10 most common dip mistakes:

1) Range of motion – mistakes are quarter reps at the top or


at the bottom. Small range of motion is wrong. Use the
MAXIMUM range of motion that your mobility permits.
Pain is the sign that you’ve gone too deep, use the range
that is comfortable to you.
2) Fully lock out the elbows at the top every single rep- it’s
a must.
3) Uncontrolled eccentrics. You’re robbing yourself of the
opportunity to get stronger. Respect the negatives and
you’re going to get much more results and prevent
injuries.
4) Use a moderate tempo in full range of motion.
5) Leaning forward is bad. It’s not safe or effective.
6) Leaning too far backwards is bad, too. Go straight down
– it’s the best way to keep making progress.
7) Avoid arching the back during the dips.
8) Don’t use momentum by aggressively kicking with the
legs.
9) Shoulders go forward and hips go back – a common
mistake, too.
10) Don’t move like a pendulum
11) Inconsistent tempo – some reps are fast, some are
slow; inconsistent technique. You’re just going to get
inconsistent results.
12) Grip – don’t use a technique if it hurts, choose what is
comfortable.
13) Squeeze our shoulder blades together and DOWN
There’s a critical piece to your success that you likely are
missing

A man of intention with nothing really to show for it

Barelling towards their goals at a break-neck pace

The only path to sustainable happiness is the one of sustained


action

Learning how to love being in motion towards something good

But still, I need to expand my horizons

Watching other guys succeed, and strive, and compete

I was working up the courage

It’s essentially a fast from dopamine-induced activities,


particularly low-value ones

It’s probably the most dramatic thing you can do


If I take them off the table, there’s no more conflict all of a
sudden
The crown jewel of it is the sense of satisfaction
