My near dip

[poopmonkey]

I got brave toward the end of my workout today. After having done my dips, incline bench and lat dumbbell raises, I started eyeing the dip machine again...

I decided to try a dip using half the assistance I used for my workout (12 plates.)

I stuck the pin in the 6, and PRESTO, I did it! One Dip!

I finished my last set of raises and decided that I would make another attempt... with less weight. I stuck the pin in 4, made it halfway down and back up. Success? Not really, but close.

Now, I feel like someone socked me in the chest, right between the collarbones.

A month ago, I was using 15 plates. Hoooty hooo!

Good for you!

I tried to do unassisted dips after my last workout (must be the planets or something...we're getting the same crazy ideas!). I was able to do one, but that was it.

dip assistor?

That contraption that allows you to do a dip without having to lift your whole body weight. The one with the metal pedal that you stand on while dipping.

Good for you! You'll be doing many dips before you know it....
