Doggcrapp Tricep Dips

tricep dips
I'm in the middle of week 10 of my current blast and doggcrapp tricep dips was on the agenda today.

I'm not talking about bench dips... I'm talking about full fledged tricep dips at a station, like the one on the <- left.

Not even a year ago I couldn't do any dips do to a left shoulder injury that seemed to last forever.

Now that my shoulder has healed up, I'm making steady progress on chest, shoulders and triceps exercises. Today I hit two record lifts.

One was for decline smith benching and the other for dips. I used my weight belt to secure a 75 pound dumbbell to my waist and proceeded to perform tricep dips at a dipping station.

Here's the workout:

Week 10 - Wednesday - Workout 1B

Notes:
LL=Last Time
TT=This Time
RP=Rest Pause
SS= Straight Set
WM=Widow Maker


Chest Exercise
Decline Smith Bench Press
LT 275lbs x 14 RP
TT 290lbs x 5+3+4 = 12 RP
That's a PR for me!

Shoulder Exercise
Lifefitness Machine Shoulder Press
LT 145lbs x 21 RP
TT 155lbs x 8+4+6 = 18 RP


Triceps
Station Dips
LT Bodyweight + 65lbs x 17 RP
TT Bodyweight + 75lbs x 7+3+3 = 13 RP PR!
Yeah baby! Even though I'm a couple of reps shy of my rep range, I'm very happy with these. I'll try for more reps next time and leave the weight at 75lbs.


Back Width
NG Pulldowns
LT 180lbs x 21 RP
TT 190lbs x 12+7+5 = 24 RP
+10lbs and + 3 reps! Looks like the forearm is cooperating.


Back Thickness
Smith Under Hand Rows
LT 250lbs x 4 SS + 215lbs x12 SS
TT 250lbsx x 5 SS + 225lbs x 10 SS
I'm still trying to get to 6 reps on the heavy set. 1 more go. +10lb jump on the 225 set!

With 2 all time Personal Records, I'm very happy. Needless to say my triceps are SMOKED after declines, shoulder presses and doggcrapp tricep dips.
