Good video! I personally use more ROM when I train for hypertrophy and the days I specifically train to raise the weight I lift I try to optimize my technique.
Thank you very much for the video. Could you do the same for chin ups and pull ups? There I always feel a big difference when it comes to adding weight. Also how tucking the weight with your knees changes the movement quite a bit.
¿How should the scapula move when performing dips (either in p-bars or rings) to maximize chest hypertrophy? I treat it as my main chest exercise and usually do them with retraction and depression at all times since the stretch and pump on the pectorals feels greater than when letting my shoulder blades do whatever they want through the movement; but I wanted to ask since maybe i´m just biased regarding my own anecdotal experience with the movement
Sir, make a video on lower chest muscles through dips..like how many ways of dips that actually hit different types of muscles...when I try dips...feel more stretch on shoulder but not feel stretch in chest...Fix this sir...
Arching back on the bench press is good for chest development , flat back will involve the shoulders more , Dips in other side , I treat it as a shoulder/chest exercise , that's why i don't try to isolate anything on it , I just protract my scapula and do the movement .
If you watch some lifters who really contort themselves, it’s hard to argue this is good for chest development. The range of movement is so restricted and the technical adjustment is about maximizing weight in a lift rather than trying to develop muscle. There’s a lot of research demonstrating restricting ROM on bench hinders muscle growth. When the back is EXTREMELY arched, the range of movement is minimal. I probably should’ve used a clip of such a lift in the video as an example rather than trying to demonstrate myself (I don’t have such impressive mobility). I encourage you to try to find some clips of this technique on CZcams.
I'm sorry to say Simon but because of bad bench analogy you get dislike from me. People arch their back not only to reduce their range of motion, but to get their shoulder blades together thus eliminating shoulders from the equation as much as possible (that way exercise becomes mainly chest focused) and there's also stabilization factor.
This video was about the dip, not a technical analysis of the bench press. The bench press analogy was to show that you can make adjustments to maximize the weight lifted that aren’t necessarily optimal for training adaptations. Yes, arching the back in the bench press will do more than reduce ROM. It also changes the shoulder angle you’re pressing at to mimic a decline press. Generally, people are stronger in this position. However, one of, if not THE primary thing it does is reduce ROM. If you’ve ever seen powerlifters really contort themselves, the primary benefit comes from this.
Who gave a thumbs down really Simonster all ways gives top notch info
It is really cool to see you posting more.
By the way I am in week 4 of project calisthenics level 2 and it is awesome !
Great video Simon
Thank you Simon!
Great presentation, very helpful.

awesome content!
LOVE THIS VIDEO
amazing!

Does leaning more forward reduce the work required? I feel it more in my chest when I lean forward.
What are weighted dips variation except the straight bar one?
For example if plateau normal dip What exercise to change to?
How is your long head of the triceps so developed? Any tips?
Can we get about weighted pull-ups?
Simonster!
(just for the algorithm; same great content as always)
🙏🙏 thank you!
@@SimonsterStrength Wow, you replied! Gotta show this to my son - he won't believe his idol answered his old father... ;)

weighted calisthenics program coming???
What shoes are those
how do i round those shoulders
Is there a number of dips you should be able to do before starting weighted dips.?
There’s no clear cut answer to this question but I would recommend around 15 bodyweight dips before adding weight.
@@SimonsterStrength Great thanks 👍

@@SimonsterStrength Fair enough.
You just said that flat bench is more optimal than arched back.
