troubles with dips

**Loki** · 07-May-03, 03:34 PM

i normally do them at the end of my chest and tri workout, which makes it quite hard to get all my sets in...i know the answer is pretty much obvious what i would need to do, to be able to get through my sets, but i was just tring to figure out where you guys through them in, when you are doing your chest workout?

Thanks in advance...

I do biceps and tricpes toghter and i do dips for 1 set to warm up. then i do weighted dips, overhead extensions, kickbacks, and cable pressdowns.

why not do 1 set of chest dips (as they work your tris to) and just do 1 set to failure or a few reps shy of failure
don't bother with weight but keep adding reps on this one

I never do very many exercises for any one bodypart (back might be an exception) and I rotate my exercises a little every now and then. So I rarely get in that situation where I'm too beat to get my sets in. I guess you just have to tough it out. Eventually you'll get more adapted to that workload and then you'll be able to do more.

i usually end up over working my chest and tris because i'm interested in a good looking chest and arms, but i really heard that dips are good. I guess i'll start doing them just short of failure after my flatbench press, and see how that goes. i have seen guys doing dips with 85 lb. db's hanging from their legs...that's crazy to me since i can barely finish a set. i'll try some of this tomorrow, because it's chest & tri's again...i'll post the progress on this to see if it was successful at all..
