Exercise selection, sets/reps & a host of others acute programming variables are all important – but nothing is as important as consistently attacking each training session w/top notch effort. Lots of inferior programs have produced results simply b/c guys worked their butts off.

A lot of people heavily debate whether dips are good or bad for shoulder health. As is the case with almost anything in the fitness world, the answer is probably “it depends.” 🤔 That said, what isn’t even remotely debatable is what the positioning of the head and neck should be. Cranking into cervical extension (top) is definitely not a good strategy if you’re interested in preserving upper extremity health. You’re better off keeping the head and neck in neutral (bottom), if you’re planning on including dips in your program. #cspfamily
