Also is there any validity to using a 1RM calculator to do the math here?

Say we take a 200lb person and calculate 65% of his weight to 130.

130 would be the working set, correct?

At 14 reps his 1RM would be 203lbs using the Brzycki calculation.

Is it fair to guess a person should be able to do 1 dip for 5 sets then?

how about you just try dips and see how hard they are instead of being an autist about shit that doesn't matter

Calculators like Brzycki equation let you compare volume by reps and weight. There is usually some level of crossover, but you will get better at the 14 rep range moreso than at the 1 rm. If you add in something like archer pushups there'd probably be a better transition to dips, or incline (I think that's the right one) pushups.

Archer definitely looks like it makes one side harder so I can see the strength gains transferring over.

Incline however would be the opposite of dips.

It would probably be better to do pushups on a decline by placing your arms on boxes or something.

The intensity lessens on decline because of a lower percentage of bodyweight being in the arms and a higher percentage in the legs.

I see what you're thinking. The trick is to do/go towards a planche rather than allow the arms to travel ahead of you. As the arms go further forward it works the lats more, as the go closer to the legs and feet you get more chest p much.

You're using decline when referring to incline push ups. Decline=feet up and incline=arms up. Also, 10 push ups and he should start p-bar dips, like the other anon said stop being autistic.

Just wanted to also add that negative dips are like free gains when working toward a dip and he should be super setting those in with his push up routine. Work down in progressions. Negative/jumping dips to decline pushes/archer to regular to incline. Maybe some bodyweight flies.

What's that?

He should switch to dips when he can do a couple dips. Tell him that, faggot.
