Chains around the neck is by far the most badass way of doing dips

No shots taken brother.
I did a lot of chest focus earlier in my workout.
I do a chest/ tri day.
These weighted chained dips are for tricep focus after my barbell bench routines I do.
I get low enough that the chains catch on the ground - Lessening the weight, and upon locking out, the weight increases.

2 45lb chains and 2 30lb chains.

Try to avoid machines...at all cost.
As far as pain, not much to say but suck it up. Otherwise, you can try front squatting, but that targets different muscles. Have you tried overhead squat? Obviously you will not be able to do as much weight, but it targets the same muscles along with involving your core. It's a ***** to get it, but when you do,
yea that's what I'm thinking man. I wish I knew what the problem was. I have the bar low enough. shrugs. It's fine until I start getting up there in weight. anything under 380ish I dont even feel it. was doing reps with 425 the other day and my legs were fine, it was the bar what was giving me the most trouble smh. I'll just suck it up I guess. yea I'm straight on the smith machine. I tried to used it the other day for calve work...it was awful. such an unnatural feel. ez pass.

Ok yeah, they are a ton of cues that people use in regards to form and as long as the end product is a properly done movement, theyre all useful.
The Essentials book? I have it and it was a requirement in grad school. Its alright, the exercise portion of it is meh. Some of the chapters are really good.
The NSCA and ACSM are widely regarded as the two best certification routes. It depends on what you want to do really. What jobs have you been looking at?
Id actually be curious at taking a look at them too.

Well the same trainer at my gym recommended the CSCS personal training one, its the only one from them I can get because I do not have a degree.
It seems like it is the most expensive out of the bunch. I guess I should look at those 2 a little more. I honestly just like the sound of CSCS more because it has strength in the tittle lol
I just want to help people get strong as ****, I really don't want to work with grandmas and overweight moms all the time but whatever pays the bills is what Ill do. I just want to help people reach their goals and really enjoy what Im doing.

No problem. Its not the kind of test you can half-*** either. From everyone ive talked to, its a ***** to take.
Doing some testing this week. I havent done any 1RMs in a long time so im doing some pre testing this week and will post test in a few months. Ill make a post at the end of the week with what i came up with.

I just tested my 1RM on squat a few weeks ago, haven't really tested any other ones yet. I think I could have squeezed out a few more pounds on it though but didn't want to push it. I like to leave a rep in the tank sometimes personally.

I try to make progress each week. It varies for the lift though, like squat will be easier to add then bench in m opinion.
But the main factor is the time you've been lifting. People that are new to the gym can add more weight quicker then someone that has been lifting for awhile. I heard Brandon Lilly say in a vid that it took him over a year just to add 5 pounds on his dead lift.

What's the consensus on weighted dips? Read that it can destroy your shoulder.
I like doing it with a 45lbs dumbbell between my legs 3x15 regardless
