whats the most anyone has seen anyone do on wt. dips

[cal]

i was reaading a thing about old time strong man who did a wt. dip with 435 lbs...at 200# ...and 10 sets of 10 with 220 during normal workouts...

whats the most anyone has done or seen anyone do...?

i would not consider myself great at dips...but do 135x8 ...fairly easily towards end of chest workout...

what's a good goal to reach for...

10 pounds more than you could do last week

yes that is what...i do on a short term basis...i just like hearing some numbers...so that i have a long term goal...i know 180 is not far off though, ...

I do four plates on a regular basis but I am limited by the dip bar that I use. I can feel it flex quite a bit under the load so I don't go much heavier. I would guess that since there are guys that can bench over twice as much as I can these days that there would be guys that can do twice as much as me on dips to.

at a body weight of 217 lbs 11% bf i do Free-body dips 3 plates for 12-15 reps 5 sets and on hammer strength i do 6 plates for 8-12 reps 3 sets..

The most I have seen is five plates for 6 good dips.

I do dips to failure with only my package between my legs. I figure the total weight is about 6 oz.

Im just imaging going over say 180lbs would be very unhealthy for joints, elbows and your body? Seems like on a dip station going fairly deep you are asking for trouble?

 

[TRAPS21]

I agree. My elbows hurt enought with one plate for dips. I Just stick with the one plate and increase my reps or go to failure. 5 plates is impressive though.
