Going back to bodyweight after doing weighted sets
I know this is common sense, but it still surprised me. Last night I did four sets of weighted dips at the end of International Chest Day and I was just completely wiped out. I started thinking how it had been a long time since I had done dips without a weight belt. Usually they have to kick me out the door because the gym is closing but this night I was a little ahead of my normal schedule so I thought "What the heck?" and dropped the weight belt and just did one last set of dips. Even thought I was exhausted I was amazed at how light I felt. I remember when I first started thinking dips were really hard, and I was almost 20 pounds lighter!

One of my favorite exercises is weighted dips. I occassionally also go weightless and when I do it feels almost like I have to stop myself from lifting myself off the dip bar!

Love weighted and regular dips!!! Wish they had the same effect on my chest as they do on yours. Keep hitting it, brother!

Maybe that is where I am going wrong…weighted dips! I don’t do nearly as many as I should…Nice to know
