Spanyard Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ahaha its so funny watching those dips. I could do up to 30 easily and Im not such a strong person, mabye because of my physonomy( I have really huge shoulders) I can do them but Im quite bad at HS push ups or pull ups for example. And Im not even a gymnast, just bboy that loves conditioning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffdrc Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 elite gymnast do not usually train for endurance feats like this... i'm sure they could do a bunch but the people that do these records train specifically for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Steve Low recently did 40 after working on weighted dips using himself+his BW in 3-5 sets. He did 40 regular ones afterwards. My friend said in college as a gymnast he could do about a 100. I haven't ever heard of a record though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Whealing Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I can't believe they were world record quality dips. Now no one else will be able to better the record with proper dips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Picó García Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Anybody has an idea of how many REAL dips an elite gymnast could do?Tons for sure, (the real ones of course). I can do at least 25, and never do them consistenly, just a side effect of rings (where i do bulgarian dips, but just 10 when fresh), so imagine someone who can do malteses.

Blairbob Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Wow, I hadn't even watched the videos. Those were even shittier than I imagined. I really hate it when some of the kids just lean forward and push back versus actually lowering their body. I did 23 yesterday and I'm 5'1 165ish maybe 160. Currently I have a crappy tuck planche. Steve Low did 40 at 5'8 and 130ish. And he can planche on ground and straddle planche on rings. He's also got on the record a 170 weighted dip besides doing the 40r after 3-5 sets of BW weighted dips. My friend Roger competed planche on floor but couldn't get planche on rings in his hayday at just under 6 foot and 170ish. He was the one who said did a 100. I'm thinking since the HSPU record is 165, the dip record for a gymnast could probably hit 250. Who the hell trains that many dips though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 There's the difference that this is how many dips in a minute so it's not THAT much of an endurance feat.. more just being able to get the smallest rom possible with the fastest speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many more depends on their endurance ability I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Any decent elite gymnast who really trained endurance dipping is probably waisting their time. They would more than likely not beat some individual who trained it. Maybe post career though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Who cares? I mean...it's a movement that you will not do in nature,and even in your gymnastics training you will evolve to HSPU or weighted dips.PS: that "dips" are RIDICULOUS...shame on that video.

aoa Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 i do sets of 20-25 regularly, but my personal record is 29i go all the way down, until my arms can bend no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemonkey Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 hahahahahahahaha Dips....really!?!He was humping the air in support position. I'm very disappointed in how world records are judged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sapinoso Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 We did a contest at my gym for strict dips when I was 13 or 14 years old. I did around fifty or sixty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seiji Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Reminds me of that clip Blair posted about crossfit where the animated lady was concerned that the guy was having a seizure with his "pull ups". I'm no muscle man, but I might be able to get near that amount of dips with his ROM in a minute. What a disgrace... to himself and to Guiness.
