Just a reminder that dips are one of the most dangerous exercises you can do and have a higher chance of snapping you up than deadlifts or squats. And the snaps can be severe.
There's no reason not to just do any kind of dumbbell or barbell press instead.

I like them though
Is it safe if I don't use any weights?
I used to do weighted dips every other workout. Got pretty good at them too, but I started having shoulder pain and I think they probably caused my presses to stall as a result, but I can't say for certain.
funnily enough I snapped my shit with weighted dips last week, not a 1RM but a regular working set
thank god it's only a strained pec (pec shape retained, no swelling and no bruising after the injury), I was definitely close to completely tearing it
I fucking hate dips (I do assisted, weighted ones).
>I do dips with too much weight because i dont know my own strength level
I highly doubt it. I did some unweighted dips today and hurt my clavicle.
>Weighted dips
Me and plenty of people have been doing dips for years, weighted and not. Like anything else its safe if you know what you are doing.
