I have been doing dips for my chest, shoulders and triceps for a while.
And I was always having two problems.
One was that my right elbow was always feeling dinged.
You know, not really hurt, but, not really feeling perfect either.
Oh, I tried everything I knew, I warmed up--I use an exercise band for this.
I tried stretching out my chest.
But.
Nothing really seemed to be helping
Second,
I was having trouble getting a good number of reps.
All of this changed one day, when buddy of mine was watching me doing dips.
And he said, man, you leaning so far forward I am surprised you are getting any reps at all.
I must admit, that at first, I was embarrassed, after all, I have been bodybuilding for 30 years.
But.
Wanting to make gains,
I asked him to show me how he does dips.
And after watching him knock out more reps than I want to admit.
I was ready to do them his way!
That was a bit ago,
And now, my elbow does not hurt,
And my the number of dips I can do has gone up.
LESSON
Never assume that you have all the answers.
And always look to improve.
GO FOR IT!
