Just about done on the gym floor I was asked if I had my dip belt with me.
I did as half an hour prior I’d been using it with my training partner who had already left.
I had done a 5-10-15-20-15-10-5 pyramid with bw+45 for weighted dips, then by myself did 3×20 seated row (3-5 sets of 20 being up the pin a notch progression time), 5×15 machine curls (progression time), pullups x10, x12, 5×15 see saw press (½ the curls, then a set of pullups, ½ the see saw presses, repeat, and again progression time on the presses), and the majority of my daily pushups.
Being asked about the belt I figured after having done some volume, to go heavy for a few sets of dips, even chins upon the coaxing.
He did a superset of both, I doubled chin ups at bw+45.
2×300+ lbs chins – ✓
He did another superset.
I connect three 45s to the belt.
Dips – bw+135lbs x2
Dips 2×400+ lbs – ✓
Finished my daily pushups, then did a final set of 10 weighted dips at bw+90.
It’s pretty cool to know if I was to wake up a fat body on the morrow, at 300lbs I’d still be capable of a couple chin ups, at 400lbs a couple dips, and at 350lbs a set of 10 dips.
Even fat bodies can have the strength for a couple reps of calisthenics – bro you’ve gotta get to some chins and dips.
