Anybody have a useful progression for the single bar dip?  I'm on that level.  Regular dips, i can do a 53lb KB for 5 reps.  Can't even get close to 1 single bar dip.  Tried to rig up a band to assist to work on it, but didn't work very well.  Thanks

Hi Jared, the first thing to do in this case is checking the form.

Here's a YouTube video showing the form.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find much on Gymnastic Bodies talking about the form for this exercise.
