Shoulder pain during DIPS? Do THIS!

Alright quick tip, when you’re doing dips, you always wanna avoid trying to keep your body too upright, or swinging back and forth, so if you lean forward during the eccentric and shoot upright during the concentric, as both of these will take the load off of the chest. So instead, maintain a slight lean forward the entire time and let your scapula naturally retract on the way down and protract on the way up as you push your shoulder blades apart, and always go as far down as you comfortably can as this is an exercise that loads the lengthened or stretched position, but not too far where your shoulders shift forward and it starts to feel unnatural.

I hope that helps and subscribe for more lifting tips! #Gym #Shorts

The dip is an exercise that loads the lengthened position which means it gives you the most benefits at the bottom. So while you do want to go deep, always stay within your active range of motion. If your shoulders start to shift forward and feel uncomfortable, you are going beyond your active ROM, and its much better to end the move a little higher to avoid injury.

This video was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

The width of the dip bars are often times the problem. Most dip bars have a width that you can’t adjust, but not everybody has the same build. I tried them many ways, but it just isn’t comefortable for my joints (mostly AC and shoulder)

Hey Max,
could you maybe do a video in the future how you select exercises for your secondary workouts of the week which hit the same muscle group but with a different exercise and go about how and why to do it?
Really appreciate the information you put out lately!

The problem is with the cue for most people,
Its not lean forward but should be taught as Lean Over
Lean forward cues you stay upright and to tilt forward and stick your chest infront of your arms

Instead you should stick your legs infront of you creating a bow or half moon shape (hollow body)
And think of the dip as a push up in the air

Bend more at the thoracic spine over the dip bars instead of tilting or leaning your upper body infront of your shoulders with your legs back

You can also lean forward even more by tucking your knees to your chest. This brings your torso to near parallel and it almost becomes a chest press. Once your chest reaches failure you can drop your legs and push a few more reps out with your triceps.

Bro, I think you're going too deep in the eccentric to the point it completely takes the load away from your chest and could even cause shoulder pain. U said as low as you comfortably can but still seems unnecessary and potentially risking injury.

Wow! This was actually perfect for my situation. First rep I did the shoulder pain was gone.

MAX BRO! I WAS STRUGGLING WITH SHOULDER PAIN AND MY DUMBASS NEVER THOUGHT TO USE MY SCAPULA. THANK YOU LEGEND

[retardhorse]

a guy from youtube said that you also shouldn't cross your legs while doing dips to prevent imbalances

[Arms.Enthusiast]

The other thing… dips are like squats, the best way to get more out of them is going deep, and your body will climatise to going deep if you naturally and with intent increase your range of motion over time.

I had to search for this. I've added calisthenics 2 days a week for the last 2 months and dips are a major part of it. Shoulder pain was too much last night so I avoided dips. Push-ups was not a problem.

#1 there's different type of dips
Vertical torso (will maximize tricep activation)
Building chest to bar with retracted shoulder blades and feet forward will activate the most chest. Shoulders retracted and body out front and going at a angle will work the shoulder the most and is the safest position for them . Also the way he is doing them is incorrect and going past no is okay but not needed and will only be beneficial for the shoulder version if your trying to prevent injury prevention. Also is the most difficult version similar to a front squat going AtG and will result in the most tendon gains / mobility. DO NOT PROTRACT YOUR SHOULDER WHILE DOING DIPS AS SEEN IN THIS VIDEO!

Today I tried keeping my body upright and felt better with my neck pain

Muchísimas gracias amigo, justo lo que necesitaba

[Castro]

On that deep stretch you’re working your front delts, keep elbows at 90 degrees

[SunnyLaraJr.]

Yo what adidas are those, they’re really nice! 💯

[ryang]

Yo max what kind of sneakers r those? Need a new pair for workouts cuz mine wore out! Love the content!

[SMEbeats]

Doing dips hurts my sternum, only after the workout though, never during it, anyone know why ?

[florin]

Could you do this but for shoulder pains during Incline Dumbell presses? I enjoy using dumbells but might quit em cuz of how much pain I feel on my left shoulder between reps
