Improving your dips requires consistent practice and attention to form, especially if you have hypermobility issues like I do. When I first started, I struggled with dipping too low due to my joint flexibility, which can increase injury risk. To avoid this, I focused on controlled movement and maintaining shoulder stability throughout the exercise. One key to progression is doing dips regularly every week, as gradual volume builds strength and muscular endurance. Even though it may feel frustrating at times, persistence pays off. I also incorporated complementary exercises like scapular push-ups and negative dips to build the supporting muscles. Wearing the right workout gear helped keep me motivated during training. The Alphalete mid-rise amplify contour leggings and open back bra in tidal teal provided great comfort and flexibility needed for bodyweight training movements. For anyone working on dips, I recommend focusing on proper technique: keep your elbows close to your body, lower yourself until your shoulders are just below your elbows (but don't go too deep if you have hypermobility), and avoid locking out your elbows at the top to keep tension on your muscles. Ultimately, doing dips every week does improve your performance, but listening to your body and adjusting depth and volume is crucial for long-term progress and injury prevention. If you’re aiming for a new personal record like me, stay consistent, use proper form, and enjoy the journey of building strength with calisthenics.
