Guest ilove2workout28 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Which is better for chest strength/development? Here's how to perform gironda dips: and of course we all know how to do bulgarian dips. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael David Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 i think weighted dips much better than this variation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Libke Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Not having tried the "Gironda" dips, as demonstrated on the video, I am going to venture to say that Bulgarian dips are going to give a person more of a strength challenge. Of course, it is all relative to where a person is in their strength development to say whether one exercise is better than the other for building strength, but Bulgarian dips on the rings are tough, especially if a slow tempo is used to descend, and there is a pause at the bottom.

Blairbob Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Doing them on the rings that way would be harder than doing them Bulgarian style. Piking the hips and hollowing the chest make them easier. Besides dips on parallel bars are easier than rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sapinoso Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Gironda is probably more specifically aimed toward hypertrophy since it emphasizes time under tension, but if that's your goal, take the best of both worlds and use increased time under tension with bulgarian dips.

braindx Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Rings turned out (45 degrees past paralle or more) dips + leaned forward (30+ degrees)..... way better than any variation listed in this thread.For both strength and hypertrophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 So essentially you're talking about XR wide Korean dips lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sapinoso Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I think he means the same thing as what people refer to as RTO dips (think limited range ian). I'll vouch for these dips, with the amount of stretch and stress added from the lean, these are much better for strength and hypertrophy than any of the above, if you can handle them.

Joakim Andersson Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 RTO dips has helped my strength a lot. There's no movie clip of them here, is there? Would be nice though, so more people can discover them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ilove2workout28 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 wow. What does ROT mean? That vid is cool, and not to sound like an idiot (no offense to anyone), but ROT dips don't look too difficult; of course I have to try them for myself. It seems like there's a decent amount of momentum for you to push your way back up to the starting position. Once I do it (properly I hope), I will re-post about it.

DanielRTO is rings turned out.Notice that his palms are facing forward or "out" from parallel position.It is unlikely you will be able to do a dip holding this RTO position if you've never tried before unless you are strong from previous S&C background or have a very solid foundation in basic strength (which I doubt cause you've never heard of RTO).Do not use momentum. If he did, then he did by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Sapinoso Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 ROT dips don't look too difficultDanielthat's a side effect of my supreme buffness. . . making it look so easy :wink: i reviewed my video, what you may have perceived as momentum is simply my center of gravity shifting to compensate for the forward lean, however this is a controlled shift. a few reps on that last set though do appear to be a bit out of control. aim for gironda tempo with these if you want to negate all momentum.

Guest ilove2workout28 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I just tried the RTO dips, and lets put it this way, i didn't give it my all, but i managed 2 reps (not with the best form possible though). It's very difficult, and the positioning feels weird. Tomorrow I will really try them out. Thanks again for the vid and the NEW exercise for me to add to my routine.

Guest ilove2workout28 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Unfortunately, I don't have anything to make a vid. also, I don't have lot of room to use my rings; I use them in a door way which is about 31 inches in length, so the rings sometimes hit the sides, or my hands hit it. So it is more difficult for me as opposed to some other ppl who have greater space to use them. I just gotta make due with what I have.

Razz Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 If the rings are supporting against the sides its about 200 times easier. Also I'm guessing doorway means short straps but anyways, keep up the hard work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ilove2workout28 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 The rings AREN'T supported by the sides, but they SOMETIMES bang into them. The height that I can adjust them to (they hang from a pull up bar) is roughly 6 feet. After I do these, I do the Bulgarian dips right away.

Blairbob Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 You can also set the straps wide, makes it harder but that's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexX Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I gave the RTO dips a try, it felt like a mix between a dip and a bent arm planche to me. Not sure if I did it right, I leaned forward quite a bit but my legs didn't travel back in a nice straight line like in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
