Bodyweight dips or weighted dips for chest growth?

Always control eccentric, that’s where growth truly happens.

Ensure controlled negatives, avoid ego lifting heavier weights.

60 to 100 progression indicates consistent training adaptation.

Negatives matter more than squeezing at top honestly.

Slow negatives protect joints and maximize muscle tension.

Prioritize full range contraction, not just moving weight.

Warmup properly before attempting heavy EZ bar curls.

Pump fades quickly, eccentric strength stays much longer.

I chase both, but prioritize controlled eccentric always.

Your tendons need time to match muscle strength.

Add pauses at top for better peak contraction.

Negatives increase time under tension, improving hypertrophy stimulus.

Letting weight drop wastes half the growth stimulus.

Keep elbows stable to isolate biceps effectively throughout.

Control everything, especially eccentric phase of every rep.
