I prefer to lift alone when I can because I don't like to socialize a lot of the time. Lifting with someone requires me to talk, and lifting is like a "no-talk-only-think-zone" for me. I'm self-motivated, so I don't require accountability. With that said, I also don't go heavy without a spotter. I "socialize" enough to be on speaking terms with certain people who workout in my gym. When I need a spot, I ask one of them.

Yeah, and we won't see videos from them either.

I remember when I couldn't do a single dip 2 years ago... no joke.

Good job man!

Sometimes I get jealous seeing what you guys can do then I remember when I have parties and the beer muscles come out, people try ring dips and almost kill themselves. I can live with being well above average in the real world lol.

The ring dips were sets of 10, as part of a larger workout. The standard dips were three sets (10/10/5.)

Come at me bro! Make sure it's the last thing you do in your workout. My 44 was after front squatting, military pressing, weighted dips, leg pressing, etc. etc. BMW_Matt on camera! Yes!

After?! Why not do it fresh!!

Because I didn't do mine fresh, so your fresh number shouldn't be compared to my fatigued number (...I can probably do 60+ fresh based on that 44 fatigued ). Same as my pull-up video.

But then I should compare what I do that day to yours then!

Not necessarily (..you may not work out like me), I just want you to be fatigued in some way, shape or form.

Sex? I could go run a few miles?

You're a funny guy.

Here's my dips.

No warm ups. Just ran out to do them before my 6pm workout

33! Nice! I personally think that your body is a tad too far forward.....meaning you're off center. You could/will likely do more if you adjust your body position. I think I'm going to max out on ring dips too. Open gym at the local gymast camp is Thursday. I might even post some flips for you guys too.

those look miserable
