@@litoazndevil1008 stop doing these chest dips then. I was doing dips with much benefit more centered on the tricep and shoulder. But my chest was benefitting as well.

@@plinkert22 Why are you even on this channel you stupid keyboard warrior. The reason Jeff has loyal fans is that he is real about what he says. He helped me a lot when I had lower back pain and knee pain. Not only he showed me the reason but also how to fix those issues. And it worked. I believed him even when he had no evidence and he helped me. I respect this man a lot for those reasons but you don't have to believe everything he says.

Jeff, thanks for all these postings. I’m 71 now have always worked out alone at home since my teens. I have suffered many injuries and your vids/advice have helped me actually gain in performance and really help me from hurting myself. Thanks again
Vishal Jagannath WRONG! Your cue notes are wrong. All wrong. Thoracic extension, chest outwards and portruded- lift sternum up. Depress upper trap, bring scapula de-elevated. Do not squeeze your biceps wtf? Squeeze your mind-muscle connection on your pecs! Think about the elbow towards to lats, that’s the function of the pecs, humeral adduction towards midline, your elbow is just a reference point at the distal end of your humerus. And in internal rotation of humerus, which is an action of the pecs, your biceps are inwards to your body, so the closer the bicep gets to the body, the more adducted the humerus is. Wtf you don’t squeeze handles in at top idk wtf u r talking about how did u get 19 likes. You try to get more pec adduction by pushing isometrically the handles towards midline which willl create isometric adduction tension towards body through the kinetic chain from hand to arm to chest. How tf do u watch athleanx and say the exact wrong things? It shows that you learned nothing and need to pay more attention to Jeff. Chest outwards not upwards shoulder blade down no shrug squeeze pec not bicep, focus on adduction inwards rather than up and down elbow extension.
Your comment is sooo good!!! I started laughing so hard when you wrote, “Do not squeeze your biceps wtf?” Dude I’m still laughing writing this comment. Thank you so much.
Jeff please make a video on breathing patterns during strong lifts (like barbell row, deadlift, bench press, squat, OHpress) Please upvote so that Jeff will see the comment. Thank you.

Alright listen. Two types of Muscle fibers. The red ones rely on air as source of energy. Hence to why they’re red. Because of the air and blood contact. They’re also the ones that tolerates more. They’re basically your strength in stamina. The white Fibers are what you wanna train to get big and strong. To do this, you have to take short reps but high weights and a bit longer rests. Why? Well, white fibers mostly rely on waste-sugar energy. Meaning that, when you use another type of fuel, you also use another type of muscle fibers. Thats why you take longer pauses(To catch your breath). And then when ready, you make the reps explosive so they will rely on white fibers. Conclusion: Do high weight and use as little air as possible(DO BREATH). Do longer pauses so you can catch your breath and do another set of high weight lifting.=(explosive)
JaeSound Beatz It’s actually true tho. I just had lessons with my athlete bio teacher. I made it sound funny on purpose. Might not believe it but i states true facts.
My shoulder hurts just watching this video, but at the same time it was an eye opener and made me realize I've been doing them wrong. When you look at Jeff doing it, it's almost like decline bench press with vertical grip.
I'm obsessed with this channel. Thanks to you Jeff, I've been able to lose 44 pounds along with gaining lean muscle in less than three months by just watching your videos and incorporating your tips into my nutrition and training program. You are my inspiration sir 💪💪
Been feeling that there's something wrong with my dips since forever.. finally a video which explains what I've gotten wrong- just about everything 😥 thanks for saving the day yet again Jeff
Honestly, this channel has done so much for me in such a short amount of time. I've greatly increased the variety of workouts I can do from general knowledge and knowledge of proper form. Not knowing how to properly do a lot of the workouts held me back
I use dips as the transitional exercise, where i go from working chest to Triceps, it hits my centre chest really well and warms up those Triceps for the isolation ecercises to follow. Thanks though Jeff my son never feels his chest, just his delts he'll be watching this today.💪🏼👍🏻
Jeff to his weights : You aren’t doing enough...You need to train like an athlete !! Weights to Jeff : We are sorry...we need to Gain more weight for you jeff Jeff to weights : If you’re really looking for a program..that put the science back in strength...Go and hit Athlean-X.com !!
GREAT EXPLANATION!! I know because I tried my first dips yesterday and my triceps hurt and my lower chest felt nothing compared to a bench dip. Knowing I had something backwards is good, knowing how to fix it...much better THANKS
Jeff said: 1. Shoulders depressed for whole up/down movement 2. Breast in front of shoulders 3. When pushing up, let the arms push inwards That way you feel more burn in the chest and put less load on the triceps/front shoulder
This has been a huge help! Been doing the wrong for years and I was starting to have shouler pain. Only 20 reps in and this is where I normally start to feel pain but haven't experienced any. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial, I had been elevating my shoulders at the bottom, which has been causing pain around the collarbone area. Now I know how to avoid it
Thank you Jeff to clear out the dip problems. I stop doing it due to the pain in my shoulder, I did it wrong. I will give it another shot following your instructions. God bless Jeff
Thanks Jeff, for all you do. I appreciate your unique perspective (being a personal trainer AND a physical therapist). I wish I had the benefit of your videos in 2004 when I started seriously lifting weights. It's never too late, though. I'm on a program now, and looking forward to getting really fit. I appreciate you.
A video would be nice, but he did go over it a few times. Basically you wanna be upright throughout the movement and you don't wanna go below 90 degrees. As far as elbow pain goes, i suggest doing a thorough warmup. I found that standing tricep extensions with say 2-6kg of 20-30 reps work wonders. Now i don't know what kinda program you're on, but if you do biceps and triceps on the same day. I'd also suggest doing biceps first, as that kinda warmups the elbows even more. Also skull crushers are a no no
@@maverick3069 They are a bit awkward for the joint. Some get great results from them but if you feel any discomfort in the elbow you might want to replace them with something else
@@maverick3069 One of the worst in my opinion. Jeff actually has a video on how to do 'skull crushers' the right way. Although technically he's not doing skull crushers but a lying tricep extension. Basically you don't go to your forhead but instead you go behind your head, and when you lock out your arms are at a 60-ish degree angle. I've used a decent amount of weight on this methond, all while doing triples and even singles, and all the pressure i felt was directed at my triceps - aka no elbow pain whatsoever. Now i haven't done skull crushers in like two years, but i remember feeling immense elbow pain everytime i'd go below 4 or 6 reps...
@@ducamorisable Yea i do it the exact same way. Extend it behind the head and never bring it straight up. I overloaded it to 60lbs bar and i felt immense pain in my elbow even with correct form. It's fine if i go upto 40lbs. Just wanted to know if that's common.
I was excited and nervous to purchase a dip station but rather very protective of my shoulders. This video is outstanding took lots of notes and will reflect and re-read every time I use it. Thank you Jeff. Found you about a year ago May 2nd. After going to so many funerals decided it was smart to get in shape the shape I've never been in my life and turn things around. lost 43lbs since then and have added muscle. Thank you Jeff Iron sharpens Iron takes on a whole new meaning :)
You wouldn't believe how massively I've been benefited by coach Cavalier's videos. In just 6-7 months, I've made a great deal of progress in my strength and hypertrophy while reducing my body fat percentage. Controlled negatives, cheat reps, going to failure are the key elements that I now implement in my training. I've become a big fan of Jeff's explosive conditioning. All in all, he has turned out to be the epitome of inspiration to all of us. Best wishes, Jeff!
Please do more videos on recipes. I know you're not a cooking show but the recipes you showed on a few of your videos gave good insight about the type of diet needed for better physical performance.
Hey Jeff. Great information. I'm 52 and just started going back to the gym. I keep coming back to your site because I'm finding all the ways I've been doing exercises for the last 30 years is wrong. I watched your shoulder video recently and your bicep video. Good stuff. I had rotator cuff surgery a few years back and while the surgeon was repairing that he noticed I had a partial tear in my bicep tendon so he did a 'debridement' on it. Now the outer bicep is so weak. I can barely curl 15 lbs on that arm. Hoping your info will help me out. Keep up the good work!
I actually used to exercise to Jack Lalane on TV. Watching Jeff the last two years has completely turned my workouts around for the better. This guy’s a total ace! Incredible tips for your dips. For me at 60, more than ever, my attention to detailed form is critical!
Jeff can you please do a video on dips and sternum pain? Personal scenario: Is it due to the bone not being fused cause i'm still growing (i'm 19 years old and if i were to take a look at my father, i'd guess i still have more room to grow frame wise), which makes it vulnerable to these kind of heavy loads? I especially feel sternum pain when i do weighted dips.
@@TheActionTourist because that part is actually articulated. when i started working out, my sternum would pop, and it did hurt a little, like when you crack a knuckle. as i got into more exercise, it stopped popping and the pain stopped as well. this happened to me at 22. anyway, for this kind of things you should ask your medic, and not people on the internet who woul never have an accurate picture of your situation in order to help you effectively.
Yes! I needed this... Dips largely hit my triceps and shoulders (sometimes painful) and not so much my chest. I'll be implementing these tips next workout
⚡⚡Oh Crap!⚡⚡ I crapped myself.... 💩💩💩 That's normal, right?... All part of the process. Anytime I lift those weights and I don't give birth to my colon, I count as a good day.
I've been doing dips for years. I had gotten sloppy though -thrusting before being in a good position, funky orientation, and all kids of crap. This video guided me back onto the straight and narrow.
Summary: ■Slide body & chest forward and body through arms which places chest in front of shoulders. ■Position body in anterior tilted forward position. Another thing is NEVER go from a position of really leaning forward at the bottom and come back up to an upright position at top which is horrible for anterior capsule like 1:45 ■set the shoulder blades in the right position to provide stability to shoulder by depressing the shoulders at the top ■focus not on hands pushing down, but on elbows and biceps getting them close to your sides which directs force inward. This instantly activates chest alot more ■at the top of the movement, focus on trying to squeeze the handle in, not pushing down.
Great tips! I wish I had seen the video before I hurt my SC joint. It's definitely not an exercise for beginners, especially those with weak back muscles, which are needed for support.
He does do some clickbait at times, but it's necessary to complete with other clickbait videos that provide bad content. His info is the best so well worth each click
Ever since I started following Athlean X, I have made so much progress. He's more than just another fitness instructor on RUclips, he's like a life coach for me. Even better, 95% of the time he puts out a video and I'm like, how the hell does he know what I need to improve on? Total respect for the guy! You are the best Jeff!

@@TheActionTourist because that part is actually articulated. when i started working out, my sternum would pop, and it did hurt a little, like when you crack a knuckle. as i got into more exercise, it stopped popping and the pain stopped as well. this happened to me at 22. anyway, for this kind of things you should ask your medic, and not people on the internet who woul never have an accurate picture of your situation in order to help you effectively.
Awesome instruction! This video helped me improve my form and got rid of shoulder pain from incorrectly dipping. Thank you!
Yall ever seen kipping dips? Funniest thing i've seen
Not until you've seen kipped squats

I was watching a video about it yesterday and laughing at those cross fitters.
@@JRX6YT brb gonna go see how it looks
The worst thing is, they teach the strict dip and say it is restrictive. Well duh
Thanks for this, I started feeling pain on my left collarbone, and immediately knew that I need to make some adjustments.
Keep up the great job!
Thank you so much I was doing it wrong for months and had insane collar bone pain. Also love your 6 Pack App.
Because of my "soma type" I have to do romanian dips.
When I dip, you dip, we dip!
Yes! I needed this... Dips largely hit my triceps and shoulders (sometimes painful) and not so much my chest. I'll be implementing these tips next workout
I thankfully do perfect dips, for my nachos that is.
😂
Thank you I never knew I needed to push inwards when doing dips I already feel a difference.
⚡⚡Oh Crap!⚡⚡
I crapped myself....
💩💩💩
That's normal, right?...
All part of the process.
Anytime I lift those weights and I don't give birth to my colon, I count as a good day.
Wow, I learned a bunch in this vid.

I've been doing dips for years. I had gotten sloppy though -thrusting before being in a good position, funky orientation, and all kids of crap. This video guided me back onto the straight and narrow.
1.8k likes and 3 dislikes....... That is jeff guys👍👍
The dislikes are from Crash Test Jesse
I was just searching for how to dips correctly and this popped up. Love you jeff
Song yong ho same lol
Not gonna lie i thought dips were a tricep exercise
They can be depending how you adjust your body.
Thanks very much from New Zealand for all your awesome teachings.
Thanks for saving my shoulders Jeff . You are the best
Absolutely incredible knowledge - and very humble to give this away for free! Thanks
Summary:
■Slide body & chest forward and body through arms which places chest in front of shoulders.
■Position body in anterior tilted forward position.
Another thing is NEVER go from a position of really leaning forward at the bottom and come back up to an upright position at top which is horrible for anterior capsule like 1:45
■set the shoulder blades in the right position to provide stability to shoulder by depressing the shoulders at the top
■focus not on hands pushing down, but on elbows and biceps getting them close to your sides which directs force inward. This instantly activates chest alot more
■at the top of the movement, focus on trying to squeeze the handle in, not pushing down.
Pro tip from Jeff on technique when you are pushing back up. Really felt the difference after I changed my technique!
Very useful stuff. I have some this problems with big dip experience(?). Thx, Jeff.
When I saw Jesse's mistake I felt identified, now I now what was my mistake and how to fix it. Thanks ☺️ you are awesome!!
Been wanting to add dips to my workout for a while now and this vid helped a lot.
Perfect timing! Tomorrow is chest day and, because of you, I started doing dips. I'll put this video to use tomorrow. Thanks!
Love dips! I used to be very critical of my forward lean. glad you corrected me. Huge burden removed.
Messed up my shoulder last week doing improper dips, good vid👍🏻👍🏻
I consistently have had issues in my right shoulder from doing dips improperly. Going to implement these changes! Thanks!
For the past month I've been looking for a video/tutorial that actually breaks a bodyweight dip's technique down like this. Great video!!!
Great tips! I wish I had seen the video before I hurt my SC joint. It's definitely not an exercise for beginners, especially those with weak back muscles, which are needed for support.
No clickbait title and short video filled with relevant info. That's how I like this channel!
He does do some clickbait at times, but it's necessary to complete with other clickbait videos that provide bad content. His info is the best so well worth each click
If everyone listened to Tony all personal trainers would be out of business this man is a gold mine of knowledge
Ever since I started following Athlean X, I have made so much progress. He's more than just another fitness instructor on RUclips, he's like a life coach for me. Even better, 95% of the time he puts out a video and I'm like, how the hell does he know what I need to improve on? Total respect for the guy! You are the best Jeff!
ATHLEAN-X thank you so much my shoulders today are in much pain I was doing this completely wrong.
Thank you Jeff I was getting it wrong all the time when I wanted to target chest
