Dips

Try dips on gymnastic rings, biceps have to hit rings for rep to count, I did sets today with 2 sec descents then explode up, was very tough
 
Haha I love dips. Years ago my ex was training with the weedy new boyfriend so I loaded up with 40kg and did sets of dips alongside them. I had no trouble doing a few sets of about 8. Bodyweight was around 90 in those days. I couldn't do it at the moment but I don't think it would take long to work up to it again.
 
Hit 8 or 9 @30kg then 20 @bw. Was after bench, probably could've got more more out if did them before. ROM is shoulders go in line or just below elbows. Grip width is about the same as deadlift width
 
I can only do resistance band Dips. Is there an ideal way to strengthen the tri's for unassisted Dips as opposed to doing them very shitley with the assistance of the res band?

I was woeful at dips only a few months ago but just stuck it out... Basically keep doing them and you will get progress.
Probably unrelated but started doing the '7 Weeks to 50 Pull Ups' program and noticed my dips improved as well.
Just grind it out man!

Do dips off a bench with you heels on the ground. Then progressively add weight resting on your lap.

Bench dips, really most other tricep work would help, persistence
 
Cheers guys. All taken on board. I did chest and tri's this morning and smashed my tri's using dumbbells, cables, bench Dips and assisted dips so must be on the right track.
