Max number of dips you can do in one set right now? Just body weight and gravity.

Breaks 90-degrees at elbows. No swinging legs. Last 5 - 7 you may disagree with. After 50yo, I’m counting them!

Kidding.

Age: 37, 151 lbs bw (no, I'm not Mingo).

I can get 35-40 with just my bodyweight. I usually do weighted sets, though.

I stop at 40 reps with body weight. Second set I use two plates with a belt for 20 reps.

Dips are the squats of upper body. This is one of the many reasons gymnasts have jacked shoulders.

At age 55, new philosophy. Heavy weight equals heavy Ortho copays. Breaking 90-degrees is greater risk than return. No meniscus in knee, no running for thee.

Chit like dat.

To say, dips and leg press now measure my father timed arse.

Well done! Salute.

I’m 6’2” and 220lbs. Dips are all I got nowadays! Torn this and missing that. Kidding.

Dips kill my elbows, so I have no idea how many I can do because I avoid them like the plague.

When I do dips, I'll tweak my shoulder about 50 percent of the time.

Years ago, I made a genius move, after then teenage son got a heavy bag for Christmas. I rared back and Rocky III’ed that SOB. Mild torn labrum and had to give up dips.

Over the years since, dips are back with vengeance. Never repaired shoulder. Dips no bother it. Incline bench w/dumbells F my shoulder up with pain.

All to say, I don’t do anything (Dip form) special.

You talking behind the back dips on a bench or the ones on the aparatus with two handles sticking out?

Not legit unless ring dips.
