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.

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.

I actually have no idea what I'm doing.
I just figured it would be hard to hurt yourself with only your own bodyweight

how is it dangerous?

idk if its just shitty form but whenever i do dips it feels like my pec is tearing off my sternum

Because it probably is lad. Stop now before it's too late. People have cracked their sternums open doing these.

I got that the first few weeks I did dips then it just stopped. Haven't felt it since.
Don't work through the pain though, wait until it's gone then try again.

like any other exercise it's safe if your form is correct

I HATE BENCHING SO I DO WEIGHTED DIPS INSTEAD BUT I DONT WAMT TO DIE. WHAT DO I DO??????

ITT: dyels
do your dips
dont "drop" the weight on the descent and tear your shit up like a retard

I don't even workout but I get sternum pains from shifting my body. What could be wrong? I don't feel any pain if I try to press on it though

It could be sternum cancer. I'm 100% positive

just do them 90 degrees maximum only to keep them save

t. pussy with shit form

This.
Or use a Slingshot.

>t.retard
as expected of OP
i dip 5x5 +40kg at a bodyweight of 90kg
which makes for 130kg or ~287lbs
never hurt myself before, despite the large weight

take away message: you are a weak fuck

>I highly doubt it. I did some unweighted dips today and hurt my clavicle.
Maybe next time try doing them with good form.

>I did the exercise wrong/too heavy, hurt myself, and am blaming the exercise for something that was my fault

Never gonna make it with this mindset.
