I've had it since June last year, and been trying to work around it. I got it the same way but from doing bodyweight dips
It is never the exercises fault that you got injured. Only a lack of preparedness. That said negatives and straight arm moves do have a pretty terrible stimulus to fatigue ratio so they are pretty bad for joint stress. But this only means that they should be taken slower and the connective tissue + fascia + joints must be built overtime. Research steady state cycles if you want to pursue planche + front lever or any crazy strength move.
Hey Austin, I searched for a vid but you have none on this topic: eyebrows. I know u into looksmaxxing so I would like to know if there is anything u do?
Im never doing normal dips, only rings ones, and never leg extensions, it hurts my knees so badly, even tho my knees are strong and stable, and they dont hurt at any other exercise, but that one somehow hurts
@@inevitablesound7465 Im not focusing that much on legs, just doing pistols, rdl's and calf raises, so that my legs are not lagging behind, but I have genetically big legs so I dont need to focus that much on them
The one arm pull up negative and weighted dips I'll say u just did it too frequently and didnt give proper rest. They mad intense movements so tryna do it too frequently can hurt ya. Give yourself more rest days and ill say youll not have the same issue.
Abs do leg raises but go do it in a way that u contract abs all the time (lowest point still contractracted) and you bring ur butt up so it does not stay in the same position 5:30 like here, otherwise u are training hip flexors more than what you should.
wtf im kinda new to training and i thought that the sternum pain was normal after dips !!! i currently doing bw only and i sometime experience that pain...
That's what u should never go very heavy, like 3-5 reps. More like 6-8 There is always a risk, That u Can hurt yourself, The more complex movement, The bigger risk of injury
I get ab cramps too. It was because I needed to strech my abs. You probably need to strech your abs. I dont directly train my abs anymore. But I always remember strech my abs.
Bench press > weighted dips You're not wrong there, Austin. Weighted dips are basically high-risk, little reward type of exercise. I've seen the exact same carryover from performing heavy bench press to calisthenics as weighted dips, but with WAY less risk on my shoulders and chest.
It was a challenge with his powerlifter friend (can't remember his name, he's quite buff and has a beard). Unfortunately i don't remember the video but you can probably find it just by watching the thumbnail

I got into calisthenics back in 2018 and had a good progress and commitment, life was good and I loved it... 3 years later I developed painful shoulder tendonitis and I barely can sleep from pain now and do anything with it, can't workout at all. I'm miserable and ally goals are gone in fitness world sadly.
you can also try a mobility program. the people over at Callisthenic Movement said that improving their mobility helped them get through injuries they experienced early on.
Lack of thoracic spine mobility. Try butchers block stretch and hollow back handstand 3 inches away from wall (just sit your butt back on the wall and push hard through shoulders) I had this problem too… fix it before it is too late I injured myself and had to take months off

Doing weighted dips on the rings is a great alternative

Way to 1M subscribers...you're pretty close Austin, keep up the good work!
Magnesium is the critical nutrient to relieve cramping. Calcium is needed for muscle CONTRACTION.... MAGNESIUM is NECESSARY for muscled to RELAX.
great video man
I got tendonitis too from laying in a hammock and then ring dips with no worm up ;(
Interestingly the time + more dips cured it !
Weighted dips hurt my chest then I start doing arnold pullover and the pain stopped.

that chest thing is because of the angle of the bars and also the width which forces your body to push inward instead of downward. parallel bars that are close to shoulder width is the fix to this problem. Gym dip machines usually have an angle to work the chest more which is not correct for the body. dips are done in parallel bars not angled inwards bars but noone talks about this cause its physics and not fitness
Angled out bars are ideal. Just facing away from the dip bar fixture will solve a lot of problems. I still prefer ring dips though
Yes this. I got pain doing dips whenever the bar was too far apart. Sternum doesn’t fully fuse until age 25 so really be careful with dips.
I also get bicep strain fron dips its really weird
