@Dalton Will I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Ring dips are a real favourite of mine. I find they can easily substitute heavy weighted dips. The shoulder stability and mass you gain is second to none. Learn the specific method I use → www.bodybyrings.com
Peter Hofmann I was early, had to think fast. It was in the spur of the moment and I regret my actions now. Have a hangover now, won't comment poorly again.
Parallels dips also have a huge emphasis on your "latts" too. And straight bar dips are a progression to the muscles up but I think straights can build good "pushing" strength as well. I use both of them to my advantage. Both build strength and size if you ask me🤷🏾♂️
@@dyzvervS I'm not a native English speaker too (I'm French), I do my best to talk correctly 😁. For me, dips in straight Bar are good for chest (for my body), for you I don't know if it's better than parallel dips, try it 😊
Tried the straight bar today! The straight bar dip was much harder than the parallel bar dip. I really felt it in in the upper, and middle chest. Going to keep practicing. Thank you for the lessons on this.
@@dan_4531 anything that you have done to improve it? Is the same case for me, currently working on doing straight bar dips and then parallel bar negatives since it seems that my shoulder extension is just really bad
I don't have parallel bar. I only do straight bar dip because i do my workouts in the children playground cuz i don't have a workout zone in my area :D Improvisation saved my life :P
This guy is so good teaching calisthenics, he is methodic and at the same time simple. Love your videos bro! I have been improving my trainnings a lot, watching them. Thanks! 💪🏼
I know you have instructional videos of ring workouts but I'd love to see a video of you doing a ring routine. Could definitely be some great inspiration!
Dude i remembered 10 years ago following you, I am so proud and glad I followed in your foot steps, I was able to do muscles ups at my prime. Then I fell off the map, life lol. But I’m back on the prowl and back in the grind rewatching yo ur vids and buying my wood rings again.
Thanks for the information! I have personally only been doing straight bar dips but only because I don’t have any parallel bars. I am going to try get some though and then I’ll do both of these variations!
Straight dips: If your arm placement are shoulder width, you are pushing in to your body and squeezeing your triceps it hits your tricep hard and be more vertical
Ring dips are best to get that full stretch and flex. My favourite chest exercise along with neutral weighted push up on parallettes. I'll occasionally do PB dips too but I stay away from straight bar dips as the internal rotation and my shoulder don't mix!
Great video as always, I suggest recording the audio clips in a more adequate location, possibly with some acoustic foam panels to reduce the echo, it's the only thing that bothers me a little in many of your videos. Keep up the good work!
I'm a female that can do 4 sets of 10 parallel bar dips, first set is easy and last set I pause for a bit of rest. To overload I was going to start adding weight, but I do have a long term goal of a muscle up so I figured it might be time to try straight bar dips out. I'm nervous because I go to a small conventional gym and I already feel eyes on me for doing lots of handstand training and skin the cats.. But it's worth it! Trying them today!
It is all relative, a lot of people might get impingment by doing exercises in an internally rotated position of the shoulder. That said, the PB Dip would be superior for overall size and strength
man i love parallel bar dips(weighted) along with wall hspu, archer pullups on a bar and tuck front lever rows and for those of you asking about legs; squats and gluteham raises;D
Would’ve been good to get an overview on corner dips where you’re working on a 90 degree turn. I can do almost 10sets of 10 yet still never get a burning feel in my chest
I have terrible shoulder pain from parallel bar dips even if I am very cautious about form like pulling my shoulder and scapula back and down, leaning a bit forward and not going deeper than 90 degree... 🙁
maybe your hands are too close to your body, but I dont really know, Im searching info because I want to start doing dips without fuc.king up my shoulders
Isn’t the straight bar dip the same shoulder position as the pushup with flared elbows? For pushups the flared elbows is a big no-no due to possible shoulder pain and damage. How come it’s ok to do straight bar dips and muscle ups then? 🤔
I do both variations but with weights and weight vest because i just love dips...but i prefer really deep paused weighted straight bar dips 2 seconds down 1 second up.
i did my first muscle up after two months of pull ups and dip on parallel bars, i didn't do even one dip on straight bar, but now i am doing only straight bar dips, because i don't have parallel bars nearby right now :)
Between both, ring dips are the best, i even do weighted ring dips (because i don't have parallel bars), btw, it is safe doing weighted ring dips? Never see anybody in youtube doing this, except gymnasts.
Most gymnasts are trained to perform pushing movements without letting their shoulders retract or drop, which is the reason why I believe many gymnasts have been able to perform dips safely for years. So I guess weighted dips are ok as long as you know what you're doing and that you know what you can handle. Bodyweight fitness is meant for longevity, train safe.
not really for longevity... many gymnasts have blown out joints and injuries, just like in any other sport, really. Any repetitive motion will take a toll in your body. Now, calisthenics really shine for their low cost in equipment.
Most of those injuries are mostly from skill testing though rather than general training. But even if you didn't choose to do bodyweight exercises as an alternative to weightlifting it's still going to keep you strong and mobile in the long run. I personally know a 70 yr old gymnast who moves around like a 20 year old! Look up Norman Philips on Strength Project, he's a very inspirational.
No... i have watched interviews with gymnasts and they say its literally joints wearing out, from repeating the same patterns of movement over and over again. this happens with literaly any sport.
The parallel bars I got access too are too wide and I want to focus on triceps, as i have a decent chest but skinny arms. So I think I'll do straight bar with a close grip, mimicking "close grip bench press" which is a well recommended exercise for growing your triceps.
I’ve been trying to mix up chest dips and triceps dips on my high parallettes (sp?) and a tucked planche hold. Any other accessory exercise suggestions (other than push-ups and variations) to help improve my planche training. I’m very early in my training.
Totally not related to the video Daniel, but do you plan on creating some sort of forum or Facebook group for people who bought your BBR series or other training material? I'd love to discuss possible training variations, alternatives to some movements and I think a forum of some sort would be a great addition!
At the outdoor gym, which has a straight bar on the overhead press "machine", I alternate single arm shoulder press on both sides with straight bar dips as a matter of routine now. But my preference is Bulgarian dips on rings for iron cross training. I find the RTO static hold puts so much extra tension in the triceps that it helps with that muscle too. But I should look up which head it favours. But mixing it up is key to getting time under tension throughout all of one's musculoskeletal system...
I was doing straight bar dips dor muscle ups but i need to get some high pull ups so i prefer to make it simple by going back to dips and adding some weight.
What are your views on putting a foward lean on the parallel dips would you say it would help with gaining strength in the planche ? Or would i be better off loading up and keeping more straight with the exersize
Peter Hofmann wide grip straight bar is just like a bench press, the most popular way to grow front delts & chest. Everything that's hard on a muscle is also hard on a joint - do it right and the joints will strengthen along with the muscles. I agree forward lean parallel bar or ring dip is better, for a longer range of motion and neutral grip, both of which make it safer, but if you want to do a version of this with more shoulder, widen your grip.
Peter Hofmann I think the risk / reward for guillotine bench is bad. You want to externally rotate at the shoulder despite your pronated forearms, but touching at the neck makes that awfully hard. You can take a really wide grip and still touch quite low - many powerlifters bench like that. A wider grip is more dangerous, you just have to be more conscious of what your shoulder is doing (for instance using your upper back muscles to keep good thoracic extension and shoulder depression).
Peter Hofmann Good point about normal bench being more internally rotated, but I think the important thing is to be applying some external rotation torque - regardless of the position. Yeah the danger is probably more in the extended range of motion and increased difficulty of shoulder retraction and depression. But I guess the risk is low enough if you keep to high reps - similar to a front raise.
Peter Hofmann the forearms will always be under the bar, it just means they will touch lower on the chest (which is good). Yeah the guillotine with elbows out puts your shoulder in a very weak position - which is good for stress but bad if you do it a bit wrong. It seems pointless to me, why not just do a fly or front raise instead?
Dont really agree with P-bars being a better option for Tricep strength. Doing straight bar dips really deep while leaning back as much as possible works the Triceps insanely hard. You're essentially doing 1/2 of the muscle up transition, which both requires and builds a lot of Tricep strength when performed slowly and controlled. Great video anyway!
no, I've been doing parallel bar dips for about few years and gotten quite good at it.. when I tried straight bar dips recently, couldn't do it well (muscle used is slightly different).. gassed out quite fast.. so yeah, u might want to incorporate the two into your workouts to get max benefits from both
Why am I only learning about Bulgarian dips now? I learned about korean and russian dips from that vid years ago and learned them in time to do them in their respective countries. Had I known about bulgarians might have learned that and made it a point to stop in Bulgaria. Daniel confirmed for sabotaging my autistic fitness/travelling goals...

Tell me sir
ring dips are the best hands down..Ive been only doing ring dips for a few months and recently i tried parallel bar dips..man it felt wayyy too easy!
Dimos that’s axactly my experience
After getting good at ring dips parallel bar dips just feel like a warm up.
Ring dips are a real favourite of mine. I find they can easily substitute heavy weighted dips. The shoulder stability and mass you gain is second to none. Learn the specific method I use → www.bodybyrings.com
I guess you make them harder by placing the rings more outwards?
Chokwe at first I could only do 2 as well but I just kept trying it and I was able to do more reps little by little.
personally I prefer salsa

I find straight bar dips a lot harder than the parallel dips.
Me too but I am doing straight bar dips as preparation do MU
Because you have to activate your chest to stabilize, to keep balance

I find then easier actually, it feels better on my body. Parallel bar dips on the other hand are the devil for me and they just feel badn

does your triceps grow? Like is it a good exercise for triceps? Because I too only have 1 bar,no parallel bars so I can't do parallel bar dips.
Lmao, better than nothing mate
Two bar stools is another solution
I have a very small kitchen and use 2 worktops for parallel dips
@Eyre Borne the chairs will fall on you when you go down if not weighted

As always great content! Greetings from Bulgaria :)
I'm watching this while doing my 10 sets of 5 pull ups. 6 sets down 4 more to go!
Same brotha 🤙
I prefer do straight bar dips than wide push up, the range almost same but straight bar dips more challangeing.

Should you stop doing dips if it hruts your shoulders?
yes
When I do parallel dips i feel chest pain so I only can do dips on a straight bar
ya duhhh
I feel like straightbar feed your pullup and the parallelbardip feeds more the chinup.
When it comes really heavy I prefer the parallelbars :)
