Thought I would post this on the main board plus will get the odd bit of footage of boomage in future. If nothing else the noises coming off me should give folk a chuckle

That's very good, but I'd rather see you doing concentration curls in the squat rack like a real man!

They were foam weights, admit it.

Good form. Glad you only go to parallel, as any lower with that kind of weight and you're shoulders will be screaming.

OK OK I admit it.

It wasn't 3x20k plates...it was those big massive ghey rubber 10kg plates that look like 20k and some folk like to fill a bar out with to make it look like they are lifting HUGE

Very hot stuff. Is it possible to pick up your Scottish accent in your grunts?

On the last rep if you listen you can make me out grunting (or trying to) "RILLA"

Was supposed to be loud and clear for that little bitch to hear but i was under a bit of stress and it didnt come out right

Next time stare at the camera and say this is for your Rill Bitch and then do the excercises.

You can make out the accent. On a very random side note, you're looking very buff, even in that camp pistachio green combo.

Great dips! Wasn't sure if you were shouting Rilla or sqeeek

Is it not recommended to go below parralell for weighted dips? Or does it depend on how it feels for you?

I dont think it would be worth the risk on shoulders and tricep/elbow tie ins to go below parallel. Not with any kind of weight anyway

Good work Rab.

Want to see you break my 4x80kg PB

Im not sure i could take on 80k mate but you know that i will try sooner or later.

I aint been dipping regularly since i injured my chest a while back so i do think there is room for improvement. WHether my shoudlers could support that i dunno!

Especially for you since you have a fecked shoulder (rotator cuff right). Lots of stress is put on the shoulder if you go below parallel. It may be fine now, esp for young lifters, but after years of doing them I can tell you that my shoulders now never hurt from dips.

@Ash: yes, when I stopped going low to just about parallel (maybe 1" under on some), it did feel weird. Stick with it and it gets better. It's worth it in the long run imo.

I tend to get on without any problems for dips actually as it's more the top of the rotator cuff towards the back of the shoulder. However I'll make sure I listen to my shoulders and stick to parralell.

Or kickbacks... and real men do all their exercises on swiss ball so those dips will never count.

Nice work Rab - 40kg x 4 is my top weight on Dips so well impressed.

Yep, I think dips don't need to be taken beneath parallel for exactly the reasons mentioned above. Fabulous chest exercise if you get the right angle of lean, grip width and elbow position. Love em.

Good stuff mate,getting real strong !

That sporran definately needs a trim !!



Can't believe you finally get rid of those streaks and then go and wear that top .

Im ignoring you - you're making taking the piss far to easy
