DIP PART 2

START AT THE BEGINNING

I see this problem A LOT with so many exercises. Where people aren't aware of the importance of maintaining a good starting position on the success of the ex*****on of the entire movement.

With machine dips, we see the issue of clients not being able to maintain that starting position of having their shoulders away from their ears.

Instead, fall into a passive shrug at the beginning of the movement, where their shoulders are only going to further elevate as they move through to the bottom of the movement.

One of the big secondary benefits of dips is the utilization of the lower traps to maintain that shoulder blade position at the top of the movement in that low reach positon. But that benefit can only be realized if we cue the shoulders to stay away from the ears at the top.

Be good♥️🤘🏼

DIP (Part 1)

Machines are built for everyone, and in turn, oftentimes built for no one. But all hope isn't lost.

Here are two tips that will help your dip machine ex*****on.

1. Sit further back: Just get your knees under the pad, rather than having the pad up at the hip crease. You'll have to use a little bit more "abs" to control your position but it will make for a much better shoulder position.

2. Grab the handles at the bend: We want to have a ~ 45-degree angle of abduction at the shoulder which can be difficult if you grab the bar at the parallel part of the handles. Grabbing at the bend will let the elbows flare slightly and pair well with you sitting a little further back in the seat.

If you can't "activate" your glutes, you're in the wrong position.

Your nervous system will only allow you to load as much as it trusts you to stabilize. A lack of pelvic stability is proportionate to a lack of muscular recruitment in the glutes.

If you want to be maximally effective in your glute training you need to understand how to stabilize your pelvis first.

SHOULDER PAIN (FIX) ✅

Pain is a check-engine light, and oftentimes not the root cause of an issue.

With the shoulder being such a mobile thoroughfare within the body it often becomes a common intersection where proximal or distal issues converge to sound the alarm.

Using a split stance and a more horizontal vector (cable instead of a dumbbell) Can force your body into co-contracting muscles that would otherwise lay dormant during a conventional lateral raise. This co-contraction can offer meaningful support to decreasing the contribution of some of these more peripheral factors of shoulder pain.

Now, be realistic. You're not going to split lunge yourself away from pain in the presence of major structural damage, but it's a good tool to keep in your arsenal to keep intensity high on days where DB laterals just arent cutting it.

Do you know how to use your shoulder?

The scapulothoracic joint is unique because the scapula attaches to the axial skeleton through musculature and not ligaments.

This is different from most other joints in the body because the lack of structure creates a demand for voluntary control of the musculature that crosses the joint to create stability.

Shoulder stability will always be governed by scapular stability. Scapular stability is governed by the ability to control the ribcage and scapula articulation.

Awareness is the first step.

"Coach" isn’t a title. It’s a responsibility.

Being a Pre-Script® coach means raising the standards. Not just for your clients, but for the entire profession.

Pre-Script® coaches are cut from a different cloth. They don’t settle. They don’t coast. They show up. Curious, committed, and relentless in pursuit of their best.

Not just certified. Qualified.

Load the Mid Range

The mid-range is where we have the highest capacity to produce force. That’s exactly why we use it to load tissues and/or patterns and drive adaptation.

Yes, we can bias certain muscle groups with joint angles, setup, and arm paths.

But in the pursuit of precision, we can’t lose sight of the multiplier: load.

You don’t get stronger by perfectly aligning every rep on paper.

You get stronger by applying enough force, in repeatable positions, over time.

Refinement matters.

But precision without meaningful load is just expensive warm-up work.

Use biomechanics to drive stimulus, Not to avoid effort.
