Best for dips

[trusted56]

Would you guys suggest weighted dips to improve overall strength? I feel like I can move my body weight pretty easily with dips and pull ups. Do you guys add weight often ?

Overall upper body pushing strength. It won't do jack for the legs

I used to add weights for dips, but now I'm lazy and use a tricep push down machine to push a lot of weight.

dips are a key compound lift, BUT you need to be careful not to overtrain your shoulders otherwise you will end up with major problems as you get older

Dips are frigging amazing accessory movement to boost your bench press.
But it is also very hard on your shoulders so be careful when you start hanging weight around you.

Both weighted dips and weighted pullups are part of my routine. Both excellent exercises

i don’t ever add weight, i just do high reps and rep them out when i do them.

Yeah definitely be wary of your shoulder when loading up a lot of weight!
