Petri Widsten 293 Posted July 30, 2020 This is from my third session of RTO dips; could I please have a form check? I'm doing 5x 3-4 reps. Once I have these down (10 reps with good form), how do you suggest I progress this exercise? Add weight, dip lower, turn rings out 90 degrees....? Do you think these are good training for building up to bent arm tuck planche dips/pushups? I'm considering alternating between them, PPPUs and 45 degree dips.

I'm sorry to say again that there is no dip or pushup variation that gives you the strength for the planche. strength is specific and especially isometric strength is also more specific. in order to improve planche you MUST train planche.

Is the form ok? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Referring to your dips, is imperative to lockout always your elbows, in your second rep for example the lockout is not presented. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
