Stick em in a backpack and put it on, and do weighted dips with it.

explain please

i discourage dips because of all the pressure it puts on the shoulder joints. your making it much worse when you start adding weight. take it from someone who use to strap a 25 lb barbell while doing them.

try close grip benches instead.

Well yeah, if you have weak, tender rotator cuffs and crappy form. That's why you strengthen the cuffs. Mike Mahler used to do them with about 190 pounds strapped on and had no shoulder problems.

good for mike.

dips are one of the five most certain exercises to do if you wana injure yourself. and no, squats or deadlifts arent on that lift..because with proper form you really dont injure yourself. but with dips its a different story. way too much pressure is put on the shoulders..i forget the exact anatomy.

what im saying is do dips with caution, and dont overdo them. also do the same with upright rows.

When I do dips, (which is rare) I use 2 benchs. One to put my feet up on, the other my hands. That way, my full body weight isn't on my shoulders.

I agree. Dips are not good for your shoulders. I have rotator cuff problems.

Try Kick backs for tri's...
