My program calls for 20, 14, 12, and 10 dips. I knocked out 4-20's. Is it ok to do more and would it be ok to go to 25?? I'm a little sore (not bad) from Sat. but can tell it will work to gain the muscle!! Any advice?

Stick a 25lb dumbbell between your knees. You won't make it to 20 reps. ;) I love doing weighted dips!

Thanks jben. It will probably build those triceps faster. I''l try it Sat. on dip day. :)

It will also build your lower chest. Be sure to keep your eyes straight ahead and keep good form when you use the weight. Good luck!

Man, and here I thought someone would be asking about my cream cheese dip! It's made with the 4 main food groups! (sorry, no legumes)
