Now that Im over 40yo, I 💯 agree with the machine dip for effectiveness without unnecessary wear and tear on my body. Helluva chest finisher. I appreciate the tips, brother!
Thanks for this Cris for highlighting the dip machine especially for lower chest and pec minor the muscle that John first brought to my attention to train. Best wishes. Jim Harrison. UK.
That‘s it. Free Dips are Great , but the shoulder torque and fixion is real Heavy. In the Dip Machine you can Focus much better without a Little Bit Thinking about the Maximum shoulder fixion. I love it💪🏼 Go on man !
hi, makes a lot of sense to do those with the machine to focus on the muscles. I am not strong enough to do bodyweight dips yet but i find the machine helping me get stronger each week. thanks for the tips.
its ok.......the dip machine I still prefer. and honestly if I didnt have a dip machine I would do a SWISS bar close grip bench press over the assisted dip machine but at the end of the day, if that blitzes your triceps, go for it
Cris I appreciate your no bs approach to training you dont over complicate anything. What are your thoughts on an upper lower split? I have been forced to have a long lay off with back problems and i am returning to training, however have no idea where to start?
Have not been used to a body part split for years however I will try again. Thanks for your response. Enjoying the uncomplicated content keep it up mate 👌
Thank you so much for the demonstration, got a question, is it Ok if you dont fully stretch with triceps dips? i feel some shoulder discomfort when i fully stretch with dips( Upper arm parallel to the ground ) , and i even feel my chest stretching , so is it ok to cut the stretch range of motion?

without a doubt!!!
you are very welcome
Thanks for sharing, I'm too heavy for body dips and could use some new ideas
heck yea, glad it added some tools to your toolbox
Love that machine. I wish we had it. You can get some fantastic pumps off of that too!
sadly they aren't that common anymore in gyms

Absolutely! you are very welcome
What do you think about the assisted dip machine/pull up? I have to experiment more with them
Another great machine. Can start with body weight dips then add assistance to hit higher rep sets or to go deeper into the stretch position

@@CrisEdmondsTV fair enough, I'll try to do the Vince Gironda style dips & pec minor dips on Sunday for chest - will report back -
Amazing video
Thanks!

so im not a huge fan of that......just too much in one day IMO. I would opt for:
Back/Abs
Chest/Shoulders
OFF
Legs
OFF
Arms/Calves
OFF

for sure go to your lowest point of the rep where you do NOT feel pain and cut it off there. do not stretch past your active range
The machine in our gym doesn’t have a back support which makes it not so great imo
is it the hammer strength machine?
@ nope. Some german brand
