    Thinking of training squats, dips and curls only

    I know its not respected when guys only train certain parts. But really, these are the parts that need to catch up so I was wondering your guys' thoughts on this All that seems to grow is my back and delts. Maybe if I wasn't training them the rest of my body would improve :confused:

    3 only

    There was s discussion here ages ago about choosing one exercise only. Which one would you choose? Let’s do 3. 3 exercises only if you had to choose.

    Ring Dips

    Another Ring Dip thread on here warns about Ring Dips being dangerous, I assume moreso when fatigue sets in. But getting into them lately I haven't gone anywhere near losing control enough to be worried about it. Perhaps some ergonomic, ergobionic expert can dispute my experience. I know...

    Anyone here avoid certain lifts?

    Anyone here avoid certain lifts because they just don't agree with your body.

    Metal detector ?????

    Has anyone purchased a metal detector or own one? My kids are breaking my chops for one and I don't know anything about them. Do these $120 eBay jobs work or are they useless and need to go closer to $1000 for it to work? Considering how many kunce were at the beach yesterday, might not be a bad...

    Weighted dips - how much ?

    Hey big bench pressers and huge triceps owners (lucky ones): do you do weighted dips and if so with how much weight and reps? I can do 10-12 reps in 25kg + BW (92 kg ), extra deep, but my arms are still average sized, nothing huge apart from my enthusiasm :-D Tell me your story please. Thx.

    Dips

    Howdy, Lately I've been smashing the dips. I've been doing them first up when strength levels are high. My question is how do you warm up? I can't just use BW because it's like doing a working set straight up. I put my feet on floor and and take some weight off but it sux?:mad: How do you warm up?

    Bodyweight training.

    Bodyweight exercises are a big part of my workouts, I chin up and pull up 3x a week and do dips twice a week. Previous to working out I could chin up maybe 3 reps and i've gone from that to around 3 sets of 5 since starting, same with pull ups except I could barely do 1. Dips are a little...

    Alternatives to Assisted Dips

    ive always struggled with pull ups / chin ups. so i've been using the assisted machine to compensate however this just seemed unnatural. so i thought i would just do 4 reps of however many reps i can and each week would just progressively get stronger. well i ended up straining a neck muscle...

    Assisted Chin ups/ Pull ups/ Dips?

    I was just wondering what people think about assisting when using bodyweight excercises. I've been assisting while doing dips, pull ups and chin ups for a while now since i'm no good at any of this and I feel like its getting harder to do non assisted reps now that i'm so used to being supported...

    Dips

    How far down should I go?, I am doing them on an assist machine as I can't lift my own body weight yet and my left shoulder was really sore after doing them last time. My training partner said I was going way lower than normal, below parallel, but one of the more muscular guys in the gym said it...
