Did some weighted pullups today with 45 lb dbs and my left shoulder didn't like it

 

well that sux. dips are what usually lite up my front delts

 

Idk I’ve never had probs will pull ups. It could be because I couldn’t find those chains to put around my waist and instead I was hooking the weight with my feet and my angle was a little wonky and couldn’t flare my Lats as much.

 

I do not like weighted pull ups or dips. Those are body weight exercises. I don’t see the point in adding more weight, you can do other exercises to hit those exact muscles with variable weights and not make things so awkward or risk injury

 

Look man, we can all poke fun here.... but what you just said to me is beyond fucked up. I can’t believe you’d insult me like that

 

Dips are the devil. Ask my pec.

 

I can't do dips very well either. I find different variations to use that don't piss off my shoulders. It's very hard for me to get the right angle without irritation. It is doable, but difficult esp when I am fat.

 

I love pull ups, dips and pushups. Ask my lats and pecs

 

Same here. Shoulder does not allow dips.

 

my labrum feels the same way

 

Have you ever tried pushing the pads down on the assisted pull up machine? That is my dip variation since we don’t have those seated dip machines.

 

I’m just kidding BB. You know I Luh you

 

Lol I have this dude on ignore and he still mentions me. Shits sad.

 

If its not a dip, its not a dip. Machines change the entire dynamics of the exercise.
A pull up on an assist machine is not a pull up
A squat on a smith machine is not a squat

I’m with @ThunderCookies on that. Do the real movement. Bothering with all the other variations strips the point of the original movement and can add risk.

 

But he is saying he doesn't like those body weight movements? I do dips, pushups, pullups regularly.

 

I don’t like adding weight to them. I love the movements. I do dips on my arm day and I do pull ups 2x per week. Push ups I do sparingly but I’m not against them, I just press everything else and don’t need them

 

how do you know he mentioned you if you’ve got him on ignore?

 

I luh you too, you furry little meatball

 

I can see his quote in your reply lol

 

I just recently started adding weights to them because of this program I'm running. I usually do them body weight.
