Will just focusing on achieveing a 50kg weighted pull up and a 30kg weighted ring dip ensure me a big and developed upper body?

I would add Overhead press and Deadlift. Ive been ignoring deadlifts for years, i can do a 71kg weighted pull up but my lower back is shit
>>38715756
Add some Rows (inverted/bent-over/pendlay) and overhead presses/handstand pushups and you are set.
Just a tip: The key to healthy shoulders that can withstand the heavy stress weighted dips carry is to have evenly developed musculature around them and a SLOW progression to let the connective tissue adapt.

big, probably
developed?
dips put huge pressure on your shoulder and elbow joints
incorrect pullup movements are easy to learn if you lack the mobility and strength in your shoulder stabilisers and lats
If those are your goals, realise that you're going to do accessory training and lots of stretching and joint mobility work to do it safely

what you mean by slow progression?
>>38715756
I can do 30kg dips (on bars) for 8 reps and 35 kg chins for 5 and I wouldn't say that I have a big and developed upper body

I know I have to do the other main compounds and 3-4 accessories, but I meant making weighted pull ups and weighted ring dips as main lifts, doing them at the very beggining of my workout (I do push / pull [AxBx repeat])

that's pretty good brah, dont beat yourself down
what did you do for those nice traps?
>>38716375
You look like you have seen some shit, bro.

>nice traps
Really? thanks. Just deadlifts (175kg 1rm), 3x8-12 trap-bar shrugs 2 times a week and standard rows and chins.

yeah i've seen myself be a fat fuck kek
OP there is actually a guy at my gym who is as strong as that and he is smaller than me. Diet and genetics will probably determine how big you are at that level
